Eisenach as an investment location for real estate
40,747 inhabitants (31.12.2024) - robust 40k demand base in the medium-sized center of the Wartburg region
Eisenach has 40,747 inhabitants as at 31.12.2024 and is therefore stable in the 40k segment, which creates a resilient tenant base with a moderate density of 391 inhabitants/km² for conservative cash flow calculations. Corrected state figures already showed around 40,804 inhabitants at the end of 2023, which underlines the continuity of the order of magnitude and thus the planning security for portfolio and repositioning strategies. Official series from the Thuringian State Office for Statistics confirm the extrapolation for the independent city and also provide structured key figures for time series analyses.
Accessibility and public transport: city bus network (Wartburgmobil/VUW), regional hubs and transparent passenger information
The city operates a well-developed city bus network and supports local public transport together with Wartburgmobil (VUW), which acts as a joint public transport authority for the city of Eisenach and the Wartburg district - including scheduled, school and replacement services as well as integrated sales services. Timetable information, route timetables and network maps are available centrally via the city and the Wartburg region transport association, which increases tenant convenience and transparency in micro-locations close to public transport. The joint local transport plan for the Wartburg district and the city of Eisenach provides the strategic framework for organization, network planning and tariffs/marketing and anchors the regional link to regional public transport relevant for city, central bus and train station corridors.
Urban development and ESG levers: ISEK 2030 with annual monitoring of measures and city center master plan (completed 08/2025)
The city council has adopted the Integrated Urban Development Concept (ISEK 2030) as an implementation-oriented guideline; the annual monitoring documents the implementation status of 45 measures and creates planning security for projects close to funding in prioritized areas - a viable framework for repositioning, EC activation and energy modernization. In addition, the city center master plan focuses on the revitalization of the inner city shopping area with a clear timeline until August 2025 at the latest and also serves as a basis for applying for funding-a direct exit lever for 1A/1B locations along the city axes. Accompanying city center impulses from funding projects are communicated publicly and strengthen frequency and quality of stay in central corridors.
