A move between Berlin and Oranienburg calls for careful preparation, experience and reliable organisation. Lion Umzüge is based in Berlin and guides you professionally through every step of your move – from the first on-site survey to the handover at your new home. Clear agreements, care in packing and gentle handling of your furniture are at the heart of what we do.
So that you have to interrupt your everyday life as little as possible, we plan transparently and adapt the process to your needs. We are a Berlin company and provide our services for moves from or to Oranienburg; we do not present ourselves as a local moving company at the destination.
For your move: clear planning and reliable execution
Our approach
In the preliminary discussion, we determine your needs and clarify access conditions, delicate pieces of furniture and special wishes. On this basis, we create a realistic schedule so that everything runs in an orderly way on moving day.
Your individual process
Every household is different. We take your priorities into account and draw up a coordinated timetable for packing, transport and unloading. This way you avoid unnecessary stress and surprises.
Specific service sequence
- On-site survey and needs assessment in Berlin or via photos/video.
- Preparation of an individual quote and agreement on the moving date.
- Professional packing and protection of fragile items.
- Safe transport between Berlin and Oranienburg by trained teams.
- Unloading, furniture assembly on request and final handover.
Safe packing and transport
We use suitable materials and techniques to protect your furnishings during transport. Fragile items are given extra protection and labelled so that everything quickly finds its place again when unpacking.
Organisation and communication
Good communication is crucial for moves outside the city. You get a dedicated contact person in Berlin who coordinates appointments, answers questions and keeps you informed about the process. This way you always keep track.
Moving Berlin–Oranienburg: out into the countryside
Oranienburg lies north of Berlin in the district of Oberhavel, 30 to 45 kilometres away depending on the starting point. From Reinickendorf, Pankow or Wedding, the route via the B96 or the A111 and A10 is quickly driven. For us, a move to Oranienburg is therefore a typical regional move that is generally completed in one day – even for a larger household.
From a city flat to your own home
Many people moving to Oranienburg leave a rented flat in Berlin and move into a house with a garden or a larger flat. This has consequences for the move: in Berlin it often means up and down stairs without a lift, while at the destination it is at ground level or via a single staircase in the house. Garden tools, bicycles and cellar contents are added. We can assemble new furniture you have bought for the house straight away – more under assembly service Berlin.
Types of housing in Oranienburg
In the town centre around the palace there are apartment buildings and new builds; in districts such as Lehnitz, Sachsenhausen or Friedrichsthal, mainly detached and semi-detached houses. The streets there are usually wider than in Berlin, and parking problems are rarer. Nevertheless, it is worth clarifying in advance where the lorry can stop, especially in narrow residential streets or cul-de-sacs.
One move, two federal states
By moving to Oranienburg, you switch from Berlin to Brandenburg. Registration takes place within two weeks at the town’s Bürgeramt (citizens’ office). When you re-register your car, you get a new number plate, and schools and nurseries are run by different providers. Plan these points in good time.
Checklist for moving day
- Secure a parking restriction at the Berlin address
- Have keys for the new house and any garages ready
- Clean and gather garden furniture and equipment beforehand
- Arrange childcare and pet care for moving day
- Provide drinks and snacks for all helpers
We are happy to organise the parking restriction in Berlin, see parking restriction zone Berlin.
Costs
Because the route is short, the price depends mainly on the volume, the floors and the additional services. Guide values and explanations can be found under moving company Berlin costs. If you are moving north within Berlin, you can also read about our work as a moving company in Reinickendorf.
Commuting to Berlin
Many Oranienburg residents continue to work in Berlin. The S-Bahn runs directly into the city, and by car you take the B96 or the motorway. For moving day, we recommend taking time off – even though the route is short, a house move usually takes the whole day.
Garden house, shed and workshop
Anyone moving into a house often brings tools, garden equipment and materials that were previously kept in the cellar or at friends’. Sort these items beforehand, clean equipment and drain the petrol from the lawnmower and chainsaw. This way everything can be transported safely.
Oranienburg: moving to the Berlin surroundings with everything that goes with it
Oranienburg lies north of Berlin in the district of Oberhavel and is directly connected to the capital by S-Bahn. Many families move here because they are looking for more space, a garden and quieter surroundings without losing contact with the city. This page is about the particular features of such a move.
Registering at the Bürgeramt Oranienburg
After moving in, you register within two weeks at the Bürgeramt of the town of Oranienburg. If you move to one of the districts such as Lehnitz, Sachsenhausen or Germendorf, the town is also responsible. Anyone moving to a neighbouring municipality such as Hohen Neuendorf or Birkenwerder registers there. You have to re-register your car with the district of Oberhavel.
From an apartment building to your own home
A common move leads from a rented flat in Berlin to a house in Oranienburg. That means more rooms, a garden, often a garage. Much of the furniture that fitted in the flat is distributed differently in the house. Before the move, draw up a plan of which piece of furniture goes into which room and stick notes on the doors. This speeds up unloading considerably.
Parking restriction and access
In many residential areas in Oranienburg there is enough space, and a parking restriction is not always necessary. In the town centre around Bernauer Straße and Schlossplatz, things look different. If a parking restriction is needed, it is applied for with the town of Oranienburg. We clarify in advance whether it is required.
Note on unexploded ordnance in the ground
Oranienburg was heavily bombed in the Second World War, and unexploded bombs are still found regularly today. As a rule, this has no impact on your move. However, anyone buying a plot and wanting to build or dig should ask the town about the necessary certificate confirming the ground is clear of ordnance. During defusing operations, roads are sometimes closed at short notice. If this happens on your moving day, we adapt the process.
One day, short distances
The drive from Berlin to Oranienburg via the A111 or the B96 federal road usually takes half an hour to an hour. The move can easily be done in one day. The costs are similar to those of a move within the city and depend mainly on the volume and the additional services. You can read more about moves to the surrounding area on our page about the regional move.
Living on the Havel
Oranienburg lies on the Havel and Lake Lehnitz, with a palace park and plenty of nature in the surrounding area. By S-Bahn you can reach central Berlin in around an hour. Many families appreciate the mix of small-town life and proximity to the big city.
For commuters: the S1 S-Bahn line connects Oranienburg directly with central Berlin, and regional trains are even faster. If you need a car, look out for a parking space when searching for a home, as parking spaces in the town centre have now become scarcer here too.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
How does the survey work for a move from Berlin to Oranienburg?
The survey can take place in person in Berlin or alternatively via video/photos. We look at access, stairs, lifts and special pieces of furniture in order to estimate the workload realistically.
Do you also assemble furniture at the destination?
Yes, on request we carry out dismantling and assembly work as well as furnishing on site. Let us know when we prepare the quote so that we can plan accordingly.
How much does a move from Berlin to Oranienburg cost?
Oranienburg is only around 35 kilometres north of Berlin, so the distance hardly matters. The decisive factors are volume, floors and carrying distances – for houses in Lehnitz or Sachsenhausen often with a garden and garage. You receive a fixed price. Guide values under moving company Berlin costs.
How long does a move from Berlin to Oranienburg take?
Almost always one day. We manage even larger households in one go, because the drive via the B96 or the A111 takes hardly any time.
How much lead time do I need for a move from Berlin to Oranienburg?
Three to six weeks’ lead time is usually enough. For Oranienburg, we check in advance whether there is enough space for the lorry in front of the new house or whether a permit from the town is needed.
How are my belongings insured when moving from Berlin to Oranienburg?
On the short route to Oranienburg, the German Commercial Code (HGB) limits our liability to 620 euros for each cubic metre used. For heirlooms or a piano, we discuss additional insurance in advance.
Do I need a parking restriction zone when moving from Berlin to Oranienburg?
In Berlin mostly yes, in Oranienburg often not – detached houses often have a driveway or enough space at the roadside. We check both addresses. More on the Berlin application under parking restriction zone Berlin.
