Germany’s super-rich have an exclusive taste – also when it comes to real estate. This is shown by a ranking by the Immowelt portal of the most expensive apartments and houses in this country.
It’s of course a topic in the Hamburg local press – Germany’s most expensive apartment is located in the Hanseatic city, very beautifully on the Outer Alster in the posh district of Uhlenhorst: the penthouse, directly on the water, offers six rooms on 430 square meters – and was according to the property -Portal Immonet offered this year for 8.9 million euros.
In second place was an apartment in the new Grand Tower in Frankfurt for 8.4 million euros. However, it is “only” 275 square meters, so the price per square meter is even higher than that of the front-runner on Hamburg’s Outer Alster.

The Immowelt portal – according to its own information one of the leading online marketplaces for apartments, houses and commercial real estate – evaluated offers on its own portal between January and November 2021 for its current ranking lists. The result was a list of the top ten most expensive apartments and another for houses.
The offer prices were always taken into account for the ranking – and not those of the actual purchase. It is therefore not possible to say whether the sums mentioned correspond to the actual purchase prices. However, the final prices are likely to have been roughly in this region – after all, the demand for real estate is currently very high in Germany. According to its own information, the portal only considered offers that were increasingly in demand, i.e. in which there was keen interest.
The evaluation shows that buyers for real estate in the luxury segment in this country sometimes had to pay prices in the double-digit millions, according to the conclusion of the real estate experts. Because exclusive and luxurious houses were offered for even higher sums.

The front runner among the houses was a property in Munich. For the domicile in the Bogenhausen district, the buyers asked for around 14.4 million euros. It is in the immediate vicinity of the Isar and has twelve rooms plus a roof terrace – and of course its own underground car park.
Bavaria’s state capital dominates the two rankings as a whole. Two of the most expensive houses were offered there – six of the top ten apartments in Munich have addresses.
If the Bavarian metropolis is too hectic and too loud for you, you will also find something nice to reside in the area: In the Starnberg district south of Munich, for example, two houses were offered at top prices, as Immowelt writes. A villa on Lake Starnberg with its own jetty was advertised for 12.5 million euros, a property on Lake Ammersee with a view of the Alps for 12 million euros.
Speaking of water: Those who love the North Sea and are well-heeled have found what they are looking for on Sylt. Three of the ten most expensive houses in Germany are on the island: A property with a view of the mudflat in Kampen was offered for 13 million euros – the second highest price in the house ranking.
