Erlangen is a university city, a business location and known for its cycling. Whether you are moving into the historic centre, into student halls or into a newer residential area: depending on the address, access, parking and carrying distances can vary.
The city is shaped by the Friedrich-Alexander University and by companies from research and industry. While the centre stands out for its baroque town planning, districts such as Röthelheimpark and Büchenbach offer different kinds of housing. Comparing several moving companies makes it easier to judge suitable services and prices.
The baroque Neustadt is shaped by its regular street layout. In the Altstadt and other parts of the centre, older buildings, limited stopping space and pedestrian areas can make a move more difficult. In older apartment buildings, narrow staircases or missing lifts make moving larger furniture more demanding. Pedestrian areas may have their own access rules; check them before moving day. A temporary no-stopping zone keeps a space free for the moving vehicle close to the entrance, and when loading and unloading you should watch out for the busy cycle traffic.
In the Röthelheimpark, Büchenbach and other residential areas there are different types of building – from apartment blocks to terraced houses. Before the move, check whether there is a lift and how far from the entrance the vehicle can stop. Mention both in your request.
As a university town, Erlangen sees many people move home around the start of lectures in spring and autumn. If you are moving into a room in a shared flat or in student halls, clarify early which furniture and belongings need to be transported.
During the Bergkirchweih around Whitsun, there can be more traffic and restrictions, particularly around the Burgberg. If you are moving nearby, check in good time whether the building can be reached.
Erlangen, Fürth and Nuremberg are close together, and many moves go between the three cities or to Herzogenaurach, Baiersdorf and Uttenreuth. Companies from the whole metropolitan region work here. What to look out for when choosing is explained in our guide to spotting a reputable moving company.
