Which districts does Lübeck have?

Ten: Innenstadt (old-town island), St. Jürgen , Moisling , Buntekuh , St. Lorenz-Süd , St. Lorenz-Nord , St. Gertrud , Schlutup , Kücknitz and Travemünde . They are subdivided into 35 city wards. For the move, what counts is less the boundaries than the access, floor and stairwell at the address.

How does the removal van get onto the old-town island?

The old town lies between the Stadt-Trave and the Kanal-Trave; it can only be reached via bridges. Many houses are old, and stairs are often narrow. We therefore plan vehicle size and carrying distances in advance and apply for the loading area via the road traffic authority's online form, in which lengths from 15 to 30 metres can be selected.

Is Travemünde a separate district of Lübeck?

Yes, Travemünde has belonged to Lübeck since 1329 and has been a district since 1913; it has been an official seaside resort since 1802. It lies around 17 km from the city centre at the mouth of the Trave, opposite the Priwall peninsula. For a move to Travemünde we clarify access and parking space particularly early.

What are the major employers in Lübeck?

The well-known ones include the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein with the University of Lübeck, the technical university, the Drägerwerk in St. Lorenz and the port with the Skandinavienkai in Travemünde. If you are moving for a job, it is best to plan the moving date to suit your first working day.

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

From our base in Stromstraße it is around 274 km via the Berlin ring road and the A24. By lorry it takes about 3.5 hours including a break; loading, the journey and unloading often fit into one day. More under Moving Berlin – Lübeck .

Is the fixed price for Lübeck really fixed?

Yes. We calculate the fixed price after a survey or from precise details on flat size, floor and access, and confirm it in writing. Extra costs only arise for services you request later, such as moving a piano or additional storage. That is why it pays to show us the cellar, loft and balcony during the survey as well.

What makes the University of Lübeck special?

The University of Lübeck is a specialised university with its own hospital, the UKSH. Together with the technical university it is located in St. Jürgen, where the Hochschulstadtteil has developed as a mixed residential and business quarter. For students with little furniture a part load is often the cheapest solution.

How is a move into Lübeck's old town organised?

First we clarify the floor, stair width and whether there is a lift. Then you apply online to the road traffic authority for the loading area, stating street, house number, period and length; the new address is mandatory for moves. The city does not provide traffic signs, so we bring the signs. That way your old-town move goes ahead without hunting for a parking space.

Is a part load to Lübeck worthwhile?

With a part load , your belongings travel together with other consignments on the same route, which lowers the costs. This suits smaller volumes or single pieces of furniture. In return a time window applies instead of a fixed delivery date; we tell you after your enquiry whether a tour to Lübeck fits. For single items such as a sofa or a desk this is often the cheapest solution.

How are my belongings insured?

We are liable for damage to your belongings under the German Commercial Code (HGB): under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre of load space. For valuable items such as antiques or a piano, additional insurance is available. Report visible damage no later than the day after delivery, and damage not visible from the outside within 14 days (§ 451f HGB).

Can I also move from Lübeck to Berlin?

Yes, we plan the reverse route in just the same way: a survey or video call, a fixed price, loading in Lübeck and around 274 km via the A24 to Berlin. In Berlin we apply to the district office (Bezirksamt) for the parking restriction, and you register within two weeks at the registration office (Bürgeramt). We give you the fixed price for this direction too after the survey.

Where do I apply for a parking restriction zone for my move in Lübeck?

The Hanseatic City of Lübeck provides an online application from the road traffic authority for this. One-off applicants use the standard form. Regular applicants with at least five applications per quarter use a login portal.

What information does the parking restriction zone form require?

You are asked for your contact details, for moves the new address, and up to three streets with house number, period, daily time and maximum length. Lengths of 15, 20, 25 or 30 metres can be selected. You can optionally give further reasons.

Does the city of Lübeck provide the traffic signs for the parking ban?

According to the city's note, no traffic signs can be provided. The signs therefore have to be organised another way. We clarify this with you as part of our parking ban planning.

Can I re-register online in Lübeck?

Yes. The Hanseatic City offers online re-registration using the online ID function of your identity card or an eID card. You receive a code by post at the new address and then download the confirmation. According to the city, moves must be reported within 14 days.

How do I contact the city of Lübeck with questions about moving and registration?

The city gives the public authority number (0451) 115 as well as citizens' service offices and online appointment booking. Opening hours can be found at luebeck.de. The road traffic authority is responsible for traffic questions.

From Berlin to Lübeck

Moving to Lübeck – from the old-town island to the Baltic

Guide

Unsere Firma comes from Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21) and drives around 274 km, mostly on the A24, all the way to Lübeck.

A move to Lübeck takes you to the second-largest city in Schleswig-Holstein: around 220,000 people live here on the Trave and the Baltic. The old town lies on an island between the Stadt-Trave and the Kanal-Trave and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987 – if you move there, you can only reach the quarter via bridges. We plan your home move or company relocation around the parking ban, access and stairwell, at a fixed price after a survey.

We come from Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and drive around 274 km via the Berlin ring road and the A24 to Lübeck; with a break that is about three and a half hours. Whether an older building in St. Gertrud, a residential block in Buntekuh or a house in Travemünde: we clarify floor, lift and parking space in advance. The page Moving Berlin – Lübeck describes the route in detail. For a quote, you can reach us on 01625978461.

Offers available individually, depending on effort, scheduling and the scope of services required.

FROM BERLIN

What we take care of when you move to Lübeck

Planning from Berlin, arrival in Lübeck

We have no branch in Lübeck; we come by lorry from Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21). That is why we ask about access, floor and stairwell in advance – whether a flat in St. Jürgen or a house in Travemünde. In Lübeck you apply for the parking ban online with the road traffic authority; according to its own note, the city does not provide traffic signs – we take care of the signs. We give you the fixed price after the survey; we are liable for your household goods under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre, and additional insurance is possible. You will find places with their own pages under Locations.

Packing service

We pack crockery, books and electronics for the journey of around 274 km and label every box by its destination room in Lübeck with our packing service.

Office move

Files, IT and workstations are numbered and set up again in Lübeck according to the room plan – with an office move.

Senior moves

A calm pace, clear arrangements and reassembly on the same day in Lübeck – that is how we plan a senior move.

Furniture transport

A piano, display cabinet or wall unit travels padded and strapped down, even into a narrow stairwell in Lübeck – with furniture transport.

FIXED PRICE AFTER A SURVEY

Services that fit

We give you the fixed price for your move to Lübeck after the survey – with packing, transport, parking ban and assembly as separate items. The route of around 274 km from Berlin-Moabit is included.

Arrival time set

With a lorry journey of around 3.5 hours, we fix the loading and arrival times in advance so that you can agree the handover in Lübeck bindingly.

Floor and lift checked

A flat in St. Jürgen or a house in Travemünde: we ask about floor, lift and stairs in advance – so there are enough movers for the move to Lübeck.

Parking zone planned

We coordinate the online application with the road traffic authority; we bring the signs, as the city does not provide any – for space outside your new flat.

Planned backwards

We plan backwards from moving-in day: notice in Berlin, packing dates, the parking ban and the journey to match the handover in Lübeck.

Interim storage possible

If the flat in Lübeck is not yet free, we store your belongings by arrangement and deliver on the new date.

Settle in, not unpack

Beds and wardrobes are in place on arrival day, the boxes are in the right rooms – and you have time to re-register in Lübeck.

FOR SMALL LOADS

Part load: move affordably

Combine cleverly, move for less

For smaller volumes or single items, a part load to Lübeck can be cheaper: your belongings share the load space with other consignments on the same route. In return you need some leeway on the delivery day – handy if only a few items are following on or a flatshare room is moving.

service without compromise

Stress-free from A to B

A move to Lübeck raises its own questions: how does the lorry get onto the old-town island, when do you apply online for the parking ban and where do you re-register? This guide introduces the ten districts – from the city centre via St. Jürgen with its university and technical university to Kücknitz, Schlutup and Travemünde. It also covers costs, the route from Berlin and re-registration. That way you are prepared before the first box is packed.

Planning safely and calmly

With a timetable worked back from moving-in day – notice, parking ban, packing dates, re-registration – your home move, senior move or student move to Lübeck stays manageable.

Furniture, boxes, carrying routes

With a packing service, careful furniture transport and sorted parking, furniture gets into the house without long carrying distances when moving to Lübeck, even in St. Jürgen or Travemünde. We secure heavy pieces such as a piano or wall unit with blankets and straps for the whole journey.

Costs, timing and special cases

Costs are determined by volume, floor and the route of around 274 km; for small amounts a part load lowers the price. The parking ban and any storage in Lübeck are included in the fixed price. For companies we plan an office move or company relocation with fixed time windows.

Frequently asked questions about moving to Lübeck

Costs, route, parking ban, registration and liability – answered briefly.

The costs of a move to Lübeck depend on the size of the flat, floor, access and the route – from Berlin it is around 274 km. Our guide prices by number of rooms and the price per kilometre can be found above in the price overview. After a free survey you receive a binding fixed price; enquiries on 01625978461.

Lübeck's ten districts at a glance

Lübeck is officially divided into ten districts: Innenstadt, St. Jürgen, Moisling, Buntekuh, St. Lorenz-Süd, St. Lorenz-Nord, St. Gertrud, Schlutup, Kücknitz and Travemünde. The Innenstadt on the old-town island is the smallest, and St. Jürgen in the south the largest by area.

St. Gertrud borders the old town to the north and is characterised by villas around the Stadtpark and the Wakenitz. Buntekuh and Moisling are characterised by residential blocks from the 1960s. Travemünde lies around 17 km from the old town at the mouth of the Trave. For the move, the specific address is what counts – our home move service adapts to it.

University, port and the Baltic: who moves to Lübeck

Lübeck has a specialised university with the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH), a technical university and a music academy; the university and TH are in St. Jürgen, where a new residential area has also grown up in the Hochschulstadtteil. In St. Lorenz the Drägerwerk shapes the scene, and in Kücknitz and Travemünde the port – the Skandinavienkai is Germany's largest Baltic ferry port. We do not give specific rents; they depend heavily on location and condition.

If you are coming for the start of semester or a new job, fix the moving date early so that the parking ban and re-registration fit into the first two weeks. Lübeck is part of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region. For long distances from Berlin, you will find everything under Long-distance moves.

Moving to Lübeck: applying online for a parking restriction zone

The Hanseatic City of Lübeck offers an online application for parking restriction zones, provided by the road traffic authority. One-off or occasional applicants use the standard form, while regular applicants with at least five applications per quarter use a login portal. In the form you enter your details and, for moves, always the new address. Up to three streets can be given per application, each with house number, period from–to, daily time and the maximum length of the area, selectable as 15, 20, 25 or 30 metres.

Optionally you can state reasons, longer periods or a restriction to Monday to Friday. Before submitting, you confirm that you have read the notes on setting up and fees. The city also points out there that it cannot provide traffic signs. On the road traffic authority's page "Umziehen – leichter gemacht" (moving made easier) you will find the notes on the procedure and access to the form.

Choose the exact length: allow for the lorry's length plus room to manoeuvre.
Plan the period generously: loading and unloading can take longer than expected.
Enter the new address: the form explicitly requires this for moves.

Deadlines and fees are set out in the city's notes, which can be reached via the form. Check them before submitting. Our page on the parking restriction zone shows how we organise the loading area.

Lübeck: re-registration, the old town and Travemünde when moving

After moving in, you register with the city. The Hanseatic City of Lübeck offers online re-registration using the online ID function of your identity card or an eID card. You check the stored data, enter the new address, receive a code by post at the new address and then download the confirmation. According to the city, moves must be reported within 14 days. Spouses and minor children can also be registered this way. If you would rather come in person, use the citizens' service offices or the city's online appointment booking; the public authority number is (0451) 115.

For buildings in the old town and in Travemünde, a practical rule applies regardless of registration: clarify access, carrying distances and stopping options before moving day.

Old town: note the stair width, floors and lift. Older houses may have narrow stairs and turns, which we take into account in the planning.
Travemünde: check parking options and access for a large vehicle, especially in densely built-up streets.
Parking rules: the city publishes parking rules on its website, which you should look through before moving day to avoid unnecessary warnings.

What we offer for moves within Lübeck is set out under Removal company Lübeck, and notes on long distances on the page about the long-distance move.
