Yes, Das Packhaus started off as a temporary use project with a one-year contract, which has been since prolonged approx on an annual basis. Starting our 10th year in ’24, it doesn’t sound so temporary anymore, it all depends on the definition after all.

Paradocks is the organization behind Das Packhaus. Initially founded in 2014 the association Paradocks initiated Das Packhaus in order to create affordable working spaces for creatives, start ups, artists and many more. Paradocks does much more than the set up and management of temporary use/coworking space buildings; they work project based for real estate companies, developers and city councils too, moreover they cooperate with institutions and organizations focusing on urban development and the prevention of vacancy.

At the moment we have 2 buildings. One in the Marxergasse 24/Seidlgasse 21 (+/- 4000m2), adjacent the famous Sofiensäle, one at Am Heumarkt 4 (+/- 1000m2) with a beautiful view on the Viennese ice skating rink.

So what really is coworking? Creatives, startups working together in a space? In our case the space is an entire building. We are the first in Vienna to specialize in a coworking building with more than 100 private offices, shared offices, flex/fix desks and a coworking landscape with meeting rooms, lobby, garden, photo studio, phone booth and event venue.

Apart from the private offices, shared offices, fix and flex desk areas, we have different meeting rooms (30-60m2), an event venue (160m2) , a large lobby (50m2),photo studio (60m2), movement space (60m2), phone booth and garden. We used to have a rest area, yoga space and factory space, the latter still exists, but only on request. The variety of spaces also depend on the location/building. The purpose of our spaces can change depending on the needs of our members. We also have multi purpose spaces. Have a nice idea for a space? Contact us!
