Apartments for sale in Chemnitz
Chemnitz, the former East Germany’s fourth largest city, is located near Germany’s south-eastern border and therefore quite close to Poland and other East-European markets. It’s true to say that re-unification initially made such locations less attractive – for instance, there was little major development in the city centre until around 1999. Nevertheless, recent years have seen a steady reversal of this trend. So, as often happens, the city’s relative wealth is presently not well reflected in current rental levels, which, according to TAG Immobilien figures for 2017-18, have remained virtually static. Though this represents an advantageous opportunity for tenants, astute investors will understand this is also a good indicator of future development capacity.
An investment that pays off
While Chemnitz may not yet feel entirely comfortable describing itself as a trendy location, Immowelt data confirms the property ROI in both western and eastern Germany is now significantly greater than that achieved in northern and southern Germany. What is more, the industrial city of Chemnitz actually tops the Immowelt list alongside Duisburg and Wuppertal. In recent years, the city has seen a welcome influx of more than 10,000 new residents. Furthermore, the positive rate of economic growth within Chemnitz now means it consistently appears among Germany’s top ten cities. Since the dawn of the new millennium, the city has regularly returned a high GDP. In 2016, for example, the city’s economy registered a GDP of €8.456 billion and returned a per capita GDP of €34,166. Prospective investors will see there is much going on under the radar in Chemnitz.

Increasing residential value

Despite this trend, it should be noted that a 2018-2019 Savills comparison shows that transaction volumes in seven premier East-German real estate markets have all seen significant increases. In the case of real estate in Chemnitz, the growth was a very respectable +25%.

Considering affordable apartments in Chemnitz; to get a reasonable rental apartment with a good residential value you would currently have to spend 5 – 7 €/m2, a most reasonable asking price in the current climate.
Discover the city of industrial culture
One renowned Chemnitzer, German footballer Michael Ballack (former captain of Germany, and European giants Bayern Munich FC) has already succeeded in putting the city on the map for keen sports fans. However, the appointment of Chemnitz as the European Capital of Culture for 2025 is likely to bring the city to the attention of a far wider audience. The famous Chemnitz opera house, breathtaking Art Nouveau architecture, and historic Kassberg neighbourhood are sure to give visitors a fascinating insight into the city’s cultural heritage. Sometimes referred to as the “the Saxon Manchester”, Chemnitz has been an important industrial centre since the early 19th century. Long before that time – around 1170 – Chemnitz was appointed an Imperial City by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick 1. And by the Middle Ages, the city had grown to become a medieval centre for the regional textile trade.
Interesting facts about Chemnitz
Chemnitz is also home to Saxony’s third largest university, the Chemnitz University of Technology (TUC). Once a centre of singular technical excellence, its engineering focus has been upgraded in recent times to include disciplines such as computer science, economics, maths and social sciences. This Saxon university now caters for the needs of around 10,000 students. Given the city’s industrial heritage and educational resources, it is hardly surprising Chemnitz has attracted commercial investment and forged a reputation for excellence in many fields, such as: microsystem technology, the automotive industry, mechanical engineering and metal processing. Thus, the presence of multinational corporations such as Volkswagen and Siemens rather speaks for itself.
