Moving to Halberstadt: Costs Process & Districts

In addition to the town centre, Halberstadt comprises seven districts with their own local councils: Aspenstedt, Athenstedt, Emersleben, Klein Quenstedt, Langenstein, Sargstedt and the chess village of Ströbeck. Other localities include Wehrstedt, the Klussiedlung and the Sargstedter Siedlung; Böhnshausen and Mahndorf belong to the locality of Langenstein.

In the town centre, the cathedral, St Martin's Church and half-timbering shape the northern old town around the Voigtei; much else was rebuilt after 1945. The outlying districts, by contrast, mostly have detached houses and old farmhouses, some of them half-timbered as in Langenstein. For the move, the specific address is what counts: we clarify staircase width, floor and parking space during the survey. Our private move service adapts to it.

Halberstadt is the largest town in the Harz district and, because of the many roads that converge here, is also called the "Gateway to the Harz". The town is a supra-regional railway hub and lies on the B 79, B 81 and B 245 federal roads. The Harz University of Applied Sciences has its Department of Administrative Sciences here, housed among other places in the former cathedral grammar school. We do not quote specific rents – they depend heavily on location and condition.

From the 9th century until 1648 Halberstadt was a bishop's seat, as the cathedral and cathedral treasury bear witness. As a balance to town life, the Spiegelsberge hills and the Huy are right on the doorstep. If you are arriving for the start of a semester or a new job, fix the moving day early, because according to the town the parking restriction signs must be in place four days beforehand. Long routes from Berlin can be found under Long-distance moves.

For long-distance moves a price from €4.20/km applies. Arrange your free survey for an individual quote.

To estimate the moving price correctly, we look at the volume, the distance (from €4.20/km), the floor and lift, and any parking restriction zone that may be needed. Additional services such as furniture assembly and part loads round off our offer.

You can book these services for your move to Halberstadt individually or together.

1. Furniture transport: Furniture transport as the basic service.
2. Move with assembly: Move with assembly as a complete package.
3. Part load: Part load for small budgets.
4. Private move: Private move for private households.
5. Company relocation: Company relocation for businesses.
6. House clearance: House clearance to prepare for the move.

We plan moves from Berlin (Stromstraße 21) for private and business customers. In the locations overview you will find places with their own pages, and details of long routes under Long-distance moves. We also move you within Halberstadt or into the surrounding area if planning from Berlin works out.

In Halberstadt you apply to the town for the parking restriction for your move. According to the town of Halberstadt's website, you can apply for a limited no-stopping zone under § 45 StVO on municipal roads and other public roads within the town for the duration of a move. It makes loading and unloading in front of the old and the new flat easier. The road traffic department is responsible. Applicants can be removal companies or private individuals.

• Deadline: the application must be submitted no later than two weeks before the move begins. The traffic signs must be in place four days before the move.
• Fee: the town states 15.00 euros per traffic order.
• Signage: a signage company puts up and removes the signs at your own expense. Only official traffic signs may be used, and the company needs a certificate under ZTV-SA 97/MVAS 99.
• Access: the application is completed and submitted online in the service portal. According to the town, this requires a free BundID account, which you can create when logging in.

You may not reserve parking spaces yourself without a permit, for example with wheelie bins, barrier tape or cones. Other road users do not have to respect such barriers. So plan the deadline backwards from moving day: first the application, then the order, then the signs. More about access can be found on the page Parking restriction zone.

Waste disposal in Halberstadt is the responsibility of the Harz district's waste management company (enwi), Braunschweiger Straße 87/88 in Halberstadt, telephone 03941 6880-0. According to enwi, the standard collection of bulky waste is free of charge. A maximum of 10 m³ of loose waste is collected per booking. Collection takes place within three weeks of receipt of the booking, and the date is sent by reply card.

• Booking: with the card from the enwi waste calendar, via enwi's online form service or by phone on 0 39 43 - 56 07 38.
• Express: according to enwi, express collection costs 104.17 euros per collection, can only be ordered by phone and takes place within two working days (Monday to Friday). Payment is made in advance to enwi or in cash to the collection crew; without payment there is no collection.
• Containers: no containers are provided; collection is carried out with collection vehicles.
• Dropping off yourself: at enwi's recycling centres, drop-off of up to 2 m³ per delivery and day is free of charge.

If you are clearing out before the move, book early so that the date fits the flat handover. If you would like a complete clearance, you will find information on house clearance; tips on settling in are in the guide Living in Halberstadt.
