Companies can book worker accommodation in Germany directly from landlords: furnished apartments for whole teams, priced per person per night, with a proper invoice (Rechnung) addressed to the company and VAT shown. On DMW you search near the project site, contact the landlord directly and negotiate team rates for longer stays — with no booking commission on top.
Why companies book Monteurwohnungen instead of hotels
For a crew of four staying eight weeks, hotel costs explode. Worker apartments solve this:
- Per-person pricing, typically far below hotel rates — see our price guide
- Whole apartments for teams: your crew stays together, with a kitchen and washing machine
- Kitchens cut daily food costs — no restaurant bills for every meal
- Parking for vans, trailers and equipment at many properties
- Flexible durations: weeks to many months, extensions usually easy
Your workers also live better: real rooms, a place to cook after a shift, and space that doesn't feel like a hotel corridor after week three.
Proper invoices for your bookkeeping
Landlords who host workers deal with companies all the time. As a rule you can get a proper Rechnung addressed to your company, with the VAT (Mehrwertsteuer) shown — important for your accounting and for input VAT deduction where applicable. To make it smooth:
- Give the exact legal company name and billing address in your first message
- Say who the contact person for the booking is
- Clarify the payment rhythm: advance, weekly or monthly transfer are all common
- Ask for one invoice per month for long stays — most landlords will do this
Booking for whole teams
When you need beds for a team, describe the whole requirement at once: number of people, dates, whether workers can share rooms, how many vehicles need parking. Landlords can often combine several apartments in the same building or street, so the team stays together. One contact person per booking — on your side and the landlord's — keeps rotations, extensions and invoicing simple, even when crew members change mid-project.
Search by the project address on the search page rather than the city name: a large apartment 15 minutes from the site in a smaller town is often cheaper and more practical than rooms in the city center. Browse all cities to see where listings are available.
Long project stays
For projects running many months, worker apartments are usually the most economical option:
- Monthly rates are often discounted compared to nightly pricing
- One agreement covers the whole stay; crew changes are normally fine if the number of beds stays the same
- Extensions are usually straightforward — landlords prefer keeping a reliable company tenant
- Agree notice terms in writing in case the project ends early
Put the key points in writing: dates, per-person price, number of beds, invoicing details, and what happens if the project is extended or cut short.
German-language service for companies
DMW also has a dedicated German-language page for companies with a direct inquiry form — if someone on your team speaks German, the fastest route is our B2B page for companies. There you can describe your requirements once and get help finding accommodation for whole teams, including in cities where you don't know the market. And if you're new to how worker housing works in Germany, start with the worker accommodation guide.
