Regional expertise
Bielefeld and the area around the Teutoburg Forest are our home turf – we know the narrow lanes of the old town around the Altstädter Nicolaikirche as well as the access roads in Brackwede, Heepen, Stieghorst and Sennestadt.
Your belongings in safe hands
Furniture and valuables are carefully packed and safely transported.
A worry-free move to and from Bielefeld
From the first consultation to the last assembled wardrobe, our experienced team takes care of everything: we plan your move in Bielefeld, supply moving boxes and packing material and handle packing, insured transport, furniture assembly and setting up your kitchen. For apartments without a lift or in the hillside locations near the Teutoburg Forest we bring an external lift and furniture hoist if needed.
We follow your wishes entirely – from full service to self-help with professional support. As an internationally active company we also move you from Bielefeld throughout Germany, across Europe and worldwide – including customs clearance on request.

Together we clarify all the requirements of your move and plan every step in advance. Throughout the entire move you have a dedicated contact person.
With sturdy moving boxes, bubble wrap and special packaging we optimally protect furniture, electrical appliances and valuables.
Our trained moving experts handle professional loading, safe transport and on-time delivery.
Move stress-free with Hartmann International
As a moving company with over 170 years of experience we accompany you at every step – from the personal consultation through the binding fixed-price quote to furniture assembly at your new home. Your goods are covered by the statutory carrier liability of €620 per cubic metre; on request we arrange extended transport insurance at replacement value. We work with permanent, fairly paid staff and our own fleet instead of subcontractors – in Bielefeld too, that is a hallmark of a reputable moving company.
Would you rather not deal with the many side tasks around a move? With our relocation service we take care of that for you – for job-related moves and employee assignments as well as for private customers who want to save time. We handle, among other things, finding a home and checking the tenancy agreement, registration and re-registration at the Bielefeld citizens’ office, day-care and school places, bank account and insurance, and connecting electricity, internet & co. For moves to or from abroad, visa, residence permit and customs clearance are added. That way you arrive in Bielefeld relaxed from the very start.

What does a move in Bielefeld cost?
The cost of your move in Bielefeld depends mainly on the volume, distance, floor level and the services you choose. After a personal consultation you receive a binding fixed-price quote with no hidden costs. As a guide, here are our reference prices for local moves in the Bielefeld area and the Teutoburg Forest (up to approx. 50 km):
Note: This guide price is not a binding offer and serves only for orientation. The final price is determined by further factors – e.g. the carrying distance for loading and unloading, heavy-item transport (such as a piano or safe), furniture assembly, floor or lift, and any additional services requested.
Rule of thumb: roughly half of your living space in m² equals the volume in m³ (100 m² ≈ 50 m³); 1 m³ is about 10 moving boxes. Different guide prices apply for regional moves, long-distance moves, office moves and storage – simply ask us.
All figures are guide values. You will receive your exact fixed price after a personal consultation.
No-parking zone in Bielefeld – we take care of it
A no-parking zone keeps the loading area clear right in front of your door and makes the move faster and gentler – especially in Bielefeld’s old town around the Altstädter Nicolaikirche, in the densely built-up Bielefeld West district and in narrow streets on the slope up to Sparrenburg castle.
On request we apply for the no-parking zone with the City of Bielefeld’s public order office (Niederwall 23) and put up the signs in good time. In districts such as Sennestadt, Senne or Jöllenbeck with good parking it is often not necessary – we advise you individually based on your moving address.

Frequently asked questions
What does a move in Bielefeld cost?
The cost of your move in Bielefeld depends on volume, distance, floor level and the services you choose. For local moves in the Bielefeld area and the Teutoburg Forest (up to approx. 50 km), guide prices are around €1,500 from 30 m³ (about a 2–3-room flat) and from €2,300 from 50 m³. You receive your exact fixed price after a personal consultation.
How much volume (cubic metres) does my move have?
As a rule of thumb, about half of your living space equals the moving volume: 100 m² ≈ 50 m³. A single household is around 15–20 m³, a 2–3-room flat 30–40 m³ and a larger family household 50–70 m³. 1 m³ is roughly 10 moving boxes. During the home survey we estimate the volume for your move in Bielefeld reliably.
What is included in a full-service move?
On request we take care of everything for your move in Bielefeld: personal consultation, packing material, professional packing and unpacking, furniture and lamp assembly, insured transport, setting up no-parking zones as well as external lift and furniture hoist. You can also choose individual services to match your needs and budget.
Are my belongings insured during transport?
Yes. Every move is covered by the statutory carrier liability of €620 per cubic metre (current value). On request we arrange extended transport insurance at the replacement value of your household goods for your move in Bielefeld.
Which districts in Bielefeld do you serve?
We serve all of Bielefeld – all ten city districts: Mitte, Schildesche, Brackwede, Heepen, Stieghorst, Sennestadt, Senne, Jöllenbeck, Dornberg and Gadderbaum. This includes locations around Sparrenburg castle and Bielefeld University as well as the quieter residential areas on the outskirts and along the Teutoburg Forest.
How early should I enquire about my move in Bielefeld?
We recommend enquiring about your move in Bielefeld 4–6 weeks in advance – earlier during the peak season from June to August. Thanks to our own teams and our own fleet, short-notice dates in Bielefeld and the Teutoburg Forest are often still possible.
Do you also offer senior, company and authority moves in Bielefeld?
Yes. In addition to private moves we carry out senior, company, office and authority moves in Bielefeld – including project coordination, IT relocation and file storage. For a senior move in Bielefeld we set up the new home completely on request, so you do not have to worry about a thing.
Can I also store furniture in Bielefeld?
Yes. If you want to store furniture, we keep your belongings in our own secured storage facilities short or long term – with no minimum term. A storage container (approx. 32.5 m³) holds about a 2–3-room household; storage rent starts at €50 per month. This is ideal for bridging the gap between two moves in Bielefeld.
Do I need a no-parking zone in Bielefeld's old town?
In the old town around the Altstädter Nicolaikirche, in the densely built-up Bielefeld West district and in narrow residential streets we recommend a no-parking zone – we apply for it with the City of Bielefeld’s public order office (Niederwall 23) and put up the signs in good time. In districts such as Sennestadt or Jöllenbeck with good parking it is often not necessary.
How long does a move within Bielefeld take?
Depending on the size of the home, 4–10 hours. Our professionals manage a 2-room flat in 4–6 hours and a 4-room move in 8–10 hours. Additional services such as furniture dismantling or packing, as well as difficult locations without a lift, can extend the duration of your move in Bielefeld.
Moving from Bielefeld to Paderborn or Gütersloh – what should I consider?
Both routes (around 40 km and 20 km respectively) are easily done in a day. Remember to re-register within 14 days and to switch electricity, internet and insurance. We organise transport and full service from packing to furniture assembly – from Bielefeld throughout the region and back.
Which documents do I need to re-register in Bielefeld?
At the citizens’ office of the City of Bielefeld you need your ID card or passport and the landlord’s confirmation of residence; for a family move also birth/marriage certificates. Re-registration must take place within 14 days of your move in Bielefeld and is free of charge.
How do I recognise a reputable moving company in Bielefeld?
By a transparent written fixed-price quote, permanent in-house staff instead of day labourers, adequate insurance cover and verifiable reviews. Hartmann International has been operating since 1856, is a member of AMÖ and is rated 4.86 out of 5 stars from 297 reviews – also for your moves in Bielefeld.
