A place for high-flyers: since June 2018, entrepreneurs and start-ups from the cultural and creative industries or the smart green economy have been able to find modern working environments in a unique location of Freiburg's industrial heritage in the Lokhalle creative park. The 1,500 square metre heritage-protected central nave and two side galleries provide with around 120 modern workspaces and plenty of open space for meetings and dialogue. The Lokhalle creative park is the result of a public-private partnership between the city's business development agency FWTM and the Grünhof start-up centre.
