Germany has a strong prefab housing market, but not every prefab house is a modular home.
A modular home is built from factory-made room sections, often called modules or room modules. These modules are transported to the plot and connected on site. This is different from a classic panelized prefab house, where wall, floor and roof panels are produced in a factory and assembled on the building site.
For buyers, this difference matters. If you want a real modular home, you should check whether the company delivers complete room modules, smaller living modules, or only factory-made wall panels.
This article lists 10 notable modular home manufacturers and modular housing providers in Germany. It is not a strict ranking from best to worst. The right choice depends on your land, budget, design, size, delivery area and how much of the work you want the manufacturer to handle.
What to know before choosing a modular home in Germany
Before contacting manufacturers, check what is allowed on your land.
In Germany, a modular home is still normally treated as a building. The exact requirements can depend on the federal state, municipality, plot, building size, foundation, use and local development plan.
A small modular cabin, a garden office, a holiday home and a full-time residential house may not be treated the same way. Before ordering anything, speak with the local building authority, a local architect or another planning specialist.
You should also decide what type of modular home you want.
Some companies offer small living modules or tiny-house-style units. Others build larger family homes from multiple modules. Some focus on modern design homes, while others are better for practical residential projects, extensions or holiday accommodation.
10 notable modular home manufacturers in Germany
1. SchwörerHaus FlyingSpaces
SchwörerHaus is one of Germany’s established prefab house companies, and its FlyingSpaces line is one of the clearest modular home concepts in the German market.
FlyingSpaces are small, ready-to-use modular buildings. They can be used as mini houses, extensions, offices, holiday homes or combined module concepts. SchwörerHaus presents them as complete residential modules with a high level of factory preparation.
This can be useful for buyers who want a compact modular home from a large and experienced German prefab manufacturer.
2. BASE Modulhaus / Deutsche Hausmanufaktur
BASE Modulhaus is part of Deutsche Hausmanufaktur. The company presents BASE as a modular house concept produced largely in the group’s own “Raumfabrik” in Bavaria.
BASE can be interesting for buyers who want a more house-like modular system rather than only a small cabin. The concept is positioned around modern modular housing and factory preparation.
This may be a good company to compare if you want a modular home with a structured planning process and a German production background.
3. Hejmo Homes
Hejmo Homes builds modular homes in Germany using a combination of steel frame and timber panel elements. The company says its modules are equipped in a production hall and then transported to the building plot.
Hejmo Homes offers different sizes, from smaller homes to larger modular houses with several units. This makes it relevant for buyers who want something between a tiny home and a more complete modular residential house.
It is worth checking if you want a compact or medium-size modular home with a clear residential use case.
4. Home One
Home One offers design-led modular houses and cabins. The company presents House One as a modular single-family home and also offers smaller cabin products.
Its production information says cabins are produced in Germany and Austria, including production in Hessen through Modulhaus One. Home One is also connected to DFH Gruppe, one of Germany’s largest prefab housing groups.
Home One can be interesting for buyers who want a modern design product rather than a traditional-looking family house.
5. Balazs Modulhaus
Balazs Modulhaus offers the B/CUBE modular house concept. The company is based in Bavaria and presents its modular houses as made in Germany.
Balazs may be relevant for buyers looking for a compact but permanent modular home, not only a mobile tiny house. Its positioning is around efficient living, accessibility options and practical modular residential space.
This is a good example of a smaller specialist manufacturer focused directly on the modular house category.
6. MDL Haus
MDL Haus presents itself as a modular house provider from Germany and offers modern modular homes with room modules.
The company can be useful to compare if you are looking for a residential modular house with a contemporary look and a more direct “Modulhaus” offer.
As with all newer or smaller modular providers, buyers should check completed projects, exact scope, production location, warranty, transport and installation responsibilities before signing.
7. Ultra House
Ultra House GmbH is a German company focused on modular frame and wooden houses. Its materials describe planning and production of modular homes and frame houses for year-round use.
Ultra House can be relevant for buyers who want a modern modular wooden house with catalogue-style models and optional features.
Before going further, buyers should ask where the house is produced, what is included in the package, whether it fits German local building rules and how installation is handled.
8. Humanas Modulhaus
Humanas Modulhaus offers modular and prefab houses in Germany, with concepts ranging from bungalows to multi-family buildings.
The company may be useful for buyers who want a more traditional residential house form but still want factory-based construction and modular planning.
It is worth comparing if you are looking for a modular or prefabricated house provider in Germany with a broad residential offer rather than only micro-homes.
9. BAU ART
BAU ART offers tiny houses and modular houses for living and commercial use. The company also describes modular construction in solid wood.
BAU ART can be interesting for buyers who care about compact design, timber construction and small modular living formats.
This may be a better fit for smaller homes, guest units, holiday units or special residential concepts than for buyers looking for a large standard family house.
10. CoMod
CoMod is a modular house concept connected with The Colony from Düsseldorf and a collaboration with Holzbau Bodmer. It presents its modular houses as made in Germany, stackable and designed for circular use.
CoMod can be interesting for buyers or operators looking at modular homes, small residential units or flexible housing concepts.
Because it is more concept-driven than some traditional house manufacturers, buyers should carefully check availability, project examples, delivery scope and whether the system fits their local plot and permit situation.
Larger modular builders worth knowing
Some of Germany’s strongest modular construction companies are more focused on apartment buildings, schools, offices, healthcare or public-sector projects than private houses.
ALHO is one of the important German modular builders. It offers modular construction for several building types, including residential homes and multi-storey apartment buildings.
KLEUSBERG is another major modular construction company in Germany. It builds modular buildings for uses such as housing, student accommodation, offices, schools and healthcare.
GOLDBECK is also important in serial and systemized construction, including residential buildings. It is not a typical private modular home brand, but it matters in the wider German industrialized housing market.
These companies may be relevant for developers, municipalities, housing providers or investors. For a private buyer looking for one modular home, the smaller residential-focused brands may be easier to approach.
How to compare modular home manufacturers
Do not compare only the house image.
Ask each manufacturer what type of construction they actually use. Is it a real room-module system? Is it a panelized timber-frame house? Is it a mobile tiny house? Is it a hybrid system?
Then ask what is included in the price. Some offers may include only the building module. Others may include transport, crane work, installation, interior finishing, technical systems or planning support.
Also ask what is excluded. Foundations, permits, utility connections, groundworks, landscaping and local site preparation are often handled separately.
For a modular home, transport matters a lot. Large modules need access roads, loading space, crane access and careful route planning. A design that looks simple on a website may become difficult if the land is hard to reach.
What buyers should check before signing
Before choosing a modular home manufacturer in Germany, ask for completed projects.
Real photos, site examples and customer references are more useful than only renderings. If possible, visit a show home or factory. If that is not possible, ask for video calls, technical documents and a clear written specification.
Also check the legal and planning side early. A modular home still needs to fit the local development plan, building rules and plot conditions.
Before payment, make sure the contract clearly explains the house specification, payment stages, transport, installation, timeline, warranty, exclusions and who is responsible for each part of the project.
If escrow or another protected payment method is available, it may add more confidence. Escrow means money is held by a third party until agreed conditions are met. Availability depends on the provider, country, manufacturer and agreement.
How PrefabFind helps buyers
PrefabFind helps buyers compare prefab and modular home manufacturers in one place. This is useful because Germany has many different types of companies: traditional prefab house brands, modular home specialists, tiny house makers and larger modular construction firms.
For a buyer, the goal is not only to find the most famous company. The goal is to find a manufacturer that matches the land, budget, design, delivery route and level of service needed.
PrefabFind can be a starting point for comparing manufacturers before contacting them directly.
Conclusion
Germany has a growing number of modular home manufacturers and modular housing providers. SchwörerHaus FlyingSpaces, BASE Modulhaus, Hejmo Homes, Home One, Balazs Modulhaus, MDL Haus, Ultra House, Humanas Modulhaus, BAU ART and CoMod are all worth knowing when researching modular homes in Germany.
There is no single best company for every buyer. Some are better for small modules. Some are better for modern design homes. Some are better for larger residential projects. Others may be better for compact holiday homes or extensions.
The safest approach is to check your land first, compare several modular home manufacturers, ask what is included and make sure the full scope is written clearly before signing.
