Moving Company Berlin Tempelhof

Moving company Berlin Tempelhof – from apartment buildings to terraced houses

Tempelhof is more varied than many people think. Along Tempelhofer Damm there are apartment buildings from various decades, while in Neu-Tempelhof around Tempelhofer Feld there are estates with small terraced and detached houses from the 1920s and 1930s. Further south, in Mariendorf and Lichtenrade, it becomes even greener. The moves we handle here vary just as much.

Terraced houses and estates: different routes, different volumes

In the estate houses, the stairs are narrow and steep, the cellars are often full and so are the lofts. On the other hand, the van can usually park right in front of the garden gate. Here we allow more time for the cellar and loft, protect stairs and door frames and clarify in advance what will be stored, taken along or disposed of. Garden furniture, tools and bicycles go into separate loads so that nothing that belongs in the shed ends up in the living room of your new home.

Apartment buildings on Tempelhofer Damm

On the main roads things look different: heavy traffic, bus lanes, hardly any free parking spaces. Here a no-parking zone is usually the best solution. Some of the post-war buildings have lifts, which we coordinate in advance with the property management. For period buildings without a lift, we factor the floors directly into our staff planning.

Who moves with us in Tempelhof

• Families moving from the city centre to a terraced house in Neu-Tempelhof or Mariendorf
• Heirs clearing out their parents’ house and bringing some of it into their own home
• Tenants moving to a larger or smaller flat within the district
• Small businesses from the commercial areas around the Teltow Canal

House handover without stress

When a house is sold or handed over to new tenants, it has to be empty and usually broom-clean. We can combine the move and the clearance: first everything you want to keep comes along, then we clear the rest. This saves you a second appointment. Details on clearance can be found on our Flat Clearance Berlin page.

The most common pitfalls in Tempelhof

In the estate houses, the cellar stairs are often so narrow that large chests, freezers or workbenches can only be brought out with difficulty. We check this during the survey and bring carrying straps if necessary. Another point is the garden: planters full of soil, paving slabs or firewood are heavy and need space in the van. Please tell us about such items in advance so that volume and weight are correct. And remember the meter readings for electricity, gas and water – a house often has more of them than a rented flat.

Mariendorf, Lichtenrade and the Neu-Tempelhof garden city

As well as Tempelhof itself, the district includes Mariendorf, Marienfelde and Lichtenrade. This means very different types of housing in a small area: the listed garden city with its terraced houses, apartment buildings along Mariendorfer Damm, large estates such as in Marienfelde and many detached houses in Lichtenrade. Anyone moving here needs a moving company that is familiar with all of this.

Terraced houses in the garden city

The small houses of the Neu-Tempelhof garden city have steep, narrow stairs to the upper floor. Large furniture such as wardrobes or box-spring beds can often only be taken up there dismantled, or not at all. Many residents have adapted their furnishings to the house over the years. When moving out, it is therefore worth taking a look: which of it fits into the new home, and what was bought only for this house? Some of it often quickly finds new owners via classified ads.

Lichtenrade on the edge of the city

In Lichtenrade the plots are larger, and the houses have garages, sheds and lofts. A lot accumulates there over the years. Anyone moving out of a house in Lichtenrade should definitely show us the outbuildings during the survey. Garden furniture, tools, lawnmowers and firewood change the volume of a move considerably. For things that are not coming along, we offer a clearance. The drive into the city centre via Mariendorfer Damm or the B96 takes considerably longer depending on the time of day, and we plan for this.

Large estates in Marienfelde

The residential complexes in Marienfelde usually have a lift, but also long routes from the car park to the building entrance. It helps if we are allowed to park the van as close to the entrance as possible. Ask the housing association whether fire service access routes may be used briefly or whether there is a delivery area. We follow the rules on site.

Whichever part of the district you live in: an appointment arranged early and a survey in advance make moving day calmer. As a moving company in Berlin, we are happy to come to your home for this and take a calm look at everything.

Tempelhofer Feld and weekend traffic

On warm weekends there is a lot going on around Tempelhofer Feld. The streets on the edge of the field, such as Oderstraße or Columbiadamm, are then full of visitors and parked cars. If your flat is nearby, we recommend moving on a weekday or starting early on Saturday. A no-parking zone is almost always necessary here. The signs must be put up in good time beforehand to be valid; we can take care of this for you on request.
