Overview
- Hamburg’s HafenCity tops the rental ranking with a penthouse listed at €21,500 per month in net cold rent across roughly 396 square meters with harbor views.
- Bavaria places three offers in the top tier, led by a Rottach-Egern apartment on the Tegernsee at €15,000 a month, plus Munich listings in Neuhausen-Nymphenburg (€14,800) and a Lehel maisonette (€12,500 cold/€14,100 warm) with 455 square meters and parking for up to six cars.
- Immowelt’s rankings aggregate listings posted on immowelt.de from January through November 2025 and include only full exposés, with figures representing asking prices rather than concluded rents or sales.
- Munich’s tenants’ association warns that limited new construction and higher borrowing costs are intensifying pressure on average earners as more households remain in the rental market.
- A separate sales list names a lakeside villa in Herrsching am Ammersee as the year’s priciest house listing at €35 million with direct access to the water and a boat house.
