Gold price today in Germany (EUR)

Last updated: 10 July 2026

Prices are indicative and reflect the global exchange rate; they do not include making charges or local dealer margins.

How do we calculate these prices?

Prices on this page are calculated automatically from the global spot price of a gold ounce, converted to EUR using the European Central Bank’s reference exchange rates, then broken down per gram for each karat. Jeweller prices may differ slightly, as shops add making charges and a dealer margin.

Buying gold in Germany

Germany has one of Europe’s most developed markets for physical gold. Buyers typically turn to specialized precious-metal dealers such as Degussa and ProAurum, to banks that sell bars and coins over the counter or by order, and to established jewelers for ornamental pieces.

The tax treatment is the key distinction to understand: under EU rules, investment gold — bars and qualifying coins — is exempt from VAT, while gold jewelry carries VAT like other goods. This is one reason many savers in Germany prefer bars and coins when the goal is purely to store value.

In the German market, investment products are usually fine gold (999.9, equivalent to 24k), while jewelry is commonly stamped by fineness — 333, 585 or 750 — rather than by the karat labels familiar in Arab markets.

• Practical tip: always check the hallmark or ask for a certificate, and compare the dealer’s premium against the live spot price on this page before you pay.

Is buying gold in Germany tax-free?

What is the best way to buy gold in Germany?

The safest routes are established precious-metal dealers such as Degussa and ProAurum, or banks that sell gold bars and coins. Always check the hallmark or ask for a certificate, and compare the seller’s price with the live spot price shown on this page before paying.

Why do jewelry shop prices differ from the global gold price?

The global price refers to the spot ounce traded on financial markets, currently around €3,589.76. Retailers add a premium on top to cover fabrication, operating costs and profit, so shop prices are somewhat higher than spot, and premiums vary from one seller to another.
