Section 9 of the business plan framework above asks which financing programs have been evaluated. Here's the answer your plan needs to provide.

KfW (Germany's state development bank) offers several programs relevant to padel hall construction and launch. One crucial operational detail: KfW loans are not applied for directly at KfW. They're applied for through your *Hausbank* (house bank), which passes the application to KfW and shares a portion of the default risk. This is precisely why your Hausbank cares so much about the quality of your business plan — they're on the hook too.

# How Much Does It Cost to Open a Padel Hall in Germany? Complete 2026 CAPEX Breakdown
|
||||
|
||||
Anyone who has started researching padel hall investment in Germany has encountered the same frustrating non-answer: "it depends." And it genuinely does — total project costs for a six-court indoor facility range from **€930,000 to €1.9 million**, a span wide enough to make planning feel impossible.

Anyone researching padel hall investment in Germany hits the same frustrating non-answer: "it depends." And it genuinely does — total project costs for a six-court indoor facility range from **€930,000 to €1.9 million**, a span wide enough to make planning feel impossible.
|
||||
|
||||
But that range is not noise. It reflects specific, quantifiable decisions: whether you're fitting out an existing warehouse or building from scratch, whether you're in Munich or Leipzig, whether you want panorama glass courts or standard construction. Once you understand where the variance lives, the numbers become plannable.

This article gives you the complete picture: itemized CAPEX, city-by-city rent and booking rates, a full operating cost breakdown, a three-year P&L projection, and the key metrics your bank will want to see. All figures are based on real German market data from 2025–2026. By the end, you should be able to build a credible first-pass financial model for your specific scenario — and walk into a lender conversation with confidence.

The single largest driver of CAPEX variance is construction. Converting a suitable existing warehouse — one that already has the necessary ceiling height (8–9 m clear) and adequate structural load — costs vastly less than a ground-up build or a complete gut-renovation. This line item alone accounts for €400,000 to €800,000 of the total budget.
|
||||
|
||||
Location adds another layer of variance. The same 2,000 sqm hall costs 40–60% more to rent in Munich than in Leipzig. That gap shows up not just in annual OPEX but in the lease deposit and the working capital reserve you need to fund the ramp-up — both of which are part of your initial CAPEX.

Steht die Fremdkapitalstruktur, bleibt eine Frage, die in fast jedem Finanzierungsgespräch zu spät gestellt wird — und die zu oft erst auf dem Konditionenblatt der Bank auftaucht.
|
||||
|
||||
Banken werden für eine Padelhalle, die eine eigenständige Projektgesellschaft ist, fast immer eine **persönliche Bürgschaft** des Gründers fordern. Das bedeutet: Ihre privaten Vermögenswerte — Eigenheim, Ersparnisse, Beteiligungen — haften im Zweifelsfall.

# Padel Halle Kosten 2026: Die komplette CAPEX-Aufstellung

Wer ernsthaft über eine Padelhalle nachdenkt, bekommt auf die Frage nach den Kosten zunächst eine frustrierende Antwort: "Das kommt drauf an." Und ja — die Spanne ist tatsächlich enorm. Je nach Standort, Konzept und Bausubstanz liegen die Gesamtinvestitionskosten für eine sechsstellige Anlage zwischen **€930.000 und €1,9 Millionen**. Diese Streuung ist kein Zufall, sondern Ausdruck ganz konkreter Entscheidungen, die Sie als Investor treffen werden.

Dieser Artikel schlüsselt die vollständige Investition auf — von der Bausubstanz über Platztechnik und Ausstattung bis hin zu Betriebskosten, Standortmieten und einer belastbaren 3-Jahres-Ergebnisprognose. Alle Zahlen basieren auf realen deutschen Marktdaten aus 2025/2026.

Warum liegen €930.000 und €1,9 Millionen so weit auseinander? Der größte Einzeltreiber ist der bauliche Aufwand. Wer eine bestehende Gewerbehalle — etwa einen ehemaligen Produktions- oder Logistikbau — kostengünstig anmieten und mit minimalem Umbau bespielen kann, landet am unteren Ende der Spanne. Wer dagegen auf grüner Wiese baut oder ein Gebäude von Grund auf saniert, zahlt entsprechend mehr.

Dazu kommt der Standortfaktor. In München oder Berlin kostet dasselbe Objekt in der Miete 40–60 % mehr als in Leipzig oder Kassel. Das drückt sich nicht nur in der laufenden OPEX aus, sondern auch in der Kaution und dem nötigen Working-Capital-Puffer — beides Teil der initialen CAPEX.

Ein Hinweis zur Mietstruktur: Viele Vermieter verlangen bei Hallenflächen eine Laufzeit von mindestens 5–10 Jahren, oft mit Verlängerungsoptionen. Das bindet Sie, schafft aber auch Planungssicherheit für die Finanzierung. Banken bewerten einen langen Mietvertrag mit festen Konditionen positiv.

Ein langfristiger Mietvertrag mit indexierter Staffelung ist für die Bank ein echtes Positivsignal — er macht aus unsicheren künftigen Einnahmen etwas, das im Kreditbescheid wie planbarer Cashflow aussieht.

Eine Padelhalle ist für die meisten Bankberater ein ungewohntes Investitionsobjekt. Was zählt, ist nicht die Begeisterung für Padel — sondern die Qualität Ihrer Zahlengrundlage.

Eine Padelhalle ist für die meisten Bankberater unbekanntes Terrain. Auslastungsquoten und Erlöse pro Court sind keine Größen, mit denen Kreditausschüsse täglich arbeiten — das ist Ihr Vorteil. Wer mit sauberen Zahlen und strukturierter Dokumentation ins Gespräch geht, fällt sofort positiv auf. Was den Kreditausschuss bewegt, ist nicht die Begeisterung für den Sport, sondern die Belastbarkeit der Unterlagen.

**Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) 1,2–1,5x:** Die Bank will sehen, dass Ihr operativer Cashflow den Schuldendienst mit einem Puffer von 20–50 % abdeckt. Mit einem EBITDA von €310.000 im ersten Jahr und einem Schuldendienst von €102.000 liegt der DSCR bei 3,0 — auf dem Papier sehr solide. Aber: Banken werden nachfragen, wie empfindlich dieses Ergebnis auf niedrigere Auslastung reagiert.
