The short answer

Baden-Württemberg Airbnb Market at a Glance

Across Baden-Württemberg, the 16,400 active Airbnb listings tracked by AirROI, a short-term-rental data firm, averaged $13,800 over the same period. They were booked on 39% of nights at about $145 a night; the ranking covers the 32 markets with at least 100 active listings.

The ranking weighs revenue per listing most, then occupancy and market size, then how evenly income spreads across the year and how it changed on the year. It reflects rental performance, not purchase prices or local short-term rental rules. How the ranking works.

How the Ranking Works

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Airbnb Investing in Baden-Württemberg

What is the best place to buy an Airbnb in Baden-Württemberg?

Freiburg im Breisgau ranks first of the 32 markets in Baden-Württemberg in AirROI's ranking, with US$19,300 in average revenue per listing and 50% occupancy. Heidelberg and Constance follow. The ranking weighs revenue, occupancy, market size, seasonality and growth; it leaves out purchase prices.

What are the most profitable Airbnb locations in Baden-Württemberg?

By revenue per listing, among markets with at least 200 listings, Rust leads at US$33,600 a year, ahead of Freiburg im Breisgau at US$19,300. Profit also depends on what a property costs to buy and run, which varies far more between markets than revenue does.

How much does an Airbnb make in Baden-Württemberg?

The average active listing in Baden-Württemberg earned US$13,800 over the 12 months to September 2026, at 39% occupancy. Across the ranked markets, the middle half averaged between US$11,000 and US$17,400 per listing. Averages include listings that operated for only part of the year, so a listing rented all year typically earns more.

What is a good Airbnb occupancy rate in Baden-Württemberg?

The average listing in Baden-Württemberg was booked on 39% of available nights over the past 12 months. Half of the ranked markets fall between 34% and 42%, so a market above about 42% sits in the top quarter. Occupancy is only half the picture: a market with lower occupancy can still earn more if its nightly rates are higher.

Where is Airbnb demand highest in Baden-Württemberg?

Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, Rust has the highest occupancy, with 51% of available nights booked, followed by Freiburg im Breisgau at 50%. Its listings average about US$205 a night and US$33,600 a year.

Where are Airbnb nightly rates highest in Baden-Württemberg?

Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, Rust has the highest average nightly rate, about US$205, followed by Überlingen at US$180. Mannheim is the least expensive, at about US$97. The average booked night in Baden-Württemberg costs about US$145.

What is the best month for Airbnb in Baden-Württemberg?

August is the highest-earning month for 14 of the 32 ranked markets, followed by July (13). January is the most common slowest month, in 16 of the 32 markets. Each market's report shows its own month-by-month revenue, occupancy and rates.

Which Airbnb markets in Baden-Württemberg earn the most evenly through the year?

Among ranked markets with at least 200 listings, Mannheim has the steadiest income: its slowest month, February, still earns about two-thirds of its best. Stuttgart follows, at 63%. Steadier markets are easier to budget for, though they do not always earn the most per listing.

Which Airbnb markets are growing fastest in Baden-Württemberg?
