Moving company in Gelsenkirchen
Gelsenkirchen grew from two separate centres – Buer in the north and the old town in the south. We move in both, from Schäffle in Ückendorf to the new builds in Resse.
D&E Umzüge works throughout the entire city of Gelsenkirchen – in Buer, Horst, Erle, Schalke, Ückendorf and the surrounding districts. We carry out private and office moves, senior moves, furniture transport, storage as well as clearance and household clear-outs. After a free survey you receive a fixed-price quote.

Which districts of Gelsenkirchen do we work in?
Gelsenkirchen is large and very differently built up. In the north around Buer, detached and semi-detached houses with their own driveways dominate, while in the south around Ückendorf and Schalke the landscape is shaped by period apartment buildings – with everything that comes with them: narrow stairwells, high ceilings, no lift.

Planning
What matters when moving in Gelsenkirchen
Period buildings in the south
In Ückendorf, Schalke and the old town many apartments are on the third or fourth floor without a lift, with spiral staircases and narrow landings. Bulky furniture often does not fit through the stairwell. We establish in advance whether a furniture lift saves considerable time on the moving day.
Match days at the arena
On home match days you have to expect road closures and heavy traffic around the arena and the access roads in the north. We match the moving date against the fixture list and plan the arrival accordingly – a small thing that saves hours when it counts.
Long distances within the city
There are around twelve kilometres between Buer in the north and Rotthausen in the south. A move within Gelsenkirchen is therefore not automatically a short-distance move. We plan driving times realistically instead of improvising them on the day.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about moving in Gelsenkirchen
What influences the cost of a move in Gelsenkirchen?
The key factors are the volume of goods, the floor and lift situation, access to the building, the distance between the old and the new address, and additional services such as packing, assembly, storage or a no-parking zone. Instead of flat rates you receive a binding fixed price after the free survey.
Do you work in Buer as well as in the old town?
Yes, throughout the entire city. The planning does differ though: in Buer direct access is usually possible, while in the south we more often need a no-parking zone and sometimes an external lift.
Do you apply for the no-parking zone in Gelsenkirchen?
Yes, we handle the application and put up the signs. As the permit needs lead time, we should know as early as possible – especially in the densely built-up southern districts.
Is a furniture lift often necessary in Gelsenkirchen?
More often in the period-building districts than elsewhere. Whether it is worth it is decided during the survey, based on stairwell width, the turn required and the window size. More often than not the lift is the cheaper option, because the move goes significantly faster.
Do you also handle moves from Gelsenkirchen to Bochum or Essen?
Yes, regularly. Both routes are short, so the move is usually completed in a single day.
Can I book a move and a clearance together?
Yes. Anything you are keeping is moved, while the rest is cleared and properly disposed of – the same team, the same date, and the apartment is handed over swept clean.
