Overview

• The former Westerland snack stand sold for €284,000 at a Deutsche Grundstücksauktionen AG auction, topping its €270,000 reserve after two bidders competed.
• The 35-square-meter property previously served as holiday apartments before being listed for auction.
• The new owner, a Berlin-based snack entrepreneur, intends to relaunch the Wurstmaxe Currywurst stand under its original brand.
• Refurbishment plans include a traditional reed roof to reflect the island’s coastal character.
• Wurstmaxe grew to twelve Berlin branches between 1981 and 2022 under the owner’s father, and the family has held a holiday home on Sylt for 27 years.
