What's included

From market to decision

Each section answers a concrete question an investor or operator asks before committing capital.

A market with no audited figure, on a shrinking demographic

There is no single number: it triangulates to ~€2–4bn from five non-additive angles. And the base is narrowing — 654,241 births in 2025, the lowest since 1946: growth will come from premiumisation, not more children.

The capacity engine, by format

The scarce resource isn't the square metre but the prime after-school classroom-hour (Mon–Fri 15:00–18:30 + Saturday). Economics by format: coding and languages scalable (8–10 children per tutor) vs. artisanal 1:1 music, with camps and birthdays monetising off-peak hours.

Where to open: the Speckgürtel arbitrage

The affluent family with children doesn't live downtown but in the suburban belt of house-and-garden. The format doesn't need a 1A-Lage: it lives off booked courses, not footfall. A ranking of targets (Königstein, Kronberg, Starnberg…) and the zones to avoid for saturation.

The regulatory-tax spine

Per-discipline USt (§4 Nr. 21: music/languages/coding exempt at 0% vs. swimming/riding/leisure at 19%), the 2028 Scheinselbständigkeit/Herrenberg time-bomb (§127 SGB IV expires 31 Dec 2027) and child protection (Führungszeugnis, Schutzkonzept).
