Which German celebrities live on Mallorca?

On the trail of celebrities on Mallorca. Who lives where? Who visits the island regularly? Who stays where? Here is an overview of the most famous stars and starlets that you will often meet on the streets of the island or in cafés. You might even be able to get an autograph or a selfie. Good luck!

Promis auf Mallorca — Mallorca is the favourite island of many celebrities.

Why is Mallorca so popular with German and international celebrities? Even the composer Frédéric Chopin and the French writer Jules Verne loved coming to the island. And Sissi, the famous Empress Elisabeth of Austria, also spent many summers on Mallorca. In the 1950s, American Hollywood stars such as John Wayne and Audrey Hepburn discovered the Balearic Islands as a retreat from Papparazi. They were followed by European starlets.

Mallorca is particularly popular with German celebrities because of its good flight connections. Thanks to the highly frequented flight network, they can get to Mallorca faster than to Sylt. They can also easily reach almost all German airports within two hours. This also makes a weekend trip to Mallorca worthwhile. The celebrity density is particularly high in the south-west of the island, in Port d`Andratx and Santa Ponsa.

Hollywood has also been scouting the Mediterranean island for a long time and has had a number of film stars flock here. The spring of 2023 belonged to Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman. Both actors came to Mallorca for filming and savoured the island life. In the German community, the Goodby Germany emigrants in particular regularly make a name for themselves.

These German singers are permanent guests on Mallorca:

Musiker

Georgina Fleur, DJ Ötzi

German celebrities are particularly popular on the Ballermann in high season. These include Bachelor contestant Georgina Fleur, Big Brother starlet Micaela Schäfer, DSDS contestants Anna-Maria Zimmermann and Norman Langen, cult singer DJ Ötzi, dirndl queen Antonia aus Tirol and party singer Tim Toupet.

Dieter Bohlen

Pop titan Dieter Bohlen owns a property on the east coast of Mallorca, in Cala Ratjada. He loves the island's proximity to Germany. One of his favourite places is the small fishing village of Deià in the north-east of the island.

Peter Maffay

Rock singer Peter Maffay has a farm shop and bakery on Mallorca and is also a winegrower and organic farmer. With his Peter Maffay Foundation, he is primarily involved in social projects: he takes traumatised children and young people into his finca near Pollensa, where they can receive free therapeutic treatment.

Costa Cordalis

Pop singer Costa Cordalis spent most of the year with his family on Mallorca, more precisely in Santa Ponsa. He even had his own recording studio in his finca. Together with his son Lukas, he performed at parties on the Ballermann in summer - the singer died in Santa Ponsa in 2019.

Jürgen Drews

Singer Jürgen Drews entered the Spanish catering industry in 2011: he runs the cult bistro "King of Mallorca" in the west of the island, in Santa Ponsa, not far from the famous Café Katzenberger. He also performs his hits "Ich bau dir ein Schloss" and "Ein Bett im Kornfeld" at the Ballermann during the high season.

Helene Fischer & Florian Silbereisen

Pop singer Helene Fischer and folk music presenter Florian Silbereisen have also bought one of Mallorca's villas together and spend their free time under the Spanish sun.

Reinhard Fendrich

Singer Reinhard Fendrich is often spotted on the island. The Austrian first had a finca in Sóller, then bought a property near Artà.

Daniel Küblböck

Daniel Küblböck (Deutschland sucht den Superstar & Ich bin ein Star - holt mich hier raus) lived in Berlin and Mallorca. Küblböck has been lost at sea since 9 September 2018 after jumping overboard from a cruise ship off the coast of Newfoundland at around 4 a.m.

These German TV stars are permanent guests on Mallorca:

Santanyi — The island's bays also exert a magical attraction on the celebrities.

Claudia Schiffer

Claudia Schiffer owns a finca above the Golf de Andratx golf course in Camp de Mar. She spent many summers on the island as a child.

Til Schweiger

In 2013, actor Til Schweiger bought a villa in the north of Palma in Establiments, with a terrace and great views of the Tramuntana mountains. Allegedly, a large stalactite cave is also part of the property. Til Schweiger's direct neighbour is the former professional cyclist and Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich, who moved to the island in August 2016 and has been in the headlines again, particularly recently, due to a dispute with his neighbour.

Tim Mälzer

Celebrity chef Tim Mälzer lives alternately on Mallorca and in Hamburg. He loves Mallorca's cuisine and enjoys shopping at Spanish weekly markets. There he finds fresh ingredients for his dishes.
TV starlet Daniela Katzenberger used to run the well-known Café Katzenberger in Santa Ponsa. The decor of the café matched her style: pink, with a cosmetics corner. The café was well frequented and popular with Mallorca's regulars - nevertheless it was closed.

Jörg Dahlmann

Sports reporter Jörg Dahlmann lives with his family in Portals Nous, to the west of Palma. He appreciates the fast flight connection from Palma to Germany and often commutes back and forth.

Esther Schweins, Frank Elsner & Sabine Christiansen

Actress Esther Schw eins has moved to Mallorca with her daughter Mina Stella, as has TV presenter Sabine Christiansen. TV show host Frank Elsner also owns a property near Pollenca.

Uwe Ochsenknecht & Martin Semmelrogge

Actor Uwe Ochsenknecht lives on Mallorca with his wife Kiki Viebrock and runs the music bar Sa Cova in Santanyi. Actor Martin Semmelrogge (from Das Boot, among others) has also lived on the island for many years.

Thomas Gottschalk, Heino & Howard Carpendale

Mallorca's celebrities also include singer Loona, show legend Heino, singer Howard Carpendale and crystal heiress Fiona Swarovski. Presenter Thomas Gottschalk is also an avowed Mallorca fan and has the summer show of "Wetten, dass..." held on the island every year.

Danni Büchner

Danni Büchner - the wife of the well-known Mallorca emigrant Jens Büchner, who died in 2018, runs the "Faneteria" café in Cala Millor on Mallorca. In January 2020, the mother of five temporarily moved to Australia for the "jungle camp". In the 14th season of the cult programme "I'm a star, get me out of here", she battled with other celebrities for the jungle crown - and was eliminated shortly before the final in third place.

Boris Becker

Boris Becker bought a finca near Artà in 1997 for around 500,000 euros. The finca has its own tennis court where Boris Becker regularly played tennis. Two years later, construction was halted because parts of the buildings had been erected illegally. In 2003, the diggers moved in and parts of the new buildings were demolished again. Becker then renovated everything at great expense because he wanted to celebrate his housewarming party at the finca in 2006. Then the global financial crisis intervened. Becker lost interest in the property, repeatedly failed to pay his outstanding bills and was only able to stave off a forced sale at the last minute. The finca and outbuildings fell into disrepair.

The Danish actor has bought a flat in the trendy Santa Catalina district and is therefore in good company - the neighbourhood is extremely popular with Scandinavians.
