Our services on site
You receive support with private and smaller commercial moves. Our services include packing, professional transport, careful handling of fragile items and assembly work at the destination. Everything is tailored to your individual needs.
How your move works
Transparent processes and a clear structure ensure that at every point it is clear what happens next. Typical steps are:
- On-site survey and detailed consultation to agree on your wishes.
- Preparation of an individual quote with a precise overview of services.
- Preparation: packing, protecting furniture and sensitive items.
- Transport with safe loading and space management in the vehicle.
- Unloading, furniture assembly and proper placement at the destination.
- Final inspection and a short debrief so that any open points are clarified.
Practical tips for a stress-free move
Adapt your preparation to your needs: sort things out early, label boxes by room and priority, and have a small emergency box ready with important personal items. Measures like these make settling into your new home considerably quicker.

How we support you in practice
Before the move, we clarify access, parking options and any special requirements. On moving day, we work in a structured way so that loading and unloading run efficiently. On request, we take care of furniture assembly and simple connection work so that you can settle in step by step.
Moving company Berlin Pankow – from Florakiez to Buch
The district of Pankow is large and very varied. In the old village centre around Breite Straße and the Florakiez there are period buildings and urban villas, in Niederschönhausen quiet residential streets with houses and greenery, in Weißensee a mix of old and new buildings, and in Buch and Französisch Buchholz many detached houses. Prenzlauer Berg is also part of the district – we have a separate page for it.
Urban villa, period building and new-build estate
In the period buildings around Garbatyplatz, the routes are similar to those in the city centre: stairwell, courtyard, often no lift. In Niederschönhausen and Buchholz, on the other hand, there are houses with gardens, garages and cellars. In the newer residential areas on the outskirts there are wide streets and parking spaces, but the journeys into the city centre are longer. That is why we plan the time required according to the actual route and not on a flat-rate basis.
Parking and access
Along Berliner Straße, Schulstraße and Breite Straße it is tight, partly because of the tram. A no-parking zone is worthwhile here. In the areas with detached houses, the driveway is often enough – provided it is wide enough for a lorry and the gate can be opened fully. We check this in advance.

The most common pitfalls in Pankow
With houses, it is the garage, shed and attic – that is often where things are stored that nobody had on their list during the initial planning. With new builds, it is house rules with fixed moving times and delicate floors in the stairwell. We protect hallways and lifts and keep to the times specified by the property management.

What a move in Pankow costs – and how you can save
In Pankow, the differences lie mainly in the type of housing. A house with a cellar, garage and garden means more volume and more carrying than a three-room flat with a lift. During the survey, we look at all the rooms and estimate the volume realistically. This way you get a fixed price that also applies on moving day.
You save the most if you declutter before the move. Houses in particular accumulate a lot over the years. Anything that is no longer needed can be taken away straight away as part of a house clearance. Doing some of the work yourself also helps: packing boxes yourself, preparing garden tools, taking down lamps. And a date during the week is often easier to get than the last Saturday of the month.

Pankow between the city centre and Barnim – moves with a family focus
In terms of area, Pankow is one of Berlin’s largest districts, stretching from densely built-up old neighbourhoods to the fields outside Buch and Blankenfelde. Many people move here because they are looking for more space with children and still want to be in the city centre quickly. Accordingly, we often handle family moves where children’s rooms, toys and a full cellar are the focus.
Around Breite Straße and Bürgerpark
In Pankow’s old village centre, on Breite Straße and around the Bürgerpark, period buildings, urban villas and post-war buildings stand side by side. Breite Straße itself is a main traffic artery with trams and buses. A removal van cannot simply stop at the roadside there. If you live in a side street, it is usually easier, but you should plan for a no-parking zone there too. We look at the situation on site and suggest the best parking spot.
Französisch Buchholz, Rosenthal and Blankenburg
In the northern neighbourhoods, many families live in detached, semi-detached or terraced houses built in recent decades. Here it is less about narrow stairs and more about sheer volume: garden play equipment, bicycles, garden furniture, a trampoline that has to be dismantled. Include such items in the survey. You should either dismantle trampolines and swing frames yourself beforehand or tell us that you would like us to do it. Then we will bring suitable tools.
Children’s room: last to be cleared, first to be set up
For children, a move is exciting and sometimes frightening. A tried-and-tested approach: the children’s room is the last to be cleared in the old flat and the first to be set up in the new one. That way, by the evening of moving day there is already a familiar place with their own bed and favourite things. We arrange the loading sequence accordingly if you tell us during the planning.
Many Pankow families move within the district, for example from the Florakiez to Niederschönhausen or from Weißensee to Heinersdorf. For such short distances, a move in two stages is sometimes worthwhile: boxes and small items the day before, furniture on the actual moving day. We will advise you on which option suits your schedule and budget.
A word about Heinersdorf and Karow: new flats and terraced houses are still being built there. In new buildings, the house rules are often strict, and lifts must be lined with protective mats for moves. Check with the property management beforehand, and there will be no discussion on moving day.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
How do I best prepare my flat for the move in Pankow?
Start decluttering early and pack room by room. Label boxes by room and contents – this makes targeted unloading easier and saves time when unpacking.
What should be ready on moving day?
Keep a personal emergency box with important documents and everyday items close at hand. Also make sure that access routes are kept clear and let us know about any special access conditions so that we can plan the day in the best possible way.
How much does a move in Berlin-Pankow cost?
A period flat in the Florakiez, a detached house in Französisch Buchholz or a flat in Buch – the effort involved varies greatly. The decisive factors are volume, floor and additional services. Guide prices are given on moving company Berlin costs.
Do I need a no-parking zone in Pankow?
Around Breite Straße and in the Florakiez, usually yes. In Niederschönhausen or Rosenthal, your own driveway is often enough. We clarify this during the survey and apply for the zone if necessary – find out more under no-parking zone Berlin.
