Your move to the state capital on Lake Schwerin

To Lake Schwerin

Unsere Firma Two and a half hours by lorry, two motorways, twelve lakes within the city: we plan the move as a single day.

A move from Berlin to Schwerin starts in Moabit with a turn northwards: from Stromstraße 21 the lorry takes the A111 to the Oranienburg interchange, then the ring road to the Havelland junction. After that it stays on the A24 through the Prignitz for a long time – around 137 km to the Schwerin interchange – switches to the A14 and rolls into the state capital via the B321. In total around 203 km, approx. 2.5 h with the removal lorry. Beste Umzug Unternehmen sets the fixed price after the survey, with liability under the German Commercial Code (HGB; § 451e HGB: €620 per cubic metre of cargo space); optional additional insurance is available for valuables. The same applies to the return move from Schwerin to Berlin.

Packing, dismantling and reassembling furniture, loading zones outside both buildings, storage until the key handover – you can add all of this as needed. For a long-distance move Berlin Schwerin it is important that the loading list, lorry and crew suit the building; we see this at the survey in your flat or on a video call. The lorry comes from Berlin and drives right up to the door – in the Schelfstadt, in Lankow or at the Großer Dreesch. Arrange the date on 01625978461.

Why Schwerin fits well into one moving day

Prignitz, A24, B321 – and the same route back

About 203 km, over two thirds of it on the A24: by lorry that is approx. 2.5 h and therefore well under the 4.5 hours of driving time after which the driver must take a break. For a normal household, loading in Berlin, the drive and unloading by the lake therefore fit into one day – the survey shows whether that is the case for you too. Packing, dismantling, driving and reassembly come from one team, whether you are moving to the state capital or from there back to the Spree, and our liability is under the HGB.

Packing service

The packing service comes to Berlin with boxes and blankets, wraps glasses and pictures and puts everything back into the cupboards in Schwerin.

Office move

Ministry, state authority or law firm in Schwerin: we schedule the office move for the weekend, and every desk gets its number.

Senior move

Anyone moving to Lake Schwerin in retirement has the same people on the senior move, from clearing out in Berlin to hanging the pictures.

Furniture transport

Farmhouse cupboard, glass cabinet or piano travel with their own padding; furniture transport to Schwerin only ends at the agreed spot.
MOVING WITH CLEAR AGREEMENTS

What makes the journey to Lake Schwerin plannable

A move between Berlin and Schwerin is short enough for one day if the plan is right: out of Moabit before the A111 fills up, loading zones outside both buildings and a fixed price that is in writing before moving day.

01

Reliable moving service

Loaded early in Moabit, two and a half hours on the A24 and A14, in Schwerin by late morning – which leaves the afternoon for reassembly.
02

Careful handling

Once strapped down in Berlin, your household goods stay in the same cargo area until they are carried into the new flat in Schwerin.
03

Clear communication

One contact person for the Spree and the lake knows your loading list, the fixed price and the time the lorry will arrive.
04

Structured move planning

The loading zone in Berlin is approved by the district office, in Schwerin by the state capital as an independent city – we submit both applications.
05

Flexible support

Tenancy in Schwerin only starts on the first of next month? We store the furniture in between and deliver it on handover day.
06

Quality as standard

Old mattress, cellar shelving, bulky waste: whatever is not going to Schwerin, we clear and dispose of before departure.
PART LOAD TO MECKLENBURG

Part load Berlin ↔ Schwerin

Affordable in both directions
With a part load to Schwerin your belongings take up only part of a lorry travelling via the A24 and A14; back from the lake to Berlin works the same way. Good for a washing machine, a chest of drawers or a few moving boxes. How flexible your date needs to be depends on when the next trip to Mecklenburg is due – we tell you straight away when you enquire.

planning Berlin ↔ Schwerin

Schwerin and Berlin: one plan for both directions

Private household, office, senior flat or student room: for a move to Schwerin we drive in both directions. We discuss with you the number of boxes, furniture assembly, loading zones and interim storage in case the new flat is not yet free; for a few items there is the part load. You have two weeks after moving in to register (§ 17 Federal Registration Act, BMG) – in Schwerin at the city's registration authority, in Berlin at the citizens' office (Bürgeramt).

Planning made safe and relaxed

Giving notice, applying for a loading zone, registering within two weeks: for a private move, senior move or student move to Lake Schwerin we go through the list together.

Furniture, boxes, transport routes

Packing service, furniture transport, small transport: from a Berlin period building without a lift to a late-19th-century flat in the Paulsstadt or a block in the Weststadt.

Costs, timing and special cases

Office move, company move, public-authority move, part load or furniture taxi to the state capital: the two and a half hours on the A24 are already in the schedule.

Questions about moving between the Spree and Lake Schwerin

Schwerin and Berlin in both directions

What people often ask before moving to Lake Schwerin or back to Berlin.
For the roughly 203 km to the state capital the guide price starts from €870. The exact amount depends on cubic metres, floor and extras such as packing or furniture assembly. After a short survey – in your flat, by video or from photos – you receive a binding fixed-price quote listing every service individually. Arrange the appointment on 01625978461.

State capital, palace, lakes: why Schwerin – and back

A move from Berlin to Schwerin often has a professional reason: as the state capital of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Schwerin is the seat of the state government and the state parliament, which has met in the palace since 1990. Others are drawn by the location on the south-western shore of Lake Schwerin – there are twelve lakes in total within the city – or by the residence ensemble around the palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2024. Families look for more space and shorter distances. For them we plan the date, boxes and furniture assembly so that the first evening by the lake is already spent in a furnished living room.

The return move from Schwerin to Berlin is just as much in demand, usually because of a job, a university place or the capital's larger cultural offering. Here too we look at the household goods in Schwerin, give you the fixed price and send a team all the way to your new Berlin door. Whether a loading zone in Berlin-Mitte or a narrow access road in Schwerin's old town: we know both addresses before moving day.

203 km via the A24 and A14: route and schedule

From Stromstraße 21 in Moabit to Schwerin it is around 203 km. The lorry drives north on the A111, joins the Berlin ring road (A10) at the Oranienburg interchange and the A24 towards Hamburg at the Havelland junction, past the Wittstock/Dosse junction; shortly before Suckow it reaches Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. At the Schwerin interchange it takes the A14 north and enters the city via the B321. Removal lorries over 3.5 t may drive at no more than 80 km/h on the motorway (§ 18 para. 5 StVO) – which gives approx. 2.5 h by lorry, well under the 4.5 hours after which EU Regulation 561/2006 requires a break.

Loading in Berlin takes place early in the morning so that the drive and unloading by the lake fit into the same day. In the city centre between the Pfaffenteich and the palace the streets are narrow and the tram runs right through; there we plan the arrival outside rush hour. The same schedule applies in the opposite direction, and the fixed price stays the same even if traffic is slow on the A24.

From the old town to Mueß: arriving in Schwerin

Schwerin is an independent city and the smallest state capital in Germany. The centre includes the Altstadt (old town), the Schelfstadt, the Paulsstadt and the Feldstadt; further out are Lankow, the Weststadt, Krebsförden, the Großer Dreesch, Neu Zippendorf and Mueßer Holz, and on the lake Zippendorf and Mueß. For period buildings in the city centre we check the stairwell and access in advance; in residential complexes with a lift we plan lift times with the property management. The Weststadt was built from 1955, Lankow between 1962 and 1972 as a prefabricated housing estate – there we ask about the floor and lift beforehand.

Anyone going back to Berlin often ends up in Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg or Charlottenburg; flat-hunting there usually takes longer than by the lake. Parking space outside Berlin buildings is scarce, so we apply for the loading zone at the district office and schedule it for your moving-in day. That way the move from Schwerin back to Berlin runs with the same team and the same procedure.

Guide prices for moving to the state capital

What the move to Lake Schwerin costs depends first on the amount – the direction of travel makes no difference. These figures give a first idea:

Type of homeCargo space approx.Starting price
Single, one room10–15 m³from €350
two rooms20–25 m³from €590
three rooms with a children's room30–40 m³from €890
four rooms45–60 m³from €1,290
House by the lakefrom 60 m³quote after an appointment

For the roughly 203 km from Moabit to Schwerin the guide price starts from €870, there and back. It becomes binding after a free survey.

Cubic metres, floor, city-centre location: the price factors

The biggest influence is the volume, then the distance: for the roughly 203 km to Schwerin we charge from €4/km. After that come the floor and lift, access in the old town, and furniture assembly and the loading zone. For just a few items a part load saves money.

What we take care of for the move to the lake

Individually or as a package, to Schwerin and back to Berlin:

Mecklenburg, the Baltic Sea and other routes

Schwerin lies on our route towards Hamburg and the Baltic Sea; from there we of course also drive back to Berlin. The other regions we serve are listed in the locations overview, and you can find all long-distance routes under long-distance moves.

An appointment for the survey – by the lake or on the Spree

Whether you are moving from Berlin to Schwerin or planning the return move from Schwerin to Berlin: after the survey you have a team from Moabit, a fixed price and liability under the German Commercial Code for the whole journey via the A24. Call 01625978461 or send photos of your rooms – then we will set the survey date for the long-distance move Berlin Schwerin.

Always one step ahead.
