Moving in Nuremberg

In Nuremberg a move often turns on access: in the old town many lanes are narrow and some areas are pedestrian zones. In densely built districts such as the Südstadt or Gostenhof it can be hard to find a suitable spot for the removal van. Comparing quotes early lets you plan around the local conditions too.

Nuremberg has two faces. Inside the city wall lies the old town with cobblestones, narrow lanes and the steep way up to the castle. Outside are dense residential districts such as the Südstadt, Gostenhof or St. Johannis, and on the edge large estates such as Langwasser.

The old town inside the wall

In the old town many streets are narrow, some steep, and part of it is a pedestrian zone where deliveries are allowed only at certain times. Not every address can be reached by lorry. Clarify early how and when the removal van may drive in, and describe the location in your request. In Advent, when the Christmas market fills the Hauptmarkt, the centre gets even tighter.

Südstadt, Gostenhof and St. Johannis

Parts of the Südstadt, Gostenhof and St. Johannis have older apartment buildings without a lift. Narrow stairwells and limited parking can make a move more involved. If the removal van cannot stop nearby, it is worth looking into a temporary no-parking zone; it is applied for at the city of Nuremberg. With narrow stairwells, a furniture lift can be a solution where local conditions allow it.

Langwasser and the estates on the edge

In Langwasser and other large estates, the lift and the walk through the estate often matter more than parking. Ask the property manager whether it has to be booked, and give the times in your request.

Fürth, Erlangen and the region

Nuremberg, Fürth and Erlangen are so close together that many moves happen between the three cities. Companies from the whole region work here. There can be delays on the Frankenschnellweg in rush hour, so allow enough driving time. How to compare quotes that include different services fairly is explained in Comparing moving company quotes.

Moving in Nuremberg: the usual questions

Not everywhere. Some lanes are too narrow, and the pedestrian zone may only be entered at certain times. Clarify access early and describe the location in your request.

Usually yes, as parking there is scarce. It is applied for at the city of Nuremberg; many moving companies take care of it.

In the centre, often yes: during the Christmas market it is busier around the Hauptmarkt. If you can, move into the old town at another time.

Yes, most of them drive across the whole metropolitan region. Every firm whose area takes in your Nuremberg move-out address is asked.

There is no one figure, which is the reason this page exists. The price turns on the distance, the floor, whether a lift is involved and how much is coming with you — and moving companies weigh those differently. Asking several movers covering Nuremberg at once is the only way to see the spread for your own move, and it costs nothing.

Four to six weeks is comfortable, and the end of a month is the busy part everywhere, Nuremberg included. If your date is fixed and close, say so in the request: a company that cannot make it will tell you quickly, which is worth knowing early.

Yes. Each company sets the area it covers, and your request reaches the ones whose area includes your move-out address in Nuremberg — whether you are moving across town or to the other end of the country.
