How long does the removal lorry take from Berlin to Koblenz?

From our base on Stromstraße it is around 604 km via the A9, the A4, the A5 and the A3, finally on the A48. By lorry we allow about nine hours including the statutory break. For larger flats we therefore usually load the day before and unload the next morning in Koblenz . We set the exact schedule during the survey so that the key handover and the parking restriction fit together.

Which universities and colleges are there in Koblenz?

Koblenz has the University of Koblenz and Koblenz University of Applied Sciences with the RheinMoselCampus. For students with a small household, a part load is often worthwhile instead of a lorry of their own. Where you want to live depends on the campus, bus connections and budget – plan your search before the start of term. We then coordinate the transport with your move-in date and the start of lectures.

What makes the quality of life in Koblenz special?

Koblenz lies at the Deutsches Eck , where the Moselle flows into the Rhine, and forms the northern gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. The city celebrated its 2,000th anniversary in 1992 and is one of the oldest cities in Germany. You can reach the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress by cable car across the Rhine. For everyday life, however, location, bus connections and the commute to work matter most – focus your flat search on these.

How does a private move to Koblenz work with your company?

First we survey your Berlin flat or talk by video, after which you receive a written fixed price . On moving day we pack, load and drive around 604 km to Koblenz, where we reassemble the furniture. What is included in a private move is set out on our service page. You can add boxes, assembly or storage individually; what is included in the fixed price is stated in the quote.

Can I also move from Koblenz to Berlin?

Yes, we plan the reverse route in the same way: survey or video call, fixed price, loading in Koblenz and around 604 km via the A3, A5, A4 and A9 to Berlin. In Berlin we apply for the parking restriction at the district office (Bezirksamt), the signs are put up 72 hours beforehand, and you register at the citizens' office (Bürgeramt) within two weeks.

How much does a move to Koblenz cost on average?

The costs depend on volume, floor, access, additional services such as assembly or storage and the route of around 604 km. Our guide prices by number of rooms and the per-kilometre rate can be found further up. It becomes binding after a free survey: we then quote a fixed price , which only changes if you book additional services.

How do I get a parking restriction for moving day in Koblenz?

According to the Rhineland-Palatinate service description, you submit the application to the local road traffic authority at least 14 days in advance; the signs must be in place at least three days before the date. The City of Koblenz does not list a dedicated application form for removals on its official page – so we clarify the procedure early. More on the parking restriction zone .

Is a part load to Koblenz worthwhile for students?

Often, yes. With a part load , your shared-flat room travels with other consignments on the same route, and you only pay your share of the load space. In return, a time window applies instead of a fixed delivery day. At the start of term you should enquire early so that a trip towards the Rhine fits into your time window. For a fixed move-in day, a trip of your own is the safe choice.

How well are my furniture and belongings insured during the move?

For damage to your belongings we are liable under the German Commercial Code (HGB), under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre of load space. For antiques, art or a piano you can arrange additional insurance . We record visible damage together with you when unloading in Koblenz. Report hidden damage to us in writing no later than 14 days after delivery.

How early should I book bulky waste collection in Koblenz?

The City of Koblenz states at least three weeks' notice and points out that the waiting time can be several weeks. So book straight after giving notice on your old flat, so that the collection takes place before the handover. According to the city, items up to 1.70 m long and 40 kg are permitted. We handle larger clearances as house clearance .

How long do I have to register after moving to Koblenz?

Under § 17 of the Federal Registration Act it is two weeks from moving in. The deadline therefore does not only start on the day you get an appointment at the citizens' office.

Where and how do I book an appointment at the Koblenz citizens' office?

Online via the city's appointment portal or by phone via the public authority number 115. The citizens' office is at Gymnasialstraße 6. For urgent needs without a free appointment, the city gives the email address buergeramt@stadt.koblenz.de.

Do I need an appointment to register my address in Koblenz?

Not for electronic registration, which according to the city is possible without an appointment. Appearing in person, for example for a secondary residence or when moving from abroad, is done via the appointment booking.

How often is bulky waste collection free in Koblenz?

According to the City of Koblenz, private households get up to two free collections per year. Every further appointment is charged, as is commercial waste in every case.

What sizes and weights apply to bulky waste in Koblenz?

Single items may be no more than 1.70 metres long and weigh no more than 40 kilograms. Put metal parts and large electrical appliances out separately. Everything must be at the kerbside by 6 am on the collection day.

FROM BERLIN-MOABIT

From Berlin to Koblenz

Moving to Koblenz: between the Deutsches Eck and the Karthause

Guide

Unsere Firma comes from Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21) and drives around 604 km via the A9, A4, A5 and A3 to the Rhine and Moselle.

Koblenz lies at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle, the Deutsches Eck, and is the third-largest city in Rhineland-Palatinate after Mainz and Ludwigshafen. The city is divided into 30 districts: on the left bank of the Rhine, for example, the Altstadt (old town), Südliche Vorstadt, Lützel, Metternich and the Karthause on the heights; on the right bank, Ehrenbreitstein, Pfaffendorf and Horchheim. For your private move we clarify in advance whether it is an old-town lane, a hillside location or a housing block – access and floor determine the effort.

We come from Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and drive the lorry around 604 km via the A9, the A4, the A5 and the A3, with the last stretch on the A48; with a break that is about nine hours. That is why we often load larger flats the day before. We quote the fixed price after a survey, including for the return route from Koblenz to Berlin. More on the route under Moving Berlin – Koblenz. If the new flat is not yet available, we store your belongings in Berlin in the meantime and deliver on the agreed date.

FROM BERLIN

What we take care of when you move to Koblenz

Planning in Berlin, arrival at the Deutsches Eck

We do not have a branch in Koblenz but come with the lorry from Berlin-Moabit. That is why we ask about access, floor and stairwell in advance – whether a period building in the Südliche Vorstadt, a flat on the Karthause or a house in Güls on the Moselle. We pack, carry, transport and reassemble the furniture; we plan the parking restriction in front of the new address with enough lead time. We are liable for your belongings under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre, and additional insurance for valuables is possible. We coordinate the date with the handover of the flat.

Packing service

We pack crockery, books and electronics safely for the roughly 604 km and label every box by destination room in Koblenz with our packing service.

Office move

Offices and practices move to plan: dismantling and reassembly according to a fixed schedule, so that business in Koblenz carries on on Monday – with an office move.

Senior moves

If parents are moving to Koblenz to be near their children, we plan calm packing days and reassemble the furniture on arrival day in Koblenz – with a senior move.

Furniture transport

A piano, display cabinet or antique travels padded and strapped down over the whole route and arrives safely in Koblenz – with furniture transport.

WELL PREPARED

Well planned to Koblenz

We quote the fixed price for your move to Koblenz after the survey – packing, transport, parking restriction and assembly are listed as separate items. Whether old town or hilltop district, the route of around 604 km is included.

Arrival time set

With around 9 hours of lorry driving, we fix the loading and arrival times in advance so that you can arrange the handover in Koblenz with certainty.

Access sorted

Whether Altstadt, Lützel or Karthause: we ask about the floor, lift and stairs in advance – so there are enough carriers for your move in Koblenz.

Parking zone in good time

We plan the parking restriction in front of the new address in good time according to the city's requirements, so that the removal van in Koblenz stands close to the building.

Planned backwards

We plan from moving-in day: notice in Berlin, packing dates, parking restriction and the journey timed to the handover in Koblenz – so nothing is left undone in the last week.

Storage to bridge a gap

If the flat in Koblenz is not yet free, we store your belongings in Berlin and deliver on the new date – as a separate item in the fixed price.

Registration in view

After moving in, you register at the citizens' office (Bürgeramt) within two weeks – the deadline runs from the day you move in in Koblenz.

FOR SMALL LOADS

Part load: move affordably

Combine cleverly, move for less

For smaller volumes or single items, a part load (Beiladung) to Koblenz can be cheaper: your belongings share the load space with other consignments on the route via the A9, A4, A5 and A3 towards the Rhine. In return, a time window applies instead of a fixed date; we clarify whether a trip fits when you enquire.

All
about moving to Koblenz

Stress-free from A to B

This guide answers the questions that come up before a move to Koblenz: which districts are there on the left and right banks of the Rhine, how long does the drive from Berlin take, where do you register and how does bulky waste collection work before you move out? The information on the citizens' office and bulky waste comes from the City of Koblenz; we calculate the route and driving time from our base at Stromstraße 21. Prices by size of home can be found further down.

Planning back from moving-in day

Notice in Berlin, packing dates, parking restriction and registration at the citizens' office within two weeks: with a plan worked backwards from moving-in day, your private move, senior move or student move to Koblenz stays manageable – even over around 604 km.

Furniture, boxes and access

With our packing service, careful furniture transport and access sorted in advance, furniture reaches even period buildings or narrow streets in Koblenz without long carrying distances – whether Altstadt, Lützel or Karthause.

Costs and special cases

The costs are determined by volume, floor and the route of around 604 km; for small volumes a part load lowers the price. We build storage or an office move to Koblenz into the fixed price.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about moving to Koblenz

Districts, route, registration, bulky waste, parking restriction and liability – answered in brief.

On the left bank of the Rhine lie, among others, the Altstadt, Südliche Vorstadt, Goldgrube, Rauental, Moselweiß and the Karthause, and north of the Moselle Lützel, Neuendorf, Wallersheim and Kesselheim; Metternich and Güls on the Moselle are added to these. On the right bank of the Rhine lie Ehrenbreitstein, Pfaffendorf, Horchheim, Niederberg, Arenberg and Asterstein. For a move to Koblenz, access, floor and hillside location matter most: in the Altstadt the lanes are narrow, while on the Karthause and the heights it is uphill.

The 30 districts of Koblenz at a glance

Koblenz is divided into 30 districts, nine of which form eight local districts with their own local council. On the left bank of the Rhine lie the Altstadt at the Deutsches Eck, the Südliche Vorstadt, Goldgrube, Rauental and Moselweiß, and north of the Moselle Lützel, Neuendorf, Wallersheim and Kesselheim. The Karthause lies on the heights above the city, with Metternich and Güls with Bisholder on the Moselle. On the right bank of the Rhine come Ehrenbreitstein below the fortress, Pfaffendorf, Horchheim, Niederberg and Arenberg; a cable car links the Rhine promenade with the fortress. For the move, the location matters more than the name: old-town lanes, hillside locations and housing blocks each require different planning. If you are moving with children, also look at the route to school and bus connections; commuters should look at the links to the A48 and A61. Places with their own pages can be found under Locations.

Authorities, universities and work in Koblenz

Koblenz is home to many public authorities: the Federal Archives, the State Main Archive, the Constitutional Court of Rhineland-Palatinate, the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support and the Bundeswehr Central Hospital. In addition there are the University of Koblenz and the RheinMoselCampus of Koblenz University of Applied Sciences. If you are moving for a job or a course of study, you should look for a flat early; we do not quote specific rents because they depend heavily on location and condition. For transport from Berlin, enquire about our private move in good time so that your preferred date fits the handover. Notice in Berlin, parking restriction, registration at the citizens' office and bulky waste are best planned backwards from moving-in day; the City of Koblenz's deadlines are listed further down. If needed, we store furniture in Berlin until the flat is ready to move into.

Moving costs for every household size

Our price scale is simple: 1-room flat from €354, 2-room flat from €579, 3-room flat from €909, 4-room flat from €1,329. For a house or a villa we are happy to prepare an individual quote. For a long-distance move we charge from €4.20/km. Take advantage of a free survey now.

Calculating moving costs: what matters

The calculation is based primarily on volume and distance (from €4.20/km). Then come the floor, the lift and, if required, a parking restriction zone (Halteverbotszone). If you also need furniture assembly or a part load, you should say so early on.

Registering in Koblenz: citizens' office, booking an appointment and the online route

Anyone moving to Koblenz must register within two weeks of moving in under § 17 of the Federal Registration Act (BMG). The responsible office is the City of Koblenz citizens' office (Bürgeramt) at Gymnasialstraße 6, 56068 Koblenz.

Appointment: book online via the city's appointment portal or by phone via the public authority number 115 (according to the city, Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm) or +49 261 129 7200. If you cannot find a free appointment, you can report urgent cases by email to [email protected].
Online: according to the city, you do not need an appointment for electronic registration of your address.
Opening hours: according to the city's website, Mondays 8 am to 12:30 pm and 1:30 to 3 pm, Tuesdays 8 am to 12:30 pm, Wednesdays 1 to 5:30 pm, Thursdays and Fridays 8 am to 12:30 pm. Over the 2026/27 turn of the year, the citizens' office is closed from 24.12.2026 to 03.01.2027.
Special cases: for registering a secondary residence or when moving from abroad, the city refers you to the appointment booking.

Exactly which documents are required is described by the city on its e-government registration page. Clarify this before your appointment and request the landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung) early. Tips on settling in are collected in our living guide for Koblenz, and our services for Koblenz are shown on the Koblenz location page.

Bulky waste in Koblenz: collection via the municipal service

Before moving out of your old flat, it is worth booking a bulky waste collection. The City of Koblenz sets out fixed rules for this.

Booking: book at least three weeks in advance, by phone on 0261 129-4545, by email to [email protected] or via the municipal service's online form. According to the city, the waiting time can be several weeks.
Costs: according to the city, private households can use up to two free collections per year; further appointments cost extra. Commercial waste is always charged.
Size and weight: items may be no more than 1.70 metres long and weigh no more than 40 kilograms.
Putting it out: place everything at the kerbside by 6 am on the collection day. You may put it out from 7 pm the evening before. Metal parts and large electrical appliances are kept separate from the rest of the bulky waste.

When booking, state what is to be collected, and do not add any of your neighbours' items. Because of the possible waiting time, plan the appointment early so that the collection takes place before the flat handover. For larger clearances that go beyond bulky waste, we offer house clearance and household liquidation. The city has a separate official page for the road traffic authority. It does not mention an application procedure for removal parking restrictions there. So discuss the need for a parking restriction zone with us early on.
