Apollo and Wecken & Cie. put 90% stake in DEMIRE up for sale after years of portfolio adjustments and liquidity measures

AEPF III 15 Sarl, a fund vehicle managed by Apollo Global Management, and Wecken & Cie. have initiated a structured process to sell their combined stake of around 90 percent in DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG. The announcement was made on 8 June 2026 in Langen.

DEMIRE and the major shareholders are being advised by Rothschild & Co. The process is at an early stage. It is not yet clear whether a transaction will go ahead, or in what form. There are currently no plans to sell via the stock exchange.

The objective of the sale process is a new anchor investor with financial strength and a strategic contribution. In recent years, DEMIRE has adjusted its portfolio and implemented measures to secure liquidity and stabilise its financing structure. These included property sales as well as operational and financial measures to meet existing obligations, including loans and shareholder loans.

These steps form the basis for the current sale process.
