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

From our base in Stromstraße it is around 856 km via Passau and the Pyhrn motorway. By lorry we allow about 13 hours including breaks – considerably more than one day's driving time. That is why we drive with two drivers or stay overnight; with loading and unloading we plan two to three days. If you have any questions, you can reach us on 01625978461.

Are there no-stopping zones for the removal van in Leoben's old town?

For using public roads, the town of Leoben names a permit for special use; for the Hauptplatz and Kirchplatz the City Management is responsible. The town does not name a separate application for moves, so we clarify the stopping place early with the department for building and road law. More on the parking restriction zone .

Can I also move from Leoben to Berlin?

Yes, we plan the reverse route in exactly the same way: a survey or video call, a fixed price, loading in Leoben and around 856 km via the Pyhrn and Passau to Berlin. In Leoben you deregister within three days and register in Berlin at the citizens' office (Bürgeramt) within two weeks.

Which employers are there in Leoben for skilled workers?

Major employers are the voestalpine plant in Donawitz, the Montanuniversität, the district authorities and courts, as well as retail and healthcare. If you are moving for a job, we coordinate the moving date with your start of work and, if needed, store your furniture temporarily in Berlin. All services appear in the fixed price as separate items.

Is Leoben a good town for students?

The Montanuniversität shapes the town's student life. For students with a small household, a part load is often cheaper than a lorry of their own; in return a time window applies instead of a fixed delivery day. Enquire early before the start of semester so that a trip towards Styria fits. If the new flat is not yet free, we store your furniture temporarily in Berlin.

How does registration work after moving to Leoben?

Within three days of moving in, at the citizens' service office in the town hall, online via oesterreich.gv.at or by post. You need the Meldezettel signed by the accommodation provider, photo ID and your birth certificate. If you stay longer than three months, you also apply for the registration certificate for EU citizens.

Does your company also offer long-distance moves to Leoben from abroad?

Yes, we carry out moves from Berlin to Leoben and back. Within the EU there are no customs formalities; what needs planning is driving times, toll and the stopping place at the destination. You will find details on long routes under Long-distance moves . Feel free to ask us if you are unsure.

Where is the steelworks and how do you get there?

The voestalpine plant is in the Donawitz district. Where you live depends on how you want to get to work – check bus connections and routes before choosing a flat. For the move, we clarify access and the stopping place at your new address. Our guide prices by number of rooms are further above.

How much does a part load to Leoben cost?

A part load is usually cheaper than a dedicated journey because your belongings travel with other consignments and you only pay your share of the load space. We give a fixed price based on volume and date; More under Part load .

How can I prepare for moving day and the weather in Leoben?

In winter, snow can make access more difficult, so we allow more time for the approach and carrying distances. Check with the property management whether pavements and access are cleared. For the long route via the Pyhrn motorway, we choose the date so that the lorry arrives on a weekday.

Who is the contact in Leoben for using public roads during a move?

For special use of public roads, the town of Leoben names the department for building and road law and safety (telephone +43 3842 4062-335). For the Hauptplatz and Kirchplatz, the City Management is named. The page does not explicitly mention moves, so it is worth asking early.

Which documents do I need for the Meldezettel in Leoben?

According to the town of Leoben, you need the signed Meldezettel (also signed by the accommodation provider), an official photo ID and your birth certificate. An old Meldezettel and, for foreign nationals, a travel document may also be required. Registration is free of charge.

How does bulky waste collection work in Leoben after the move?

Households book the collection in advance with the department for waste, wastewater and environmental management; collection takes place on Mondays, once a year, up to 5 m³. The town names a transport fee of €24.85. Alternatively, you can take bulky waste to the Leoben recycling centre.

How is the moving price for Leoben calculated from Berlin-Moabit?

The price depends on volume, floor, carrying distances and any arrangement that may be needed for a stopping place or access. We give it to you after the survey. The route from our base in Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21) is around 856 km and is included in the fixed price.

Moving to Leoben: the bend of the Mur, Göß and Donawitz

Living in Upper Styria

Unsere Firma comes from Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21) and plans your move to the mining town on the Mur at a fixed price.

After Graz, Leoben is the second-largest town in Styria and lies in the upper Mur valley. The old town centre grew up in a bend of the Mur; today the town extends across both banks. With the voestalpine plant in Donawitz, Leoben is one of the most important sites of the Austrian steel industry and home to the Montanuniversität (University of Leoben). The town comprises the localities of Leoben, Donawitz, Göß, Hinterberg, Judendorf and Leitendorf. For your home move we clarify in advance where the lorry can stop. If the scope does not change, the price stays exactly as stated in the quote. If the new flat is not yet free, we store your belongings temporarily in Berlin and deliver on the agreed date.

We come from Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and drive around 856 km via Passau and the Pyhrn motorway to Leoben; by lorry that takes about 13 hours including breaks, so with two drivers or an overnight stop. Within the EU there is no customs duty on your household goods. After moving in, you register within three days at the citizens' service office (Bürgerservice) in the town hall. We give you the fixed price after a survey. More on the route in the long-distance moving guide for Leoben. We answer frequently asked questions briefly and specifically further below. We plan the way back to Berlin in the same way.

What we handle on a move to Leoben

From Berlin to the Mur

We have no branch in Austria; instead we come by lorry from Berlin-Moabit. That is why we clarify in advance where the vehicle may stop – for public roads the town names a permit for special use, and for the Hauptplatz and Kirchplatz the City Management. We pack, carry, transport and assemble; the registration form (Meldezettel) is up to you. For your belongings we are liable under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre, and additional insurance is possible. We come from Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21); the route is already included in the fixed price.

Packing service

We pack room by room, pad glass and screens and number the boxes so that nothing has to be searched for in Leoben – with our packing service.

Office move

For law firms, practices and small offices we plan dismantling and set-up so that computers and files are quickly ready again in Leoben – with an office move.

Senior moves

Anyone moving to Leoben later in life to be closer to family gets help with sorting out, packing and assembling furniture in Leoben – with a move for seniors.

Furniture transport

We secure heavy or fragile pieces with blankets and straps for the long journey and carry them right into the flat in Leoben – with furniture transport.

FIXED PRICE AFTER A SURVEY

Well planned to Leoben

We give you the fixed price for your move to Leoben after the survey – packing, transport, toll, a second driver and assembly appear in it as separate items. Dates at the end of the month are in demand, so an early enquiry pays off.

Access sorted

We ask about the floor, lift, stairwell and space to set things down in advance, so that enough movers and materials are on hand for the move in Leoben.

Arrival planned

With around 13 hours on the road by lorry, we fix the loading and arrival times beforehand so that the handover in Leoben can be firmly agreed.

Registration in view

You handle registration at your new address yourself (registration form, Meldezettel, within three days) – we give you the arrival day in writing so the deadline is clear.

No customs within the EU

Within the EU no customs duty is due on your household goods; a simple list of boxes still helps when unloading in Leoben and in case of damage.

Return trip possible

We also plan the move from Leoben back to Berlin with a survey or video call, a fixed price and deregistration at your old place of residence in mind.

Storage to bridge a gap

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

PART LOAD

Part load: move affordably

Combine cleverly, move for less

A part load to Leoben bundles several small jobs in one lorry that travels the route via Passau to Styria. This lowers the cost per cubic metre but requires flexibility on the delivery day – often the cheapest solution for single pieces of furniture.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about moving to Leoben

Costs, localities, Meldezettel, road space, bulky waste and liability – answered briefly.

Costs depend on flat size, floors, access and additional services, plus around 856 km from Berlin, toll and, because of driving time, a second driver or an overnight stop. No customs duty is due within the EU. You will find our guide prices by number of rooms further above; after a free survey we give you a fixed price. We settle the exact process during the survey.

The localities of Leoben at a glance

Leoben is divided into six localities. The centre, Leoben, with the Hauptplatz and the old town, lies in the bend of the Mur; then there is Donawitz with the voestalpine steelworks. Göß is known for its abbey of the same name and its brewery, and there are also Hinterberg, Judendorf and Leitendorf. For residents' parking permits, the town is divided into zones such as the town centre, Waasen and Judendorf. For the move, the areas differ mainly in access and stopping place: around the Hauptplatz and Kirchplatz it is tight, while on the outskirts there is more space in front of the house. Which area suits you depends on your commute, school and budget.

Montanuniversität, work and everyday life in Leoben

The Montanuniversität Leoben is known for mining, metallurgy and materials. Major employers are the voestalpine plant in Donawitz, the university, the district administration and courts, as well as retail and healthcare. Leoben is the southern starting point of the Austrian Iron Road (Eisenstraße). We do not give specific rents because they depend heavily on location and condition; compare current offers on Austrian portals. It is best to plan giving notice in Berlin, the Meldezettel within three days and, if applicable, the registration certificate (Anmeldebescheinigung) after three months backwards from moving-in day. If the flat is not yet free, we store your furniture temporarily in Berlin.

Price transparency for your move

How much a move costs depends heavily on the size of the flat: we move a 1-room flat from €339, for a 2-room flat prices start at €615, for a 3-room flat from €915 and for a 4-room flat from €1,309. For a house or villa we prepare an individual quote for you. For long-distance moves we charge from €3.85/km. It is best to book a free survey straight away.

Leoben: clarifying public road space for the removal van

A removal van that occupies road space in Leoben quickly touches on several responsibilities. The town of Leoben states on its website that a permit for special use (Bewilligung zur Sondernutzung) is required for using public land or roads for non-traffic purposes. This page contains no specific reference to moves or removal vans, nor does it state lead times or fees. So ask early whether a permit or a no-stopping zone is needed for your address.

As contact points for special use, the town names:

for all other uses, the department for building and road law and safety (Referat Bau- und Straßenrecht, Sicherheit; telephone +43 3842 4062-335, [email protected])
for the Hauptplatz and Kirchplatz, the City Management
in general, the citizens' service office in the town hall, Erzherzog Johann-Straße 2 (telephone +43 3842 4062-450)

Anyone parking their own vehicle in the Green Zone or short-stay parking zone will also find the online applications for parking permits on the town's website. These pages say nothing about reserved space for removal vans.

For the enquiry, have the address, date, time, approximate vehicle length and the required standing area ready; this makes it quicker for the town to assess which arrangement is needed. We check during the survey which access, carrying distances and standing place your address in Leoben requires. Only then do we set the price. How we organise stopping options is described under Parking restriction zone.

Leoben after moving in: Meldezettel, citizens' service and bulky waste

In Austria you register your new residence within three days of moving in. According to the town of Leoben, the citizens' service office in the town hall is responsible for this; registration is free of charge. You need a fully completed Meldezettel, which the accommodation provider also signs, an official photo ID and your birth certificate, and if applicable your old Meldezettel. Foreign nationals also present a travel document. If you prefer, you can register online via the registration portal on oesterreich.gv.at or by post.

The citizens' service office is open on Monday and Thursday from 8:00 to 16:00 and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:00 to 12:00, and additionally by appointment. For your first period in the town, the advice centre "LE Kompass" offers support for newcomers.

If bulky items accumulate during the move, the town of Leoben names a chargeable collection: households can have bulky waste collected once a year, with prior registration with the department for waste, wastewater and environmental management. Collection takes place on Mondays, and according to the town the transport fee is €24.85. Only furniture, mattresses and scrap metal are collected, up to a maximum of 5 m³ per collection. Alternatively, you can take bulky items to the Leoben recycling centre (Altstoffsammelzentrum) yourself.
