Arriving in Falkensee: A Green Town on Berlin's Edge
Living in the Havelland
Falkensee, in the east of the Havelland district, borders directly on Berlin-Spandau and, with around 45,000 inhabitants, is the largest town in the district. The name is an invented word made from the two villages of Falkenhagen and Seegefeld, which were merged into one municipality in 1923. Many newcomers come from Berlin, continue to commute into the city and value the detached-house estates, the woods and the Falkenhagener See lake. This guide shows what comes up in the first weeks: registration at the Bürgeramt, districts, rail connections and parking.
From our location at Stromstraße 21 in Berlin-Moabit it is only around 20 km to Falkensee, about half an hour by lorry – a local move, not a long-distance move. Whether a house in Finkenkrug, a flat near the station or a detached house in Falkenhagen: we plan the home removal at a fixed price after a survey and usually complete it in one day. Read more about moves to the town on the page Moves in Falkensee.

Small Transport to Falkensee
If you are only bringing a few pieces of furniture or one room from Berlin to Falkensee, you do not need a large removal van. A shared load or a small transport is then often cheaper; for this you need some flexibility on the date. We clarify on the phone what suits your volume – with a route of around 20 km, it is usually quick.
What
comes after moving in
After moving into Falkensee, according to the town you register within two weeks at the Bürgeramt (registration office) at Poststraße 31; registration and re-registration are free of charge, and appointments are only given in exceptional cases. If you come from Berlin, you do not need to deregister there separately. Online, the town offers pre-registration of your arrival. After that come nursery or school, re-registering your car and waste. You get around by Regional Express and regional train: according to the town, the RE takes 15 minutes to Berlin central station. By car you take the A10 or Heerstraße. What the town states is set out in the sections below.

Questions and Answers About Living in Falkensee
Falkenhagen, Seegefeld, Finkenkrug – the Districts
Falkensee was created in 1923 from the villages of Falkenhagen and Seegefeld; later estates added Finkenkrug, Falkenhöh, Falkenhain and Waldheim. There are also residential localities such as Alter Finkenkrug, Damsbrück and Finkenherd. In the east and south, the built-up area merges seamlessly into Berlin-Spandau and Dallgow-Döberitz.
In the north lies the Falkenhagener See, the largest lake in the town. Falkensee is characterised by villa and owner-occupied housing estates that grew up around the stations on the Hamburg railway line; with almost 1,000 inhabitants per km², the town is nevertheless one of the most densely populated in Brandenburg. For the southern residential areas of Seegefeld and Finkenkrug, Dallgow-Döberitz station is not far away.
Commuting, Work and Leisure
Many Falkensee residents work in Berlin. Falkensee station is on the Hamburg railway line; the Regional Express and the regional trains RB 10 and RB 14 run via Spandau to the central station, and the nearest ICE stop is Berlin-Spandau. The S-Bahn only ran to Falkensee from 1951 to 1961. Locally, the economy is shaped by small and medium-sized businesses; the largest company is a logistics centre at Seegefeld station in the Süd business park. There are ten state schools in the town.
In your free time there is the Falkenhagener See, the surrounding woods, the Museum und Galerie Falkensee and festivals in the Gutspark such as the summer cinema night. We do not give specific rents without a reliable source.

Registering in Falkensee: Bürgeramt Poststraße, Deadline and Documents
According to the town of Falkensee, anyone moving to Falkensee must register within two weeks of moving in; this also applies to moves within the town. Registration and re-registration are free of charge. Deregistration is only necessary if you move abroad or give up a secondary residence, and is also free of charge.
The responsible office is the registration authority in the Bürgeramt, Poststraße 31, 14612 Falkensee (tel. 03322 281150). Opening hours: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 9 am to 6 pm, Wednesday and Friday 9 am to 1 pm. In addition, the registration authority is open on the second Saturday of the month from 9 am to 12 noon. The town only gives appointments in exceptional cases. For registration you need:
- an identity document (ID card, passport or child's passport); without ID, present your birth certificate,
- the landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung), which according to the town speeds up processing and can be downloaded from falkensee.de,
- a power of attorney if someone represents you.
Families can register together; one family member presents all the identity documents. The town also offers online pre-registration for moves within the town and arrivals. You can apply for a registration certificate later online without visiting in person; according to the town it costs 6.00 euros. Further planning help for moving to the Berlin suburbs can be found in our guide to moving to Falkensee.
Transport Links and Parking in Falkensee: Trains, A10 and the Removal Van
According to the town, Falkensee lies directly on the Berlin city boundary, between the western Berlin ring motorway and the borough of Spandau. For commuters and for the removal van's approach, two connections matter most:
- Motorway: the town names the Berlin-Spandau junction of the A10 as well as the Falkensee and Brieselang junctions. According to the town, the B5/Heerstraße, Brunsbütteler Damm and Falkenseer Chaussee/Nonnendammallee lead into central Berlin.
- Rail: Regional Express and regional train lines serve Falkensee. According to the town, the RE takes 15 minutes from Falkensee station to Berlin central station. The town links to timetable information from VBB, ODEG, Deutsche Bahn and Havelbus.
On parking, the town refers to § 12 of the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) and the Ordnungsamt. Parking is only permitted on the right-hand edge of the road and in the direction of travel; pavements, cycle lanes and central reservations are off limits, and sufficient road width must remain. Emergency routes must be kept clear at all times. Where there are advisory pedestrian strips, you should park on the opposite side of the street if possible.
Whether a parking restriction is possible outside your front door on moving day can be checked in good time with the Ordnungsamt in the Bürgeramt (Poststraße 31, tel. 03322 281300). Read more about the process on our page on the parking restriction zone; more on moves to the town can be found under Moving in Falkensee.
