The Wiesbaden market
Wiesbaden is the state capital of Hesse, hosting state ministries and parliament, and passed 300,000 inhabitants for the first time in January 2025; it also hosts the U.S. Army Europe and Africa headquarters at Lucius D. Clay Kaserne (Erbenheim), a major garrison with about 1,700 family housing units. The Hessian Mieterschutzverordnung has applied the Mietpreisbremse to all of Wiesbaden since November 2020 (re-letting rents capped at 10% above the local comparative rent, Kappungsgrenze lowered to 15% in three years) and was extended to 25 November 2026, but the Frankfurt Amtsgericht declared the Hessian Mietpreisbremse ineffective in late November 2025 and the state government is preparing a new regulation. Transaction volume recovered in 2024: the Gutachterausschuss recorded 2,211 purchase contracts, with condominium sales up about 25% year-on-year, while resale condos averaged 3,757 EUR/m2 (-1.5% YoY) against roughly 7,000 EUR/m2 for scarce new-builds. Market-active vacancy is low at 1.7% (CBRE-empirica, 2022), only slightly above the Rhine-Main region average of 1.4%, and asking rents have risen about 6-8% per year since 2023, supporting gross yields around 4% and demand driven by commuters to Frankfurt and Mainz.
