Moving to Ingolstadt: Costs Process & Districts

Ingolstadt is divided into twelve districts: Mitte, Nordwest, Nordost, Südost, Südwest, West, Etting, Oberhaunstadt, Mailing, Süd, Friedrichshofen-Hollerstauden and Münchener Straße. Below them are numerous sub-districts and localities such as Gerolfing, Haunwöhr, Hundszell or Dünzlau, some of which were formerly separate villages.

The old town in the Mitte district has largely been preserved, with narrow streets, residents' parking and short-stay parking zones. Outside it, housing estates, terraced and detached houses predominate. For the move, the specific address therefore matters: we clarify floor, stairwell and space for the lorry during the survey. Our private move service adapts to this.

Audi, together with its suppliers, is of great economic importance for Ingolstadt and the region; many firms are based in the freight village in the north-west. You can study at the Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt and at the Faculty of Business and Economics of the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. We do not quote specific rents – they depend heavily on location and condition.

The Danube and the Klenzepark, created for the 1992 State Garden Show around the old fortifications, offer recreation. The Bavarian Army Museum shows its collection in the New Castle. If you are arriving at the start of a semester or a new job, you should set the moving day early: according to the city, the parking restriction needs seven working days' lead time. Long routes from Berlin can be found under Long-distance moves.

What does a move really cost? Basically, the costs depend on the size of the flat: we move a 1-room flat from as little as €349, for 2 rooms prices start at €609, for 3 rooms from €879 and for 4 rooms from €1,299. For houses or villas we always prepare an individual quote. If you are moving further away, long-distance moves cost from €4.25 per kilometre. It is best to arrange a free survey straight away to receive an exact quote.

We calculate the price based on volume, distance (from €4.25/km), floor and lift. An organised parking restriction zone makes loading and unloading easier. Also available to book: furniture assembly and part loads.

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 Ingolstadt or into the surrounding area if planning from Berlin works out.

In Ingolstadt, the Office for Traffic Management and Geoinformation (residents' parking) is responsible for parking restrictions for moves: Ludwigstraße 34 (entrance Hallstraße), 85049 Ingolstadt. According to the city of Ingolstadt, the application must be made at least seven working days before work begins. The signs must be in place at least 96 hours in advance, and late applications cannot be considered. Private individuals and companies each use their own online application. In urgent cases the city asks you to call in person, which requires an appointment.

The legal basis is important: official traffic signs are only valid if the city, as the traffic authority, has approved them (§ 46 (1) StVO). According to the city, you can borrow the signs from the Office for Building Management at the municipal depot (Bauhof) for a hire fee. For the permit, the city charges an administrative fee that depends on the location of the street and the duration of the signage; it does not give specific amounts on the page.

The office answers questions on 0841 305-2333 or 0841 305-2334 and by e-mail at [email protected]. On our page about the parking restriction zone you can see how we support you with the planning. Calculate the date backwards from moving day: seven working days for the application plus the 96 hours during which the signs must already be in place add up to a realistic lead time of a good two weeks.

According to the city, the streets in Ingolstadt's old town are either paid short-stay parking or reserved for residents during the day. If you want to load furniture there, clarify the exemption permit for moving and deliveries with the Office for Traffic Management and Geoinformation in advance and plan the access to the new address precisely. Especially in historically grown streets: the earlier you know where the lorry may stand and how far the carrying distance to the front door is, the more reliably the moving day can be calculated.

You register at the Citizens' Office, Registration and Passport Department (Bürgeramt, Bereich Melde- und Passwesen) in the New Town Hall, Rathausplatz 4, 85049 Ingolstadt. According to the city, visits are by appointment, made by telephone (0841 305-1500), e-mail ([email protected]) or online. Four procedures are available online: residence registration, notification of a change of main residence, residence deregistration and submission of the landlord confirmation.

Under § 17 of the Federal Registration Act, the registration deadline is two weeks after moving in. Your landlord issues the landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung); under § 19 of the Federal Registration Act, the landlord is obliged to cooperate. It is best to get this confirmation when the keys are handed over, and book the appointment at the citizens' office or the online procedure in the week of the move.
