More than a year ago, I packed my duty laptop and a really misshapen monitor in a large plastic bag. With that, I went home carefully on the bike. Back then, we in the editorial office had to switch from our well-rehearsed processes in the office to home office within days. Even if the thought is nice that since then the newspaper and our digital offers have been coming even more directly from the city, it will be over pretty soon, I thought at the time. Then you meet my colleague R., who is just down the street and writes her articles from there, no longer at lunchtime at the bakery, but again in the canteen in the SZ tower.
A couple of weeks, a couple of months, then we’ll all be sitting together in the office again. That is how I thought, and that is how many other employees in Munich thought too. More than a year later, we all know: it will probably never come back like this. A bit of home office will remain after the pandemic.
My colleague Catherine Hoffmann investigated the question of what this means for the city. But if you often work in the home office, can you possibly even live better outside of Munich? And: where might the residents of the Munich metropolitan region move to if they don’t have to open the office every day? Questions that will undoubtedly come up to one or the other – and to which you may find an initial answer here (SZ Plus).
