In North Rhine-Westphalia, from 75 hectares of contiguous land usable for agriculture, forestry or fishing in single ownership. Smaller areas belong to the communal hunting district.

Who buys private hunting districts?

Passionate hunters, families and investors, often from other German states or from abroad. The pool is small and is approached in a targeted way.

Which documents are required?

Land register, cadastral maps, proof of area, information on stock and game, hunting facilities, hunting leases and cull planning.

In short

When does land qualify as a private hunting district (Eigenjagd)?

Under the Federal Hunting Act from 75 contiguous hectares of agricultural, forestry or fishery land owned by one person or community; some federal states deviate from this. The hunting right is then tied to ownership and increases the value of the land considerably.

What matters

What gives a private hunting district its value

A private hunting district (Eigenjagd) is rare and is traded accordingly. Besides area and stand, what counts are game species and game population, hunting facilities such as high seats, feeding sites and paths, the game damage situation, neighbouring hunting grounds and whether the hunting is exercised by the owner or leased out. A hunting lodge or hunting cabin significantly increases the value for private buyers.
