Wiesbaden leads German motorhome ranking with record growth!

The enthusiasm for camping in Germany is unbroken, as data that has been published today show. In 2025, Germany recorded an increase in motorhome stocks of 8.1 percent compared to the previous year. This is the result of a comprehensive analysis that Schwäbische and Goldenstein lawyers was carried out.

Wiesbaden leads the ranking with a motorhome density of 42.9 motorhomes per 1,000 cars. This high density increased by impressive 51.6 percent compared to the previous year, with car rental companies playing a crucial role in this increase. The number of motorhomes rose there from 6,336 to 9,608.

Freiburg and other cities in focus

Freiburg im Breisgau, which had the highest motorhome density in 2024, has changed its position in second place with now 40 motorhomes per 1,000 cars. Other cities with high densities are Flensburg and Kiel, with 38.7 and 38.1 per 1,000 cars. Constance occupies fourth place with 29.1 motorhomes per 1,000 cars.

In the Baden-Württemberg cities, there are also interesting data: Freiburg, Konstanz, Tübingen, Reutlingen, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, Ulm and Esslingen are among the top 20 cities with the highest motorhome density. In contrast, Offenbach and Frankfurt am Main have the lowest density in the federal comparison with only 8.2 or 8.6 motorhomes per 1,000 cars.

growth and trends in Germany

The growth of the motorhome stocks is not homogeneous. While there was a spectacular growth of 51.6 percent in Wiesbaden, cities such as Augsburg, Hamburg, Mannheim, Mönchengladbach and Munich see less than 5 percent growth. Mönchengladbach is 1.76 percent, which is a clear departure from the trends in other cities.

In addition to the pure numbers, it is also important to look at the legal challenges. Attorney Alexander Voigt warns of an exhaust gas scandal, especially for motorhomes based on the Fiat Ducato from 2014 to 2019, which affects over 100,000 vehicles in Germany. This could lead to significant loss of value for the owners concerned, but a judgment of the Federal Court of Justice has made it clear that they are entitled to compensation.

The love of camping and motorhomes remains unbroken and remains an important topic in the German leisure market. In the event of a further increasing interest in a flexible form of vacation, new developments and legal aspects must not be lost sight of.
