Which districts are best for families?

Families often look in Lehnitz , between the lake and the Havel, or in the Eden settlement with its large gardens. The town centre also scores with schools, nurseries and short distances. Wensickendorf and Schmachtenhagen are quieter and more village-like.

How good are the connections to Berlin?

Oranienburg is the northern terminus of the S1 S-Bahn line , which runs directly into central Berlin; the regional trains are faster. By car you reach the Berlin Ring (A10) via the nearby A111 or the junctions at Birkenwerder and the Oranienburg interchange. These connections make the town popular with commuters.

Do I have to re-register in Oranienburg?

Yes, after the move you register within two weeks (§ 17 BMG) – online via OpenR@thaus with BundID or at the Oranienburg citizens' office at Schloßplatz 1, from November 2026 by appointment (except Tuesdays). Bring your ID card and the landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung, § 19 BMG).

How long does a move from Berlin to Oranienburg take?

From Berlin-Moabit to Oranienburg it is around 33 km, a 40- to 60-minute drive depending on traffic and district. The whole moving day, including loading and unloading, takes between four and eight hours depending on the size of the flat. We plan the route to avoid traffic jams on the Berlin Ring wherever possible.

Do you also offer a furniture lift service?

Yes, for flats on upper floors without a lift we use a furniture lift if needed. This protects stairwells and speeds up the move. We check during the survey whether a lift can be set up and include it in the fixed price .

How do I find an affordable flat in Oranienburg?

Search early via portals, housing companies and property management firms. The more rural districts such as Germendorf and Friedrichsthal are often cheaper, while Lehnitz and the town centre are more sought after. Have documents ready for landlords and respond quickly to offers.

Which employers are there in Oranienburg?

As the district town, Oranienburg offers jobs in the Oberhavel district administration and at Oberhavel Kliniken, as well as in business, retail and educational institutions. Thanks to the S1 and regional trains, many Berlin employers are easy to reach, which makes Oranienburg attractive for commuters.

What makes Oranienburg a good place to live?

Oranienburg impresses with a mix of a historic town centre with the Baroque Oranienburg Palace , plenty of nature on the Havel and Lake Lehnitz, and good connections to Berlin. The town offers many Berliners more living space, plus schools, nurseries and leisure options by the water. This combination makes Oranienburg an attractive place to live in Berlin's surroundings, especially for families and commuters.

Do you also offer long-distance moves to Oranienburg?

Yes. We are based in Berlin and also cover longer routes from all over Germany to Oranienburg, for example from Munich, Hamburg or the Ruhr area. We agree dates and the fixed price after the survey. You will find more under Long-distance moves .

How does a part load work for a move to Oranienburg?

With a part load you share the load space with other goods being transported in the same direction, which saves costs especially for smaller moves or a few pieces of furniture. We coordinate collection and delivery dates flexibly and deliver your items safely to Oranienburg. This option is particularly worthwhile for students and individuals.

Where do I apply for a no-parking zone for my move in Oranienburg?

At the road traffic authority of the Oberhavel district, exemption permits team, Adolf-Dechert-Straße 1 in Oranienburg. You can reach the team by phone on 03301 601-5924; opening hours are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That is also where you submit the application.

The district requires an informal application at least two weeks before the parking date. It can be submitted in person, by post or by email. If a third party submits the application, a power of attorney must be enclosed.

What does a no-parking zone cost in Oranienburg?

The district refers to a no-parking fee overview based on the GebOSt. Additional fees apply for statements from the municipalities and the police. The district states the current amount on its website.

Do I need an appointment at the Oranienburg citizens' office?

The districts of Oranienburg: where you will feel at home

Oranienburg consists of the town centre and several districts that appeal to different lifestyles. The town centre scores with the Baroque Oranienburg Palace, shopping and short distances to the station, while Lehnitz, between Lake Lehnitz and the Havel, is popular with families and Berlin commuters. Eden, the fruit-growing settlement founded in 1893 within the town centre, offers large plots and plenty of greenery.

If you prefer it more rural, Wensickendorf, Zehlendorf or Schmachtenhagen have a village character. Germendorf and Friedrichsthal are close to the town centre, and the district of Sachsenhausen is home to the memorial as well as residential areas. We plan access for every district during the survey.

Housing market, rents and employers in Oranienburg

The best way to check whether a rent is right is with current listings and comparative rents; many Berliners move to Oranienburg for more living space. Terraced houses and new-build flats in Lehnitz and the town centre are in demand, while the more rural districts tend to have larger plots. The town is growing, which is putting increasing pressure on the housing market.

As the district town, Oranienburg offers jobs in the Oberhavel district administration, at Oberhavel Kliniken and in several business parks. The S1 S-Bahn line has its northern terminus in Oranienburg, and regional trains also run to Berlin. This way commuters and students reach Berlin's universities and employers without detours. This mix of space and connections makes Oranienburg attractive for many.

Moving prices by flat size

These base prices apply to a move to Oranienburg: for a 1-room flat you pay from €365, for a 2-room flat from €615, for a 3-room flat from €879 and for a 4-room flat from €1,324. For a house or villa we prepare an individual quote, and we charge long-distance moves from €3.85/km. We state the exact price after a free survey.

What changes the price in Oranienburg

Every calculation is based on volume and distance (from €3.85/km) – from Berlin-Moabit it is only around 33 km. On top of that come the floor, the lift and the parking restriction zone with the district's exemption permit. For furniture assembly or a part load we prepare an individual quote.

No-parking zone for your move in Oranienburg: the Oberhavel district road traffic authority

In Oranienburg, no-parking zones are not handled by the town but by the district. According to the Oberhavel district, to keep parking spaces free for your own move you need an exemption permit from the road traffic authority. The responsible team is the exemption permits team at Adolf-Dechert-Straße 1, 16515 Oranienburg (phone 03301 601-5924). Opening hours are Tuesdays from 9 am to 12 noon and 1 pm to 6 pm, and Thursdays from 9 am to 12 noon and 1 pm to 4 pm.

For the application, the district states:

An informal application that arrives at least two weeks before the parking date, in person, by post or by email.
A power of attorney if third parties submit the application for you.
The fee is listed in the no-parking fee overview on the district's website and is based on the GebOSt (fee schedule for road traffic measures). Additional fees apply for statements from the municipalities and the police.
Approval depends on a compelling need being apparent; the authority examines each case individually.

So describe specifically in the application why the van has to stand directly in front of the building. One example would be narrow access. How we support you with this is described under No-parking zone. More about the location: Removal company Oranienburg.

Re-registering in Oranienburg: citizens' office, residents' parking permit and the Lehnitz district

Anyone moving from Berlin to Oranienburg (Removal company Berlin) registers within two weeks under § 17 (1) BMG. The town offers online registration of your main residence via OpenR@thaus; access is via BundID or a service account. In person, you go to the citizens' office at Schloßplatz 1. According to the town, from 2 November 2026 the citizens' office can only be visited by appointment, except on Tuesdays. The public-authority number 115 is available Monday to Friday from 8 am to 6 pm.

If you live in the town centre (parking zone 1), you can apply for a residents' parking permit. The citizens' office accepts the application, and the permit is issued by the Oberhavel district. The town states a processing fee of 30.70 euros; the permit is valid for one year.

Besides the town centre, Oranienburg consists of the districts of Friedrichsthal, Germendorf, Lehnitz, Malz, Sachsenhausen, Schmachtenhagen, Wensickendorf and Zehlendorf. According to the town, Lehnitz is the largest district; it borders directly on the town centre and lies between Lake Lehnitz and the Havel on the L 211. The railway line divides the village into Lehnitz-Nord and Lehnitz-Süd. In the south, housing and recreational plots dominate. Plan access to the district accordingly and check which side of the railway your address is on.

For shorter distances, our local move is the right choice.
