Dalberger Hof is one of the most distinguished historic addresses in downtown Mainz. Located within a Baroque aristocratic palace dating from the early 18th century, this approximately 169 m² (1,819 sq ft) condominium combines sophisticated urban living with remarkable architectural heritage and an unusually private atmosphere.
The apartment's distinctive character is immediately defined by its generous proportions. Ceiling heights of approximately 3.7 meters (12 feet), elegant sightlines, and premium herringbone parquet flooring create a sense of grandeur that feels authentic rather than staged, arising naturally from the building's historic fabric.
The spacious living area forms the heart of the residence and opens onto an approximately 38 m² (409 sq ft) terrace. Within this historic ensemble, the private outdoor space represents an exceptionally rare amenity. A Molteni kitchen is discreetly integrated into the living area, offering both functionality and refined design.
A separate study or library, featuring an almost floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcase, provides an elegant retreat for work, reading, or quiet contemplation. The primary bedroom is situated at the opposite end of the apartment, creating a clear separation from the living spaces and ensuring a tranquil setting. An independent dressing room connects to the daylight-filled bathroom, together forming a well-conceived private suite.
A guest powder room and custom-built cabinetry throughout the hallways and rooms further emphasize the residence's clean and uncluttered aesthetic.
As part of a comprehensive restoration, the building's technical infrastructure was upgraded to modern standards while preserving its historic identity. District heating, underfloor heating, two underground parking spaces, and barrier-free access from the garage directly to the residential level combine historic character with a level of comfort rarely found in period properties.
The apartment is vacant and available for immediate occupancy.
The hereditary building lease (Erbbaurecht) was renewed in 2009 for a term of 198 years, leaving approximately 181 years remaining. The current annual ground lease payment amounts to €2,222. The exceptionally long remaining lease term provides a reliable long-term framework for a residence whose appeal is defined by its historic architecture, generous proportions, and uniquely sheltered setting.
Location
Regional Setting
Mainz, the capital of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, is one of the defining cities of the Rhine-Main metropolitan region. Roman heritage, the renowned Mainz Cathedral, the legacy of Johannes Gutenberg, a major university, a thriving media sector, and a celebrated wine culture together create a vibrant and culturally rich urban environment.
The city successfully balances history and modernity, offering historic streets, traditional wine taverns, architectural landmarks, and a lively calendar of cultural events. At the same time, Mainz enjoys excellent connectivity within the metropolitan region. Direct rail connections provide convenient access to Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, and Frankfurt Airport, while the city's public transportation network seamlessly links Mainz with the surrounding region.
Local Setting
Klarastraße is located in the historic center of Mainz. The Old Town, Mainz Cathedral, the weekly market, the Rhine promenade, restaurants, boutiques, and cultural venues are all within comfortable walking distance.
Dalberger Hof itself, constructed between 1715 and 1718, is a landmark Baroque ensemble and one of the most historically significant addresses in downtown Mainz. Its unique appeal lies in the contrast between vibrant urban surroundings and the privacy of its sheltered courtyard setting—centrally located, deeply connected to the city's cultural life, yet remarkably peaceful and secluded.
