What is a .immobilien domain?
"Immobilien" is the standard German word for real estate, and this domain is the long-form counterpart to .immo. German property portals, Makler (estate agents), and Hausverwaltungen (property management firms) use it to present a complete, professional identity. It's a longer extension, but in the German property market, the word carries authority.
Who should register .immobilien?
German estate agents (Makler), property management firms, real estate portals, and mortgage advisors in the DACH market.
Why choose .immobilien?
- Standard German real estate terminology

.immobilien, .de and the German property market
German builds nouns by welding words together, and Immobilien is the everyday one for property. It is what the portals are called, it is the word on the sign outside the Makler, and it is what somebody types when they are hunting for a flat in Hamburg. Spelling it out is the entire point of this extension.
It was delegated on 19 December 2013, which put it among the earliest of the new generic extensions to reach the root zone, ahead of most of the property names that followed. Dog Beach, LLC operates it, another registry entity in the Identity Digital group, and it is open: no German address, no professional body, no paperwork.
The real competition is not another new extension, it is .de. German buyers reach for a .de by reflex and we sell one for a third of the price. Where .immobilien earns its place is when the .de you wanted went a decade ago, or when the word itself is the brand: yourfirm.immobilien reads better than yourfirm-immobilien-gmbh.de and survives being said out loud. For a UK agency selling German property it makes a credible second address rather than a first one.
Is .immobilien the right choice for you?
We would rather sell you the right extension once than the wrong one twice.
.immobilien works well if
- Your market is Germany, Austria or German-speaking Switzerland and you want the extension to say what you do in the language your buyers search in.
- The .de you wanted has been taken since the 2000s, and every alternative involves a hyphen, a GmbH or a padded prefix.
- You are a UK firm selling German property and want a German-language site that does not pretend to be a German company.
Look elsewhere if
- Nobody outside the German-speaking world will parse it. Eleven letters after the dot is a great deal to dictate to a British customer.
- German buyers still try .de first. You will probably end up holding both, which adds to the annual bill rather than replacing it.
- It costs close to four times a .co.uk every year, and there is no discount for the length of the word or the size of your market.
Selling UK property to UK buyers? Register the .co.uk and spend the difference on the website behind it. See .co.uk pricing.
.immobilien vs .immo: which should you register?
The choice is length, not meaning. .immobilien writes the industry out in German; .immo is the abbreviation the trade already uses and works in France and Belgium too. Neither is restricted, both come from the same registry group, and the annual difference between them is about a pound.
So decide on the finished address rather than the extension. Read the whole thing aloud, then write it on an imaginary board outside a property. If the full word makes the line too long to scan, take the short one. If your brand name is one syllable and German is the only language you publish in, the long one gives you an address that needs no explaining.
.immobilien domain questions, answered
What people ask us before registering a .immobilien domain.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Ask us directlyImmobilien is the standard German word for real estate or property. It is a plural noun, used the way the property trade is talked about in Germany, Austria and German-speaking Switzerland, and it appears in the names of agencies, portals and management firms across all three. That is why the extension reads as professional to a German audience and as a puzzle to an English-speaking one, which is the single most useful thing to know before buying it.
A .de is the better primary address. It is what German buyers type without thinking, it carries a German signal in Google that a generic extension does not, and on our price list it costs about a third of a .immobilien. Where .immobilien wins is availability. Almost every useful German property phrase went on .de years ago, so if the name you want is gone, this is a sensible place to look for it.
Yes. There is no residency requirement, no local contact to appoint and nothing to prove, so a UK-registered company can hold one exactly as a German one can. WHOIS privacy is a paid add-on on this extension rather than the free consent-based arrangement Nominet applies to .uk names, so if keeping a registrant address out of public records matters to you, add it at the point of order.
