Which district suits families best?

Many families look in Görden or in the waterside localities such as Kirchmöser, where it is quieter and greener. If you want to live in a more urban setting, the Neustadt has flats in older buildings with short distances to the centre. Which location suits you depends on the school run, place of work and bus or tram connections – we check access and floor before the move.

Which districts does Brandenburg an der Havel have?

The core is formed by the three medieval town centres of Altstadt, Neustadt and Dom. In the 20th century, districts such as Görden and Hohenstücken were added in the north, and in the west lies Kirchmöser on the Plauer See; several localities such as Wust and Gollwitz also belong to the city. For the move, the access, floor and stairwell of the specific address matter most.

Is Brandenburg an der Havel well connected to Berlin?

Yes, Berlin is easy to reach via the A2 motorway and regional trains. From our base in Berlin-Moabit it is around 83 km by lorry via the A10 and A2, just over an hour's driving time. This proximity makes the city particularly attractive to commuters looking for housing outside Berlin who still want to get to the capital quickly.

How does a move into Brandenburg’s old town work?

Moves into the Altstadt, the Neustadt or onto the Cathedral Island need careful planning because of narrow streets and old stairwells. According to the city, the parking restriction application must be received at least 14 days beforehand; the signs go up three full days before the start. We plan the vehicle size, carrying distance and protection for stairwells and doors after the survey.

Does your company also offer long-distance moves to Brandenburg?

Yes, we plan moves from Berlin to Brandenburg an der Havel from our base at Stromstraße 21: around 83 km via the A10 and A2. The route is described on the page Moving Berlin – Brandenburg an der Havel ; other destinations can be found under Long-distance moves .

What makes Brandenburg an der Havel attractive as a place to live?

The combination of a historic townscape, lakes such as the Beetzsee and the Plauer See and the proximity to Berlin makes the city attractive. Water sports, cycle paths along the Havel and the three historic town centres shape everyday life. Many people also appreciate that distances are shorter and the pace is calmer than in the capital.

Are there student flats in Brandenburg an der Havel?

Yes, around the Technical University of Applied Sciences Brandenburg there are student flats and shared flats, many of them in the Neustadt and close to the city centre. Since 2014, future doctors have also been studying in the city at the Medical School Brandenburg. For small student moves, a shared load is often cheaper than a van of your own.

Can I also move from Brandenburg an der Havel to Berlin?

Yes, we plan the reverse route in the same way: survey, fixed price, loading in Brandenburg an der Havel and around 83 km via the A2 and A10 to Berlin. In Berlin we apply for the parking restriction at the district office (Bezirksamt), the signs go up 72 hours beforehand, and you register at the registration office (Bürgeramt) within two weeks.

How much does a shared load to Brandenburg an der Havel cost?

The cost of a shared load depends on volume and date; we quote the price after your enquiry. This option suits students or single people with few belongings. With only 83 km, a small dedicated transport often makes sense too – we will tell you which is cheaper. Enquiries on 01625978461.

What insurance applies to my move?

We are liable for damage to your belongings under the German Commercial Code: under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre of loading space required. Additional insurance cover is available for valuable items. Report externally visible damage no later than the day after delivery. Liability applies from loading until delivery at the new address.

How many days in advance do I apply for a parking restriction in Brandenburg an der Havel?

The city requires the application at least 14 days before the move begins. The signs must be put up and documented at least three full days before the start. So plan the application as soon as you set the date.

How much does a parking restriction for a move in Brandenburg an der Havel cost?

According to the city's service portal, the fee is €15.00 for up to two moving days under the fee regulations for road traffic measures. On top of this come the costs of the specialist company putting up the signs.

Who puts up the parking restriction signs?

The applicant obtains and puts up the signs, using a certified specialist company, for example one in the traffic safety sector. If you wish, we commission this signage for you.

How do I book bulky waste collection in Brandenburg an der Havel?

Bulky waste is collected on request, via the online request card or the hotline (03381) 32 37 37. On collection day it may only be put out by 7.00 a.m. on a street accessible to collection vehicles, and the items must be marked with your name.

When do I need to register after moving to Brandenburg an der Havel?

Registration of your new main residence is due within two weeks of moving in and is free of charge. It can be done at the citizens' service office or online with an ID card with the eID function.

Moving to Brandenburg an der Havel: cathedral, Havel and lakes

Guide

Unsere Firma comes from Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21) and drives around 83 km via the A10 and A2 to Brandenburg an der Havel.

With around 74,000 residents, Brandenburg an der Havel is the third-largest city in the state of Brandenburg and, by area, its largest independent city. The three medieval town centres – Altstadt, Neustadt and Dom – lie between arms of the Havel, surrounded by lakes such as the Plauer See and the Beetzsee. Since 2014 Brandenburg has been a university city, with the Technical University of Applied Sciences and the Medical School. If you are planning a move to Brandenburg an der Havel, allow early for the narrow streets of the historic centres and the parking restriction.

We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and drive around 83 km by lorry via the A10 and the A2 to Brandenburg an der Havel – just over an hour's driving time. Loading in Berlin and unloading on the Havel are therefore often possible on the same day. Whether you are moving from Berlin to Brandenburg or back to Berlin: we quote the fixed price after a survey. The route is described on the page Moving Berlin – Brandenburg an der Havel. If you are only taking a few pieces of furniture, a shared load is often cheaper. We build parking spaces at both addresses into the plan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about moving to Brandenburg an der Havel

Costs, districts, parking restrictions, bulky waste, registration and liability – answered briefly.

The cost of a move to Brandenburg an der Havel depends on the size of the flat, floor, access and extra services such as packing or furniture assembly – from Berlin it is around 83 km. Our guide prices by number of rooms and the price per kilometre can be found in the price overview on this page. With only 83 km, loading and unloading are often possible on the same day.

Districts of Brandenburg an der Havel at a glance

The three medieval town centres form the districts of Altstadt, Neustadt and Dom: cobbled streets, older buildings and the Cathedral Island with the Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul. There are charming flats here, but also narrow access routes, for which a parking restriction and enough movers should be planned. In the north lie Görden and Hohenstücken, with the Asklepios specialist hospital in Görden.

Further west lies Kirchmöser on the Plauer See, with an industrial harbour and the former Reichsbahn railway works; then there are localities such as Wust and Gollwitz. For the move, the specific address matters more than the district: an older building without a lift in the Neustadt needs different planning from a house in one of the waterside localities.

Employers, universities and quality of life

We do not give specific rents – they depend heavily on location and condition; compared with Berlin, Brandenburg an der Havel is considered cheaper. Major employers include the Riva Group's electric steelworks, mechanical engineering with ZF Friedrichshafen and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, and the University Hospital Brandenburg an der Havel. The Technical University of Applied Sciences Brandenburg (since 1992) and the Medical School Brandenburg (since 2014) bring students to the city.

Berlin is easy to reach via the A2 and regional trains, which is why many commuters move here. In Brandenburg an der Havel, quality of life means water above all: the Plauer See and Beetzsee, cycle paths along the Havel and water sports. Then there is the historic city centre with the cathedral, churches and town gates.

This is what a move really costs

Many customers wonder what a move costs. As a rule: the larger the flat, the greater the effort. For a 1-room flat we charge from €344, for 2 rooms from €615, for 3 rooms from €879 and for 4 rooms from €1,344. If you own a house or villa, we prepare an individual quote. For a long-distance move we calculate from €4.20/km. Arrange a free survey right away.

How your moving price is composed

Besides the volume of the furniture to be transported, the distance plays a major role – here we calculate from €4.20/km. The floor, lift and a possible parking restriction zone are also factored into the calculation. Extra services such as furniture assembly or a shared load can be added as options.

Parking restriction in Brandenburg an der Havel: application, deadline and fee

So that the removal van can stand right outside the front door on moving day, the City of Brandenburg an der Havel sets up a temporary parking restriction on application. The responsible office is the city's road traffic authority, located at the administrative building at Nicolaiplatz 30 and reachable on (03381) 58 32 90.

The signs carry the additional panels "moving date" and "moving time".
The applicant obtains and puts up the signs, using a certified specialist company. They must be put up and documented at least three full days before the start.

If you wish, we take care of this: we submit the application in good time, commission the signage and plan the loading date around the permit. How a parking restriction zone works in general is explained under Parking restriction zone for your move. Local details about our service can be found on the Brandenburg an der Havel location page.

Brandenburg an der Havel: registration, bulky waste and residents' parking after moving in
