Moving Company Berlin Hellersdorf

Moving company Berlin Hellersdorf – prefabricated blocks, detached houses and the city’s edge

Hellersdorf belongs to the district of Marzahn-Hellersdorf and was largely built in the 1980s as a large housing estate. Many flats are in five- to six-storey prefabricated blocks (Plattenbauten), plus eleven-storey buildings with lifts. To the south, in Kaulsdorf and Mahlsdorf, begins one of the largest areas of single-family homes in Berlin. The moves we plan here are correspondingly varied.

Prefabricated block without a lift

The lower prefabricated blocks generally have no lift. The stairs are straight, but the landings are tight. Long sofas and wardrobe units often have to be carried upright or dismantled. We factor the floor directly into our staff planning: a flat on the fifth floor needs more movers than one on the ground floor, even if the floor space is the same.

High-rise with a lift

In the taller buildings, the lift helps – if it is free. We talk to the housing company beforehand about whether it can be reserved for a few hours or fitted with protective mats. We measure large furniture to make sure it fits into the cabin. Otherwise we carry it via the stairs, and that has to be in the schedule.

Kaulsdorf and Mahlsdorf: house and garden

In the residential estates there are single-family homes from many decades, from small estate houses to new builds. Here it is all about the cellar, attic, garage and garden. The streets are quiet, but often narrow and not always paved. We check beforehand how close the van can get.

Checklist for your move in Hellersdorf

• Coordinate the use of the lift with the housing company
• Arrange the handover inspection of the old flat in good time
• Clear the cellar compartment and mention its contents during the survey
• Compare furniture dimensions with the rooms of the new flat
• For houses: check the driveway, gate and garden path

Costs and money-saving tips

The price is determined by volume, floor and distance. Because Hellersdorf is on the edge of the city, travel time is a factor for moves to the city centre – via the B1/B5 or Landsberger Allee, progress is slow in rush-hour traffic. You can save by doing some of the packing yourself, by sorting things out and by being flexible with the date. If you want to get rid of old furniture, you can hand it over to us directly for disposal. That way nothing extra needs to be organised.

Good to know: the U5 connects Hellersdorf directly with Alexanderplatz and the main station. That is why many of our customers go ahead by train on moving day while we load the van.

As a moving company in Berlin Hellersdorf, we also work in Marzahn and Lichtenberg. Guide prices can be found on the page Moving Company Berlin Costs.

Hellersdorf with children and large families

Many families live in Hellersdorf, often with several children. The large flats in the prefabricated blocks are attractive for these households, and the residential estates in Kaulsdorf and Mahlsdorf also attract families. A family move is different from a couple’s move: more belongings, more boxes and a daily routine that revolves around the children.

Moving during the holidays or on a school day?

Many families choose the school holidays for their move. This has advantages, because the children do not have to commute between school and stacks of boxes. However, the holidays are also the time when moving companies are in high demand. If you would like to move during the holidays, contact us as early as possible. A move on a school day can also work well: the children are at school or nursery during the day, and by the afternoon the children’s room has already been set up.

Pushchairs, loft beds and toy boxes

Typical furniture in family flats includes loft beds, bunk beds and children’s wardrobes with many individual parts. Photograph loft beds before dismantling them to make reassembly easier, and collect the screws in labelled bags. Toys can easily be packed into sturdy boxes with lids. On request, our team takes care of dismantling and reassembling all the furniture.

Routes to the U5 and parking in the courtyards

The residential buildings in Hellersdorf are often arranged around large courtyards with car parks. These parking areas usually belong to the housing association. Whether a removal van may stop there is regulated differently. Check this with your property management. If it is not possible, we apply for a no-parking zone on the nearest public street. For tenants without a car, the U5 is the most important connection to the city, and many deliberately move close to the Cottbusser Platz, Hellersdorf or Louis-Lewin-Straße stations.

What matters after moving in

After the move, register your children at a school or nursery if the catchment area changes. The new address must also be given to the Bürgeramt (citizens’ office), the Familienkasse (family benefits office) and your health insurer. Allow some time for this in the first few weeks. We take care of all the physical work so that your mind is free for these things.

For families with a baby or toddler, we also recommend organising childcare on moving day, for example with grandparents or friends. A moving day is noisy and full of activity, and open doors and stairwells are dangerous for small children. When the children come into their fully set-up room in the evening, the start in the new home is easier for everyone.

And if you are moving within the same residential block in Hellersdorf, for example from the third to the sixth floor, this can often be done without a large van. We then carry directly and use the lift, if there is one.

In Kaulsdorf-Nord and around the Hellersdorfer Promenade, there are also many ground-floor flats with a small tenant’s garden. You should gather garden furniture and planters from there before the move so that they are not forgotten.
