Make your dream of owning your own island a reality:
A unique ensemble of three buildings on an idyllic island in the heart of Kenzingen's Old Town.
This property is a true rarity – whatever you choose to use it for:
• As an exclusive private retreat • As a multi-generational property • For the immediate continued operation of the hotel and restaurant • For setting up a Michelin-starred restaurant • As an event venue • As a training centre with accommodation • For converting the hotel rooms into accommodation for tradespeople • Or a combination of restaurant and private use
A true rarity is for sale near Freiburg: An entire island in the middle of the Elz in Kenzingen, featuring a charming hotel complex with a restaurant, steakhouse, beer garden and event room.
The restaurant – the former municipal slaughterhouse, built around 1903, was lovingly renovated down to its core in 2013 and impresses with its blend of modern and rustic style. The sanitary facilities were also renovated and are a real feast for the eyes. An owner's apartment (2.5 rooms – currently rented) and several offices and staff rooms are located on the upper floor. Underfloor heating is installed on the ground floor.
The beer garden, a highlight right beside the Elz, is very popular and has space for up to 200 guests. The existing steakhouse (approx. 65 sqm), with 2 cold rooms, a kitchen and a bar, allows for quick service in addition to the restaurant's large commercial kitchen.
The residential building currently used as a hotel was completed in 2006 and has a 3-star rating (DEHOGA). The fittings are well maintained – a plus: all rooms have marble floors and are therefore allergy-friendly. There are 12 hotel rooms and 2 fully equipped holiday apartments.
The 2,123 sqm island offers not only a unique opportunity to own your own island, but also combines proximity to nature and seclusion with excellent accessibility, on the edge of Kenzingen's Old Town.
The island's only access is via a solid bridge (up to 7.5 t). This makes complete seclusion with 100% privacy possible, if desired. The bridge is owned by the city – so there are no maintenance costs!
100% flood-proof: water levels regulated by a weir in Riegel

Location details
This island is an incomparable place—it combines the best of two worlds: seclusion and unspoilt nature, combined with proximity to the city. With a plot area of 2.123 sqm, it offers ample space for extensions or individual concepts for use.
This island is not just a property, but a rarity, unrivalled in its form and location. The natural boundary formed by the River Elz creates exclusive privacy of a kind that few places can offer. At the same time, the island is in the heart of Kenzingen—easy to reach, yet a protected world of its own.
The region around Kenzingen is highly sought-after thanks to its proximity to Europa-Park, the Kaiserstuhl wine region and the Black Forest. The railway station is a 5-minute walk away. The combination of tourist appeal and a unique plot makes this property a sustainable investment with a secure future.
An island like this—an oasis in the heart of nature—is more than just a plot of land; it is an experience and offers its future owner almost unlimited possibilities.
