Living in Hallein: Districts Rents & the Meldezettel

Hallein is divided into nine districts: Adneter Riedl, Au, Bad Dürrnberg, Burgfried, Gamp, Gries, Hallein, Neualm and Taxach. The old town lies on the Salzach; opposite is the Pernerinsel with the Old Salt Works, where the Salzburg Festival also performs. Gries has the junction for the A10 Tauern motorway, and Burgfried an S-Bahn stop.

Bad Dürrnberg lies above the town on the salt mountain, where the salt mine can now be visited as a show mine. Other well-known localities are Rif, home to the University and State Sports Centre Salzburg, and Rehhof. For old-town lanes and hillside locations we plan vehicle size and team in advance so that the carrying distance stays short. Which district suits you depends mainly on your commute and transport connections.

Companies based in Hallein include the pulp producer AustroCel, Robert Bosch GmbH, the machine builder Emco, Erdal, the Hofbräu Kaltenhausen brewery – the oldest in the state of Salzburg – and the Landesklinik Hallein hospital. Many commute to Salzburg: by regional express or the S3 it takes 15 to 20 minutes. Hallein is known as a school town with 18 schools, including the HTBL technical college, which grew out of the first vocational school of the monarchy (1871).

For leisure there is the Celtic Museum, the salt mine as a show mine, the Silent Night Museum and the Tauern cycle path, which runs through the town. In Rif, the Salt Trade Route branches off towards Bad Reichenhall. There are five municipal and five private kindergartens. We do not quote specific rents because we have no reliable current source.

How much will my move cost? We are happy to answer this question directly: we move 1-room flats from €359, 2-room flats from €589, 3-room flats from €884 and 4-room flats from €1,269. If you live in a house or villa, you receive an individual quote from us, as the effort varies greatly. If you need to go further, we charge long-distance moves from €3.95 per kilometre. It is best to clarify all the details during a free survey.

The price of your move depends largely on the volume of your household goods, the distance (from €3.95/km) and the floor and whether there is a lift. A required parking restriction zone can also affect the total cost. Additional services such as furniture assembly or a shared load are charged separately.

If you move to Hallein, you register your new residence with a Meldezettel (registration form). According to the registration office of the municipality of Hallein, the deadline is three days after taking up residence, i.e. after actually moving in. The responsible office is the town office at Schöndorferplatz 14, 5400 Hallein.

You must bring the completed registration form and your passport or ID card. The form carries two original signatures: your own as the person required to register (bottom right) and that of the accommodation provider (bottom left). According to the registration office, a tenancy agreement does not replace the landlord's signature. If you move into your own property, you sign both fields yourself.

• Opening hours: Monday 8:00–12:00 and 16:00–18:00, Tuesday to Friday 8:00–12:00
• Phone: +43 6245 8988 0, email: [email protected]

The town also refers to online registration with ID Austria via oesterreich.gv.at. According to oesterreich.gv.at, this route requires that you have already been registered in Austria at some point. So if you come from Germany, the first time you go to the office with the paper form. It is best to have your landlord sign the form at the key handover. More on the process in our article Moving to Austria: customs, formalities and process.

After moving in, you will have boxes and old furniture to get rid of. The municipality of Hallein lists four recycling collection points: Gamp (Pingitzzerkai 8), Rehhof (Schloßallee 70b), Rif (Rifer Hauptstraße 21) and the municipal depot (Neualmerstraße 21). The town provides information on +43 6245 8988 300 (depot: 330) or by email at [email protected]. The overview page does not give opening hours, lists of accepted items or rules on bulky waste. So ask before you go.

You will find your collection dates in the town's waste calendar: you select the calendar, locality, street and house number and can download the dates as a PDF, CSV or calendar export.

For parking, the town names Halleiner Parkgaragen GmbH at Griesmeisterplatz 8 (phone +43 6245 83654, Monday to Saturday 9:00–11:00; the page does not say whether this applies to the office or the car parks). Tariffs are on halleiner-parkgaragen.at. Check access and a parking space for the removal van in advance. We have not found any specific guidance on the town's website for reserving a space outside the building for a move. Clarify this early with the town office.
