Planning a new kitchen in Germany? Good call — but before you sign contracts and pick materials, it helps to understand:

  1. What the typical cost is

  2. What parts/components you’ll be talking about (in German)

  3. Some vocabulary to navigate the process confidently


🧮 Typical Costs in 2025

Here are current price ranges and what drives cost:

  • According to one kitchen-pricing guide, the average price for a new fitted kitchen in Germany in 2025 is about €10,000 to €12,000

  • In the budget range, simpler kitchens may cost between €3,000 – €7,000 depending on size, materials, and appliances. 

  • At the luxury end (custom layouts, premium materials, high-end appliances) the price can easily exceed €20,000 and go much higher. 

💡 What drives the cost?

  • Cabinets & fronts: ~ 40-50% of cost.

  • Delivery, installation, planning, customisation

📝 Planning tip
