How Much Does House Demolition Cost?
House demolition in Germany typically costs between 15,000 and 40,000 euros, depending on the type of building. The biggest cost drivers are size and construction type, whether there is a basement, possible hazardous materials, and disposal of the rubble.
Demolition Costs by Property Type
Cost per Cubic Meter
A reliable basis for estimating is the price per cubic meter (m³) of enclosed space: €30–60/m³ without hazardous materials, €60–120/m³ with remediation. A single-family home of roughly 480 m³ at €50/m³ comes to about €24,000.
Key Cost Factors
Basement and foundation removal adds €5,000–15,000. Hazardous materials such as asbestos (common in pre-1993 buildings) increase costs significantly. Construction type, accessibility, and disposal logistics all affect the final price.
