Over the June 2025 to May 2026 window, Mönchengladbach averaged 62% occupancy across about 223 booked nights a year, sitting exactly on the 62% German national figure and level with the other German cities ListingOK tracks. Its 78 euro average daily rate is modest, in line with a secondary business city rather than a tourist capital, producing average monthly revenue of 1,339 euros per listing.
Revenue slipped 3% year on year, a mild softening rather than a structural decline, while the 52% seasonality index (one of the lowest in the whole dataset) is the number that defines this market. Read together, the figures describe a steady, demand-resilient city where the lack of seasonality is the real asset: a well-run unit can fill 223 nights without a summer surge, so returns hinge on occupancy consistency and matchday pricing rather than on premium rates.

These figures reflect real-time demand in Mönchengladbach, helping you plan and price strategically.
Mönchengladbach is a mid-sized city in North Rhine-Westphalia whose short-term rental demand is driven far more by business, sport and trade than by classic tourism. It sits in the dense Rhine-Ruhr conurbation between Düsseldorf and the Dutch border, so corporate travel to its textile-heritage industry, logistics parks and the regional business cluster underpins steady weekday occupancy. Football is a major draw: Borussia Mönchengladbach plays in the Bundesliga at Borussia-Park, and home matchdays pull supporters from across Germany and the Netherlands into the city.
Leisure demand layers on top through events at the SparkassenPark open-air arena, the Schloss Rheydt Renaissance castle, the city's parks and the proximity to Düsseldorf's trade-fair calendar, which spills overflow demand outward when major Messe events fill the regional capital. The guest mix is therefore weighted toward contractors, event-goers, football fans and visiting family rather than international sightseers, which keeps demand resilient but rate-sensitive. At 102 active listings, this is a small, professionally thin market.
Mönchengladbach is one of the flatter markets in the dataset, and its calendar is shaped by the football and events season rather than by weather. The best months in the data are October and August, with October 2025 the standout at 73% as the autumn Bundesliga and trade-event rhythm hits full stride. June and November also run strong (June 2024 at 68.5%, November 2024 at 67.6%), reflecting how matchdays and arena concerts, not summer sun, drive the peaks.
The weakest months are January and February, the classic post-holiday business-travel lull, with January 2026 dipping to 49.9%. The 52% seasonality index is among the lowest of any city here, confirming demand that holds up across the year. For operators this is attractive: there is no dead season to absorb, and revenue management is mostly about aligning pricing with the home-match and event calendar rather than riding a single summer spike.
The Stadtmitte (Gladbach city centre) around the Alter Markt, Abteiberg with its münster and the modernist Museum Abteiberg is the most convenient base for short stays, putting guests near restaurants, shopping and the main rail links. Rheydt, the city's second centre to the south with its own station and the Schloss Rheydt castle, is effectively a parallel hub and works well for business guests and longer stays at gentler rates.
For football-driven demand, listings near Borussia-Park and the North/Hardt districts capture matchday traffic and are easy to reach by car. Eicken and Windberg, the residential neighbourhoods ringing the centre, suit contractors and families wanting quiet apartments within a short tram or bus ride. Because the city is polycentric and compact, proximity to a station or to Borussia-Park matters more than a single prestige postcode.
Short-term rentals in Mönchengladbach fall under North Rhine-Westphalia's housing-protection framework, principally the Wohnraumstärkungsgesetz (WohnStG NRW) in force since July 2021, which lets municipalities act against the misuse (Zweckentfremdung) of residential space. Where a city adopts a housing-protection ordinance, letting a home to tourists beyond a defined threshold (commonly around 90 days per year) requires permission, and hosts must obtain and display a housing identification number (Wohnungs-ID) on their listings.
Whether a full permit is needed depends on the local ordinance in force, so operators should confirm Mönchengladbach's current rules and any registration duty directly with the city administration before listing. Separately, from May 2026 a new federal law requires platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com to report rental data to the Bundesnetzagentur, tightening enforcement nationwide. Hosts must also register guests and account for the applicable tourist tax and income tax. Confirm the latest municipal requirements before operating.

Mönchengladbach averaged about 62% occupancy over the June 2025 to May 2026 period, roughly 223 booked nights a year. That sits exactly on the 62% German national figure. The standout trait is how flat demand is across the year, with a 52% seasonality index among the lowest in the dataset, so there is effectively no dead season to absorb.
October and August are the strongest months, with October 2025 reaching 73% as the Bundesliga season and autumn events peak. June and November also run high on the back of Borussia Mönchengladbach matchdays and SparkassenPark concerts. January and February are the softest. Because the market is event-led, aligning pricing to the home-match and event calendar matters more than chasing summer.
Possibly. North Rhine-Westphalia's WohnStG lets cities require permission and a housing identification number (Wohnungs-ID) once letting exceeds a threshold, often around 90 days a year. Whether a permit applies depends on the local ordinance, so confirm Mönchengladbach's current rules with the city before listing. From May 2026 platforms must also report rental data to the federal Bundesnetzagentur.
The Stadtmitte around the Alter Markt and Abteiberg is the most convenient central base, while Rheydt to the south is a parallel hub with its own station and castle, good for business and longer stays. Listings near Borussia-Park capture matchday demand. Eicken and Windberg suit contractors and families wanting quiet. Proximity to a station or the stadium matters more than a single prestige district.
