RHYSLING
Your safe harbour on the High Rhine – in the heart of Europe
Living where the Rhy flows.
RHYSLING brings together high-quality residential ownership at one of the most extraordinary addresses in Europe: directly on the High Rhine, in Büsingen – Germany's only exclave, entirely surrounded by Switzerland. Eleven carefully designed freehold apartments, predominantly with direct Rhine views, generous terraces and the comfort of a modern residence.
The Project
Origin, terroir and quality
The name RHYSLING unites two worlds: «Rhy» – Alemannic for the Rhine – and the sound of Riesling, the finest grape variety of the Rhine. A name that sums up the project's promise: life by the water, in a prime location, to the highest standard.
The building ensemble combines contemporary new-build architecture with a carefully modernised existing structure to form a harmonious whole. Designed by Biehler Weith Associated of Konstanz, who also created the neighbouring new build «Milchzentrale» at Junkerstrasse 85, directly on the High Rhine.
From the compact 2.5-room apartment as a pied-à-terre to the spacious 5.5-room attic with optional conservatory – space for every stage of life and every requirement.

Büsingen's Special Status
Two legal and living environments – unique in Europe
German sovereign territory
Strong property protection – notarised, secured in the land register, protected by independent courts and transparent German law.
Swiss customs territory
Everyday life and infrastructure are closely linked to Switzerland. Shopping, doctor's visits, banking – in a Swiss setting, in Swiss francs.
No Lex Koller
On German soil the Swiss acquisition restrictions do not apply. Full ownership is open to buyers of all nationalities.
Quiet & safe on the Rhine
An ideal retreat for families – with access to first-class schools in both Switzerland and Germany.
Legal Certainty & Property Protection

Germany is among the most stable and transparent property markets in Europe. The German land register is one of the most reliable property registers in the world, with constitutive effect: whoever is entered in the register is the owner.
