Moving to another city is a big fresh start – whether you’re moving for love, for work, or simply because you want a change. Nevertheless, moving to another city also comes with some challenges that can seem terrifying at first. On the one hand, there are the tasks that arise with every private move: from re-registering your residence and terminating your old electricity contract to signing new contracts for water, telephone, Internet, etc. But when you move to another city, you also have to deal with other issues: How will you get started at your new workplace? Will I quickly find new friends? Which park is the best for a regular jog? Where is the nearest supermarket, the tastiest restaurant, the coziest café? How do I settle in to my new surroundings?
Despite all the uncertainties: Moving to another city can be a wonderful opportunity to reinvent yourself all over again. That’s why we’d like to start by relieving any anxiety you may have in the face of your upcoming personal move. Look forward to this new chapter in your life, the fresh canvas that is just waiting to be painted by you with the most colorful colors and surrender to the magic of a new beginning.
The best tip against worrying about moving to another city is to start planning in time. Moving checklists will help you keep track of everything that needs to be done in the future. We have already done some preliminary work in this regard and have compiled numerous moving checklists on our moving blog, which can be of great help when moving to another city. For example, take a look at the change of address moving checklist, the office moving checklist, and the post-move checklist. On moving checklists like these, you can always keep track of all the tasks that need to be done, give them a deadline or time frame in which they should be tackled, and simply check off what has already been done. This way, you can be sure not to forget anything and stay calm even in stressful moments.
Especially when moving to another city, however, the uncertainties in the run-up are often less about the private move itself and more about the trappings, such as the unfamiliar surroundings and life in a foreign country – usually far away from family and other favorite people. Therefore, even before the actual move, familiarize yourself a bit with the new place of residence and pay it a visit on the weekends, for example. You can use this opportunity to explore excursion destinations, find out about sports and leisure activities in the neighborhood, scout out the nearest shopping facilities, check out the public transport connections, and already walk or drive the route to your new work.
For a private move over long distances – such as a move to another city or even an international move abroad – it also makes sense to enlist the support of a moving company instead of a do-it-yourself move. After all, the change of scenery is exciting enough anyway! Having a professional moving company by your side will bring you the peace of mind you desire during the moving process.
Moving house with a dog is a challenge for both humans and animals for different reasons. While owners deal with the practical aspects of the move, dogs naturally find it difficult to understand everything that happens around them during the removal. Nevertheless, most dogs cope quite well with the challenges of moving house. How you approach the move is also important: The dog instinctively senses the mood of his "pack". We will show you the best way to deal with your pet when moving house with a dog at the various stages of the removal.
Before moving house with a dog, there are boxes to pack, clothes to stow away, furniture to dismantle and renovation work to do. Many dogs naturally show an interest in this. Allow your dog to take part in the preparations, but make sure that your pet cannot injure itself in the process. Pay particular attention to tools or pieces of furniture on the floor, boxes falling over or slippery surfaces.
On the moving day itself, it can be practical to leave the dog with trusted persons (family, friends) who are not directly involved in the move. Alternatively, hire a removal helper who will mainly look after the dog. Here too, it is helpful to have a person with whom the dog is already familiar. This means you have one less thing to worry about on the day of the move and can concentrate fully on the successful completion of the move with a clear conscience.
Of course, it’s all easier if you book the full-service removal service from Umzüge Mansholt: We pack the belongings for your private move and ensure that everything arrives safely at the desired destination and is then reassembled.
If you have not booked a full-service move, you and your family and friends will need to set up and put away your belongings in your new home, from furniture in the living room to cutlery and glasses in the kitchen. The same rules apply here as for the preparations for the move – the dog’s safety must be guaranteed. Cuddling up together on the couch after the work is done is the reward for all the hard work.
Dogs usually settle into their new environment quite well after the move. Nevertheless, you should not leave the dog alone in the unfamiliar surroundings for too long during the familiarisation phase. Instead, build up absences slowly.
One administrative task remains for the dog – re-registering after the removal. If you are staying in the same municipality, you can simply re-register the dog with the relevant authority. This can be found in the current dog tax notice. As a rule, an informal letter is sufficient for this purpose; sometimes there are also special forms, for example on the website. When moving to a new municipality, the dog must first be deregistered at the old place of residence and then registered in the new municipality. With these tips, you are well prepared for the move with your dog. We wish you Good Luck!
The handover of the flat when you move out, usually at the end or shortly before the end of the rental period, determines whether you get back the deposit you paid when you moved in. Tidying up the flat and leaving it in good condition is therefore an important point on any moving checklist.
The flat handover protocol is more than just a formality. It can be important in the event of later disputes, as it is legally binding and has probative value. It should therefore be carefully checked by both parties before signing.
If the next tenant for the flat has already been determined, they may also be present at the flat handover. In this case, the flat handover protocol can also be used to record agreements regarding the transfer of furniture or renovation of the flat.
With these tips, you will be well prepared for the flat handover when you move out. Concentrate fully on the other tasks involved in your private removal and look forward to your new home – we will make sure that everything arrives safely. You can find many more tips on the other points on your moving checklist in our removal blog.
Moving requires tools – there’s no question about that: furniture needs to be dismantled and reassembled, renovation work needs to be done in the old or new apartment, and lamps, pictures and mirrors are waiting to be installed. These are just a few of the situations that arise during a move and which make various tools absolutely necessary. You simply can’t do without them! But what exactly is important? We tell you which tools belong in every toolbox.
Tools are just as relevant for the move as moving boxes, moving helpers, and professional load securing of the moving goods. And basically not only there: A well-stocked toolbox belongs in every household, because small and larger crafts always come up. So move or not, you need these tools in any case:
You’ll need these tools for moving to take down and assemble furniture, mount pictures, and install lamps. Both slotted and cross-slotted screwdrivers are recommended – ideally in different sizes. Allen wrenches are usually included when you buy new furniture.
Clearly, where something is built or attached, screws or dowels are also needed. These should also be in different sizes.
Locksmith hammers and rubber hammers are among the most commonly used types of hammers that also do a great job during a move. They are suitable for getting nails into walls or wood, or for laying laminate or parquet flooring.
As the name of the combination pliers suggests, this is a tool for moving that you can use to do a variety of tasks: cutting, turning nails, and tightening nuts. Pipe wrenches and side cutters are the right tools for the handymen and women among you when moving. They can be used to install electrical appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, and the like yourself.
In most cases, even before you move, you will need tools such as a folding rule and tape measure to measure the new home, so you can check which of the furniture you already have will fit in which room or against which wall, as well as to take measurements for buying new furniture.
The spirit level shows you if you have really set up your furniture straight. When moving, this tool is therefore indispensable.
A phase tester, or voltage tester, is useful when connecting lamps, sockets and light switches because it tells you if there is electricity on the power line. You use the line tester, for example, to check where cables and lines are running before attaching wall murals so that they remain undamaged.
The move succeeds with the right tools in no time. However, it is important to focus on the quality of the individual tools. Therefore, check the current DIN standards and TÜV seals. If your toolbox is not yet well stocked and you have to buy a lot of new utensils, this can quickly become expensive. Therefore, ask your friends and acquaintances: Maybe you can borrow one or another tool. This option is now also offered by some hardware stores. This way you save money and still don’t have to do without high-quality tools.
Of course, the whole thing is even more comfortable with a moving company like Umzüge Mansholt at your side. We have a basic stock of tools of the best quality with which the disassembly and reassembly of furniture and even entire kitchens becomes a breeze. Simply book our moving services flexibly according to your needs and take advantage of the active support of our team.
Settling in after the move is the next important task once moving boxes and clothing crates are unpacked, furniture is set up, and belongings are placed in the appropriate rooms. You probably look back on exhausting weeks in which you were primarily occupied with the upcoming move: from picking out the new apartment, to folding the moving boxes and hiring movers, to the subsequent transport of your belongings. Now it’s time to relax, put your feet up and enjoy the fruits of your labour. But what is the best way to settle into your new home after the removal? We’ll tell you!
Settling in can be a challenge after the move, when all the work is finally done and you suddenly find yourself in a place that is still unfamiliar. Our tips will therefore help you to feel at home quickly after the change of apartment. Basically, it can take some time until everything is really in its intended place. Therefore, you should first choose a room or a part of a room in which you first ensure order and with attention to detail for coziness instead of moving chaos. The bedroom is a good place for this, where you can leave all the hustle and bustle of your move behind and recharge your batteries.
Even in the other rooms of your new home, even small things can create a feeling of comfort. Create a pleasant ambience with curtains, plants and lamps and lampshades, in which you can feel comfortable in the long term. In this context, murals, photos with your loved ones and other mementos with personal value are also a guarantee for a familiar home feeling in a new apartment and for a quick settling in after the move. Scented candles have a similar effect. Perhaps there is a particular candle that you always liked to light in your old home and whose scent you associate with home. It will also give off this scent in a new residence, making you feel at home.
Apart from these individual small elements that feel like home to you, also take the opportunity to redecorate instead of placing everything as you already know it from your old apartment. Try your hand at it, test out different decorating styles to find the perfect one for this stage of your life. After all, you have moved on and may now find you like different colours, patterns, fabrics, and cuts. In this way, you’ll impart your own unique and individual charm to your new home.
Once you have made yourself at home in your flat, you can familiarise yourself with your surroundings and introduce yourself to your neighbours, because familiar faces quickly convey a familiar feeling. Take a short round of introductions through the stairwell, bring something home-baked or invite them to a house-warming party. This is an opportunity to maintain old friendships and make new ones by familiarising your acquaintances with each other.
We can’t take care of your settling in after the move, but the team from Umzüge Mansholt is at your side for everything else that has to do with relocations. Within the framework of our planned logistics and comprehensive removal services, we take the lion’s share of the private relocations off your shoulders, so that you can focus entirely on settling into your new home after the move.
Shared flats and relocations often go together when it comes to getting your first own flat or moving in as a student. In these cases, a shared flat is the ideal solution for many young people: on one hand, they experience the freedom and independence of living alone, and on the other hand, they still enjoy the regular proximity to other people after moving out of their parents’ house. In addition, rents in shared flats are often comparatively cheap and when moving to a new town, it offers the chance to quickly make acquaintances in the new home.
In addition to packing, transporting and carrying boxes and disassembling and reassembling furniture, a flat-sharing move involves a number of other aspects that are not always involved in another relocations. First of all, it is about organisational matters, such as the tenancy agreement, the ancillary costs, the move-out regulations, telephone and internet connections as well as existing equipment and furnishings.
In connection with the tenancy agreement when moving into a shared flat, various solutions are conceivable, which primarily relate to who is the main tenant and who is the subtenant the shared flat. This in turn determines who is responsible for paying the rent and who is liable for damages. Also agree on a regulation of the service charges. These can either be paid equally by everyone or allocated on the basis of a fair distribution formula if someone is away a lot and therefore heats less, for example. The tenancy agreement should also stipulate the rules for moving out: What is the notice period? How will a new member of the flat-sharing community be chosen in case of a move-out and what happens to joint purchases within the flat-sharing community? These are just a few of the questions that all flatmates should clarify and decide on together. Once these contractual issues have been clarified, you can ask the flat-sharing community before your move which pieces of furniture, technical equipment, utensils and connections they already have and which you no longer need to worry about.
In addition to these organisational aspects, there is one important factor in relation to shared flats and moving: living together harmoniously. Be prepared to get used to new procedures, duties and routines in the shared apartment than at home with your family. Therefore, make clear agreements right from the start, especially regarding the shared rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom. A good first step is to draw up a cleaning schedule. It is also advisable to always behave in an exemplary manner and, for example, to wash and put away your own dishes in the kitchen.
Sometimes the whole flat-sharing community is involved in the move, if the togetherness proves to be so pleasant that all members of the flat-sharing community want to move into a new flat together – because they are moving to another part of town or the perfect property has become available for everyone involved. Such a flat-sharing move is basically a stroke of luck: With all the flatmates and their respective friends, there are quite automatically many moving helpers available who make the change of flat a breeze. If you still need help with the planning, organisation and coordination, you can turn to an experienced moving company like Umzüge Mansholt. Our team will support your flat-sharing community during the move and help you exactly where you need it: from providing high-quality packing materials to securing the load of the removal goods and transport.
For many young people, moving into a student residential home is the first big step towards growing up and becoming independent. Studying in a new town and moving into a student hall of residence entails moving out of your parents’ house and often getting your own flat for the first time. This makes the move into a student hall of residence even more exciting than a relocation or the start of a new chapter in life is anyway – our checklist makes it a lot easier and more relaxed.
In many cases, moving in as a student means moving into the respective student dormitory. This is often the cheapest option and not all students can count on the financial support of their family or have a profitable part-time job right from the start of their studies to earn the necessary small change themselves. However, you should bear in mind that many other first-year students will be in the same situation and should therefore try to find a room in a student dormitory on time. The best thing to do is to contact the student union at your university or college.
The procedure for moving into a student hall of residence depends on whether you move into a furnished or unfurnished room. Unfurnished rooms are usually cheaper, but you may have to pay for new furniture if you need it. Measure the room beforehand for this purpose – this is also important to check whether you can possibly bring furniture from home. It is perfectly fine to limit yourself to the most necessary inventory at the beginning, which consists of a bed, a wardrobe or chest of drawers, a desk, a chair and, if necessary, a couch or armchair and shelves. You probably won’t have much more space available anyway.
You don’t usually need to worry about kitchen and bathroom equipment, as this is already available when you move into a student residential home – this applies to appliances such as a washing machine and cooker as well as the necessary crockery. However, we recommend that you invest in a small fridge that you can keep in your room, as well as a kettle and, if you like, a microwave.
Things that you will always need when moving into a furnished student hall of residence room are bed linen, towels, toilet paper, kitchen roll, tissues, a laundry basket and detergent, washing materials and hygiene products, as well as a toiletry bag and various cleaning utensils such as a hoover, broom, dustpan, bucket and mop. In addition, you will of course need clothes, your technical equipment including cables and extension cords, textbooks, writing materials and personal items to make yourself homely. These can be books, decorative elements, plants and pictures, for example.
You can generally manage the move into a student dormitory quite easily yourself if you round up a few energetic movers in your circle of relatives and acquaintances, because moving into a residential home involves relatively little effort for students. After all, you don’t need a lot of furniture and hardly any large electrical appliances. However, even when moving into a student hall of residence, make sure to pack the few belongings safely and invest in high-quality packing materials such as moving boxes and clothes boxes. A professional moving company is your first port of call for these needs: As part of our individual relocation service, Umzüge Mansholt will be happy to provide you with the necessary equipment. In addition, our team will be happy to assist you with the transport and load securing of your relocation goods if you lack a suitable vehicle for this purpose. Contact us and we will provide you with a non-binding offer that is tailored to your move to a student residence!
A practice relocation is both an opportunity and a challenge. On the one hand, a practice move is associated with tasks that you would not otherwise face in your daily work. On the other hand, it offers the optimal opportunity to bring your equipment and thus also your work up to date – an investment from which both you and your patients will benefit.
As a doctor, you spend a large part of your time in the practice. Your working environment is therefore directly related to your personal well-being. At the same time, you can be there for your patients in the best possible way in a pleasant working atmosphere. In bright and inviting rooms, they will feel more comfortable with you than ever before. These are many good reasons for moving your practice. But what is the best way to proceed?
A practice relocation is as individual as your work as a doctor, but there are still some factors that need to be taken into account in any case. We therefore provide you with valuable tips that will make your practice removal a success, so that you will soon be able to treat your patients in your new premises.
First, set a date for your practice relocation and start planning from there. Inform your employees and find out how they can support you with the move. Also remember to inform your patients about the upcoming changes early on. As soon as the date of the move is set, it is also useful to already take care of an application for registration with the health insurance company. You can find further necessary documents and applications in our moving checklist for offices.
If you move your practice, it may be necessary to close it for a short time. Take this into account when making appointments and ensure that you have a substitute during the transition period whom your patients can see in case of illness. Longer downtimes of your practice can be avoided as far as possible during a practice removal if you plan the move at the weekend or over the holidays.
Especially when moving a practice, it can be helpful to hand over the work to professionals. After all, heavy and sometimes bulky furniture and technical equipment need to be moved safely to the new location. A moving company will help you with the assembly and disassembly of your relocation goods and will join forces to ensure that all your practice equipment arrives at the new practice in one piece.
While your moving company takes care of the lion’s share of the practice relocation, you can already make preparations for the new practice: Work out a concept for the interior design early on to create a feel-good atmosphere in the treatment rooms. Furthermore, order a new practice sign as well as business cards and address stickers with the new address. You can also put up a sign in front of your old practice informing people about your practice move.
For a practice move, Umzüge Mansholt is the removal company by your side. We have the necessary experience with all types of removals – regardless of whether it is a private move or a company move. For example, our team has already proven its professional expertise for company relocations, laboratory relocations, and warehouse relocations. We bring your practice’s inventory well to its new destination, take care of the packing of moving boxes as well as the load securing and the entire logistics. In doing so, we pay special attention to the observance of data protection in the case of sensitive patient files. If necessary, we dispose of your old technology that you do not want to take with you to the new location and prepare inventory lists of all current items in your practice for necessary new acquisitions.

Je weiter der Weg, desto länger sind Fahrzeug und Team unterwegs. Bei Umzügen innerhalb der Region fällt die Fahrzeit kaum ins Gewicht. Bei Fernumzügen kommen Kraftstoff, Maut, Lenkzeiten und eventuell Übernachtungen hinzu. Bei Auslandsumzügen berücksichtigen wir zusätzlich Zoll- und Einfuhrbestimmungen. Ein Teil der Kosten richtet sich also nach der Distanz.
Neben dem reinen Transport können Sie viele Leistungen dazubuchen. Dazu gehören das Ein- und Auspacken, der Ab- und Aufbau von Möbeln und Küche, Verpackungsmaterial, die Einrichtung einer Halteverbotszone, Einlagerung oder Entsorgung. Jede Zusatzleistung erhöht den Aufwand, erspart Ihnen aber Zeit und Stress. Im Angebot sehen Sie jede Position einzeln und können frei wählen.
Wie gut Ihre alte und neue Wohnung erreichbar sind, macht einen spürbaren Unterschied. Ein Umzug aus dem 4. Stock ohne Aufzug dauert deutlich länger als aus dem Erdgeschoss. Ebenso wichtig ist, wie nah der LKW parken kann. Lange Laufwege, enge Treppenhäuser oder schwere Einzelstücke wie ein Klavier erfordern mehr Personal oder Spezialtechnik, etwa einen Möbellift. Eine Halteverbotszone direkt vor der Tür spart oft Zeit und damit Geld.
Der größte Kostenfaktor ist der Umfang Ihres Umzugs. Wie viele Möbel, Kartons und sperrige Gegenstände transportiert werden, bestimmt die Größe des Fahrzeugs, die Anzahl der Umzugshelfer und die benötigte Zeit. Bei der Besichtigung erfassen wir Ihr Umzugsgut genau, damit Team und Fahrzeug passend geplant werden. So zahlen Sie nur für das, was Sie wirklich brauchen.
Unser Beitrag zum Klimaschutz. Auf unseren Hallendächern betreiben wir eine Photovoltaikanlage mit 26 kWp. Umzugskartons und Decken nutzen wir mehrfach. Auf Wunsch können Sie die CO₂-Emissionen Ihres Umzugs über ein Projekt unseres Partners natureOffice finanziell unterstützen; Ihr Umzug wird dadurch nicht klimaneutral.
