Moving in Bohnsdorf: village green Falkenberg garden city, “Paradies”

Bohnsdorf lies in the south-west of the Treptow-Köpenick district and borders Altglienicke, Grünau and the Brandenburg municipality of Schönefeld. The terrain is flat apart from the Falkenberge hills in the north, almost 60 metres high, and the buildings are typical of the city's edge: detached houses and terraced-house estates. A special feature is the listed village green at the Dorfplatz with the baroque village church – one of the few completely preserved village greens in Berlin. Praktik Transport und Umzüge, known under the brand Beste Umzug, is based in Moabit (Stromstraße 21) and plans moves in Bohnsdorf after a survey – from Waltersdorfer Straße to Akazienhof.

On Akazienhof and Gartenstadtweg stands Bruno Taut's Falkenberg garden city, called the “paintbox estate” (Tuschkastensiedlung) because of its strong colours and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Berlin Modernism Housing Estates” since 2008. The houses are listed, and façades and gardens call for consideration when carrying. Bohnsdorf has no S-Bahn station of its own: Grünau, Altglienicke and Grünbergallee stations lie on the edge of the neighbourhood. For the lorry, Waltersdorfer, Schulzendorfer and Buntzelstraße and the B 96a in the north are what count. From a private move in a terraced house to a business relocation for small businesses in the neighbourhood, we plan the route beforehand.

Neighbouring areas such as Adlershof and Köpenick are quickly reached. Different rules apply in the estate streets than in the city centre: narrow roads, many detached houses with gardens and garages, and in the west new residential areas between the A 113 and A 117. We check the access, match the removal lorry and team size to your house and quote a fair, transparent moving price.

A move in Bohnsdorf differs significantly from a move in Berlin's densely built neighbourhoods. The area is characterised by detached and semi-detached houses, the cooperative houses of the “Paradies” on Paradiesstraße and Buntzelstraße, the Falkenberg garden city on Akazienhof and newer residential areas between the A 113 and A 117. Many houses have front gardens, garages or parking spaces on their own plot – a clear advantage for loading and unloading, which we make deliberate use of when planning the move.

At the same time, the estate structure brings its own challenges: narrow, sometimes winding residential streets without continuous pavements, limited turning space for larger removal lorries and noticeable parking pressure around the Dorfplatz. Our teams drive the route virtually in advance in order to plan for cul-de-sacs, roadworks or tight bends in the estate streets early on.

As many people in Bohnsdorf live in terraced or semi-detached houses with steep, narrow internal stairs, professional furniture transport is part of our fitters' everyday work. For a private move we also take care of complete furniture assembly on request – from dismantling the bed in the old bedroom to properly assembling the wall unit in the new home. For families with children or pets we also plan in time buffers so that moving day is stress-free.

House clearances also play a bigger role in Bohnsdorf than in purely rental neighbourhoods: cellars, attics, garden sheds and garages fill up over many years, especially in the older estate houses. We take care of proper disposal, so that you can concentrate fully on your fresh start when moving.

As a Berlin moving company for Bohnsdorf we offer the complete range of services for your move – tailored to the typical forms of housing in the neighbourhood. For families in a detached house on Waltersdorfer Straße or in the estate houses near the village green, we organise the complete private move including packing, transport and assembly at the new home.

Smaller businesses and practices in Bohnsdorf benefit from our business relocation service: we plan the move of office furniture, IT equipment and files so that business operations are hardly interrupted. For smaller quantities, for example moving a one-room flat or individual pieces of furniture, part-load transport is often worthwhile – a cost-effective alternative to your own removal lorry.

Thanks to the more generous living conditions, many people in Bohnsdorf own upright or grand pianos, which in detached houses often have to be transported over stairs or through narrow hallways. Our piano transport uses special equipment and trained staff so that the instrument arrives at its new location undamaged.

As Bohnsdorf has traditionally also been popular with older residents who have lived in their estate houses for a long time, we offer a sensitive senior move – with help in sorting, packing and organising moving day. Our offer is rounded off by professional furniture assembly and the clearance of house, garage or cellar before or after the move.

Even if Bohnsdorf, with its detached houses and private parking spaces, seems more relaxed than the densely built city centre, sufficient space for the removal lorry cannot be taken for granted. Especially in the narrow residential streets of the small estates around the Dorfplatz and on the main roads, parking space is often scarce due to commuter traffic and residents' parking.

For a smooth move we therefore apply in good time for a parking restriction zone right outside your front door – whether a detached house on Grünauer Straße, a terraced house in the new-build area between the A 113 and A 117 or a flat in one of the neighbourhood's few apartment buildings. The signs are put up with sufficient lead time, so that space for loading and unloading is reliably available on moving day – without long carrying distances across the street or time-consuming searches for parking.

In streets with front gardens and private driveways, a short word with the immediate neighbours is often enough to ensure free access during the move. In more densely built sections, for example near the historic village centre with the village church, we nevertheless recommend an official parking restriction zone to avoid conflicts with traffic on Waltersdorfer Straße.

Our team handles the complete application to the road traffic authority of the Treptow-Köpenick district office for you, so that you do not have to worry about anything else. This saves you valuable time on moving day, avoids fines for illegal parking and ensures that the removal lorry can stand right outside the door – a decisive factor for an efficient and therefore cost-effective move in Bohnsdorf.

The moving costs for a move within or to Bohnsdorf depend on several factors: the living space, the distance to the new address, the floor level and any additional services required, such as furniture assembly or house clearance. As many residential buildings in Bohnsdorf are at ground level or have a maximum of two storeys, there are often no costs for a furniture lift here, which has a positive effect on the total price – an advantage over neighbourhoods with classic Berlin perimeter block development.

On our page on moving costs in Berlin you will find a detailed overview of the usual price ranges, depending on the size of the flat and the scope of services. For Bohnsdorf the rule is: if you book early, benefit from a parking restriction zone and give clear information about boxes, furniture and the floor, you will receive a binding fixed price from us with no hidden extra costs.

Especially for moves from spacious detached houses with a cellar, attic and garage, a thorough survey in advance is worthwhile so that the estimate remains realistic. We offer this assessment both on site and digitally via photos or video call – practical for working people in Bohnsdorf who want to organise the move efficiently.

Additional services such as piano transport, clearance of outbuildings or part-load transport for individual pieces of furniture are shown transparently in the quote. This way you know from the outset what costs to expect and can plan your move in Bohnsdorf clearly in financial terms – without surprises at the end of moving day.

Around Bohnsdorf village church and on the listed Dorfplatz there are still a few historic buildings and old farmsteads that recall the neighbourhood's village past. These older houses bring their own challenges when moving: narrow internal stairs, low door frames and in some cases rotten wooden stairs that require careful furniture transport.

Most of Bohnsdorf, however, consists of detached, semi-detached and terraced houses from different periods – from the small estates of the 1930s and the colourful Taut houses of the Falkenberg garden city to newer residential projects between the A 113 and A 117. These buildings generally have no lift, but often narrow spiral staircases or steep cellar stairs, over which bulky items such as wardrobes, sofas or pianos can only be transported safely with skill.

For flats in Bohnsdorf's few multi-storey buildings, for example the cooperative houses on Paradiesstraße, we check in advance whether a furniture lift makes sense. This solution not only protects your furniture and stairwells but also speeds up the entire moving process considerably, especially for bulky items such as wardrobes or washing machines.

Our furniture packers are prepared for the building fabric in Bohnsdorf: they protect door frames and banisters, use anti-slip mats for delicate floors in older houses and work with increased care on listed or particularly old building parts. In combination with our furniture assembly we ensure that both your belongings and Bohnsdorf's historic building fabric remain undamaged.

From Bohnsdorf many moves lead within the Treptow-Köpenick district, but also far beyond. We particularly often handle moves to the nearby neighbourhood of Adlershof, which as a science and media location attracts many young families and commuters who move from quieter Bohnsdorf to the somewhat more urban new-build areas around the science campus.

Moves towards Köpenick with its historic old town and palace are just as popular, as are moves to Friedrichshagen on the Müggelsee, which is popular with people from Bohnsdorf for its village charm and proximity to the water. Moves to Oberschöneweide, where numerous former industrial buildings have been converted into modern lofts, are also part of our everyday work.

Those who prefer something more urban often move further north to Alt-Treptow or to green Plänterwald with its well-known park on the Spree. Via the B 96a and the Adlergestell these routes can be covered quickly and predictably.

As Bohnsdorf is also very close to BER airport, we regularly handle long-distance moves from Bohnsdorf to other federal states or even abroad within Europe. For these longer routes we carefully plan the route including rest periods, loading and unloading times at the destination and any interim storage of belongings, so that supra-regional moves from Bohnsdorf also run smoothly.

Booking your move in Bohnsdorf with us is straightforward and transparent. In the first step you receive a free assessment – by phone, by describing your flat with photos or during a personal on-site survey. We discuss details such as the floor, access options in your street, any additional services needed and the desired moving date.

We then prepare a binding fixed-price quote that includes all the services you want – from the private move and furniture assembly to applying for a parking restriction zone. Once you accept, we take care of all the organisational steps, so that on moving day you can concentrate fully on your fresh start in your new home.

On moving day itself, our well-coordinated team takes care of professional transport, careful loading and, on request, complete assembly of the furniture in your new flat or house. If needed, we add a clearance of the old cellar or garage to the move, so that you can hand over the old property swept clean.

As a little insider tip for the time after the move, we recommend a walk to the quiet village pond near the village church or a stroll through the park on the Falkenberg, which many residents call the “Buntzelberg” after Max Buntzel – ideal for catching your breath after strenuous moving days and exploring your new neighbourhood. This way your start in your new life in Bohnsdorf is a successful fresh start not only organisationally but also personally.

The authority responsible for moving-related parking restrictions in Bohnsdorf is the road traffic authority of the Treptow-Köpenick district office, Neue Krugallee 4, 12435 Berlin, email [email protected]. According to service.berlin.de, an informal application is sufficient, the minimum fee is 21.00 euros depending on extent and duration, and processing takes roughly four weeks.

Currently important: according to a press release from the district office dated 27 October 2026, roadworks on Bohnsdorf village green begin on 5 November 2026. The district office states:

• In the first phase, until around May 2027, the southern bypass (towards Buntzelstraße) is completely closed.
• Only residents may drive on the Dorfplatz between Hufenweg and the A117 bridge.
• Through traffic is routed via the northern bypass (towards Grünbergallee) with traffic lights.
• Parking spaces at the church and at the eastern end of the village green are lost for the entire construction period; parking restrictions will be set up along the village green.
• The “Bohnsdorf Kirche” bus stops of route 163 will be moved.

According to the district office, the footpaths north and south of the village pond remain open, which can be important for the route from the vehicle to the front door. According to the district office, the construction period lasts until the end of 2027. Therefore check the current status before your moving date and plan where the lorry will stand early. How we coordinate the application, signage and moving date is described on the page Parking restriction zone.

The history of the neighbourhood on the Treptow-Köpenick district office's website goes back to its first mention in Emperor Charles IV's land register around 1375. Today, according to the district office, federal motorway 117 cuts through the neighbourhood, and in the south part of the Schönefeld airport site extends into it. The Dorfplatz is also a listed monument. On the buildings, the chronicle mentions:

• The church on the Dorfplatz: from 1755 a new building replaced the church built between 1375 and 1449; it survived both world wars and is considered one of the few baroque church buildings in the region.
• Farmsteads from around 1885 with barns, stables and a dovecote on the Dorfplatz.
• Bruno Taut's Falkenberg garden city, part of the UNESCO World Heritage list of Berlin Modernism Housing Estates since 2008, with its striking colours and Akazienhof as the first section.
• A palace-like villa from 1898 on the Falkenberg, later a convalescent home and hospital.

For your move this means a mix of village-centre houses, estate houses and villas. During the survey we clarify access, carrying routes and where the van will stand, taking the roadworks at the Dorfplatz into account. After moving in, you register within 14 days (service.berlin.de).
