Tell us about your move
Where you are moving from and to, when, and roughly what is coming with you. It takes about two minutes, it costs nothing, and you are not committed to anything at the end of it.
Ulm lies on the Danube, directly opposite the Bavarian town of Neu-Ulm. A move between the two usually means only a short drive. As they belong to different states, though, you should also plan for registering at your new place of residence and for possible differences in public holidays.
Ulm is manageable, and much is close together: the old town around the Minster, the Weststadt, Söflingen and up on the Eselsberg the university. Opposite on the Danube lies Neu-Ulm, and the border between Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria runs through the middle of the river.
In the Fischerviertel, half-timbered houses stand on narrow lanes and canals, with tight stairs and little space outside the door. Access around the Minster is restricted too. Describe the location in your request so the company plans a suitable vehicle.
The Weststadt has many apartment blocks without lifts and densely parked streets; a no-parking zone from the city of Ulm often makes sense there. Söflingen has an old village centre with narrow streets. The Eselsberg has student halls and larger housing complexes, where lifts, floors and longer walks between the car park and the entrance can play a part in planning the move.
A move across the Danube is short but leads into another state. When you move across the state border, you register your new address with the registration office at your new place of residence, and some public holidays in Bavaria differ from Baden-Württemberg. Plan the date with both calendars in mind.
Ulm's low-emission zone was lifted in June 2024, at the same time as Neu-Ulm's; no sticker is needed on either side of the Danube any more.
Many moves go to Blaubeuren, Ehingen, Senden or along the A8 towards Stuttgart and Augsburg. Which jobs you can take on yourself to save money is set out in Saving on moving costs.
