Moving in Regensburg

Regensburg's old town is a World Heritage site, and that is exactly what makes a move there demanding: medieval lanes, cobbles and restricted access. Comparing early helps you find a company that knows the old town.

Regensburg lies on the Danube, and its old town with towers and lanes is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Germany. Around it are districts such as Kumpfmühl, the Westenviertel or the Galgenberg near the university, and across the Danube Stadtamhof and Steinweg.

Moving in the old town

Many lanes in the old town are narrow and cobbled, much of it is pedestrianised, and vehicle access is restricted. A removal van cannot get into every lane, and some houses have narrow, winding stairs. Clarify early with the city whether and when the vehicle may drive in, and describe the location in your request.

Moving in Kumpfmühl, the Westenviertel and the Galgenberg

Kumpfmühl and the Westenviertel have older apartment buildings, some without a lift. Depending on the building, narrow stairwells and longer carrying distances can make a move harder. The Galgenberg and the area around the university have many small flats and halls of residence. You apply for a no-parking zone at the city of Regensburg in good time.

The low-emission zone in Regensburg

Regensburg has a low-emission zone around the old town. Before the move, check whether the vehicle being used meets the requirements and needs an emissions sticker.

Students and the start of term

With the university and the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule, Regensburg is an important place to study. Around the start of term, demand for moves and transport services can rise.

For a move into a room in a shared flat, the work depends on whether only boxes and personal belongings or furniture as well have to be moved. Describe the size of the move as precisely as you can so the companies can make suitable quotes.

Across the Danube and into the surrounding area

Many moves go to Neutraubling, Lappersdorf, Pentling or further to Straubing and Kelheim. For moves between districts on either side of the Danube, the bridges can matter a great deal. Allow for possible delays in rush hour when planning the drive. What you do yourself and what the firm does is easy to weigh up with Moving company services at a glance.

Moving in Regensburg: the usual questions

Only to a limited extent. Much of it is pedestrianised, and many lanes are too narrow. Clarify access with the city in good time and describe the location in your request.

That depends on how much there is: for a few boxes a van with one or two helpers can be enough, with furniture it takes more. Say precisely in your request what is coming.

In narrow streets, often yes. You apply at the city of Regensburg; many moving companies handle the application if 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 Regensburg 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, Regensburg 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 Regensburg — whether you are moving across town or to the other end of the country.
