Land Reference Values Dresden

What is the land reference value in Dresden?

The land reference value is the average location-based value of land per square metre, officially determined by the Dresden valuation committee for land values (Gutachterausschuss für Grundstückswerte) as of the 1 January reference date. In 2026 it ranges in Dresden, depending on location, from around €45/m² on the city outskirts to about €4,900/m² in the top locations of the city centre. For residential and mixed building land in sought-after areas such as Striesen, it lies between €350 and €1,400/m² in 2026.

What the land reference value tells you

The land reference value (Bodenrichtwert) states the average location value of the land per square metre — based on a developed, notionally undeveloped plot. It is derived by the Expert Committee for Property Values Dresden (Gutachterausschuss) as of 1 January from notarised purchase prices and is official information available free of charge. For this purpose the city area is divided into land reference value zones — each zone carries a value, a type of use and (from 2026) the state of development.

Zone-precise

Each location is its own zone with its own value — not a city-wide average.

What applies in your street?

The chart and the ranking give you the overview. For a specific location, this lookup returns the official land value zone your address actually sits in — based on Saxony's official building coordinates, not on a district average.

Which district is the most expensive?

The ranking lists every Dresden district by its average land reference value in the current year. The average alone is deceptive, though: what matters is the range beside it — it shows how far apart the strongest and the weakest location within the same district are. Sorting by the strongest rise reveals the neighbourhoods where most has happened in recent years.

Each row is a district, each column a year. The darker the cell, the higher the average land reference value. An empty cell means there is no zone of this type of use in that district for that year.

The line marks 2011: from that year the zones exist as areas, before that as points. Values across that line are only comparable to a limited extent — which is why the “since 2011” column starts there too.

How Dresden's land values have developed

Three phases can be read from the record. After reunification and the changeover from D-Mark to euros, values moved sideways or slightly downward until the mid-2000s. From around 2015 a steep rise set in across sought-after residential locations — in many districts the peak values more than tripled by 2022. Since 2022 the market has held at a high level.

Example: Striesen (W/M)

In the Striesen cadastral district the land reference value was still 120 to 290 €/m² in 2011 (Ø 191). In 2017 it was 240 to 590 €/m², by 2021 already 300 to 1,300 €/m². In 2026 the range runs from 350 to 1,400 €/m² (Ø 779) — a quadrupling of the average in 15 years. You will find the full record for your district in the chart above and on the respective district pages.

What you need the land reference value for

Estimate land value

Land reference value × plot area gives a first indication of the pure land value — the basis of every valuation.

Property tax (federal model)

Since 2025 the land reference value feeds directly into the property tax value. Anyone who knows their zone can sanity-check the assessment.

Splitting purchase price land/building

For depreciation (AfA) the land share must be calculated out — the land reference value provides the recognised basis.

Ground rent & leasehold

The ground rent is calculated as a percentage of the land value. The land reference value is the usual starting point here.

The land reference value is an average for the zone — not a valuation of your specific plot. Layout, usability, contamination or an unusual shape can shift the real value noticeably up or down. For a sale, what counts in the end is the individual valuation.

Source & methodology

The data is based on the official land reference value zones for the years 1992–2026. Only derived aggregates (Min, Ø, Max per year) are shown — not a complete zone-precise dataset. Data source: Gutachterausschuss für Grundstückswerte Dresden (Landeshauptstadt Dresden, Kommunale Statistikstelle). Licence: Datenlizenz Deutschland – Namensnennung – Version 2.0 (dl-de/by-2-0), Bodenrichtwertzonen, OpenDataPortal Dresden. Data modified: aggregated (min/avg/max per year); values before 2002 converted from DM to euros.

Why these official values show something different from the prices in property portals is explained in asking price or sale price.

Frequently asked questions

What is the land reference value?

The land reference value is the average value of land per square metre within a defined location (land reference value zone), based on a developed, undeveloped plot. It is derived by the valuation committee as of the 1 January reference date from the purchase prices recorded by notaries, and is official information that can be viewed free of charge.

Where do I find the land reference values for Dresden?

The city of Dresden publishes the land reference value zones via the OpenDataPortal Dresden and the Themenstadtplan. The source is the Dresden valuation committee for land values. The charts shown here are based on exactly this official data (Data Licence Germany – Attribution – Version 2.0, dl-de/by-2-0).

Is the land reference value the same as the sale price?

No. The land reference value assesses only the land of a notionally undeveloped plot and is an average for the zone. The actual sale price additionally depends on the building, condition, layout, usability and the specific market situation, and can differ considerably.

How has the land reference value in Dresden developed?

After a long sideways phase in the 2000s, land reference values in the sought-after residential locations of Dresden have risen sharply since around 2015 — in many areas the peak values more than tripled between 2015 and 2022. Since 2022 the market has been moving sideways at a high level.

What do I need the land reference value for when selling property?

It serves as an independent reference for the land value share, is the basis of the new property tax (federal model), is used for the tax-related purchase price split between land and building (depreciation) and for calculating ground rent (Erbbauzins). For a specific sale price assessment, however, it does not replace an individual valuation.
