A move requires good preparation. Here are some of our proven moving tips Berlin to help you keep track:
- Plan early: Start planning as early as possible. Create a checklist and a schedule.
- Declutter: Use the move as an opportunity to get rid of unnecessary clutter. Sell, donate or dispose of things you no longer need.

- Keep important documents separate: Keep important papers, such as tenancy agreements, ID and insurance documents, to hand in a separate bag.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I plan a move in Berlin?
We recommend starting to plan at least 6–8 weeks before the planned moving date, especially if you are moving in the high season or need special services. We are always available for moving tips Berlin and detailed planning.
Is my furniture insured during transport?
Yes, at Lion Umzüge Berlin your goods are insured during transport in accordance with the statutory provisions. We will be happy to inform you about additional insurance options.
Can I also book just a partial move?
Of course. Whether you only want to transport individual pieces of furniture or are planning a complete move – we adapt our services flexibly to your needs.
How can I apply for a no-parking zone for moving day?
We are happy to take care of that for you! As part of our service, we take care of applying for and setting up the no-parking zone so that the removal van can be positioned optimally.
Roughly how much does a move in Berlin cost?
For a two-room flat within Berlin, you should expect a few hundred euros, depending on the floor, carrying distances and additional services. Our tip: get a fixed-price quote after a survey. Guide prices by flat size can be found under Moving Company Berlin Costs.
Which moving tips are the most important?
Declutter early, apply for a no-parking zone in good time, label boxes by room, put heavy items in small boxes and pack a box with the essentials for the first evening. You will find the details on each point further up this page.
When should I hire the removal company?
Ideally six to eight weeks before the move, so that you can still get an appointment on your preferred date. If you are moving at the end of the month, you should enquire even earlier.
Moving tips that apply specifically to Berlin
A move in Berlin has its own pitfalls. Many of them you only get to know once you have stood with a wardrobe on the fourth floor of a pre-war building. Here is the advice we give our customers most often.
Measure the stairwell and archway
In late-19th-century buildings, staircases are often tightly winding, and the way into the rear courtyard leads through an archway. Measure the narrowest point in the stairwell and the height of the archway before you buy a large sofa or a new wardrobe. Some things can only be transported dismantled or through the window.
Get rid of bulky waste in good time
Anything that is not coming with you can be taken to a BSR recycling centre, or you can order a bulky waste collection. Both need some lead time. If you still have to clear out a whole flat shortly before the move, you can also hand the house clearance over to us.
Do not forget the cellar, loft and bicycle storage
Cellar compartments in Berlin apartment buildings are often fuller than expected. Go through them first, not last. Bicycles, prams and garden furniture from the courtyard also belong on the list.
Warn the neighbours
A short notice in the stairwell a few days beforehand works wonders. Then nobody is surprised by open front doors, and the neighbour might even voluntarily park their car in the side street.
Sort out parking for the removal van
In many Berlin neighbourhoods (Kieze), there is hardly a free space at the roadside, let alone for a lorry. If the van is parked far away, every box becomes a walk and the move takes considerably longer. So think early about where the vehicle can stop. Is there a driveway, a courtyard or a loading zone? If not, a no-parking zone is usually the better solution. During the survey, we will tell you what makes sense at your address.
On moving day itself
Keep your mobile phone charged and within reach in case the crew has a question. Stay in the old flat until the last item has been loaded, and go through all the rooms, cupboards and the cellar once more. At the new address, it helps if you stand at the door and say which box goes where. You will find more on preparation in our moving checklist.
