Moving in Diepoldsau-Schmitter: your move in 8 steps
Between the Rhine cut and the Old Rhine, the journey, the space in front of the building and the floor are what count. This is how we plan your move in Diepoldsau step by step.
- 01
Survey without a long journey
For flats in Diepoldsau or Schmitter you are welcome to show us the rooms by video; that way we record the amount of furniture, stairs and access without an on-site appointment.
- 02
Timing moving day sensibly
Because our team travels from Wallisellen, we set the loading start and the order of addresses so that the day in the Rhine Valley runs without idle time.
- 03
Space for the removal van
If there is not enough room in front of your building, we organise a parking reservation; you pay the permit fee directly to the authority, not to us.
- 04
Boxes delivered to your door
Two to three weeks before the date we deliver free moving boxes and packing material, so that you can empty wardrobes, cellar and bookshelves bit by bit.
- 05
Padding and loading
The stairwell, lift and floors are protected, delicate items wrapped in blankets and film and strapped down in the van before the journey begins.
- 06
Across the Rhine bridge
Whether to neighbouring Widnau or back towards Zurich: the load crosses the Rhine secured and insured, and short trips within the Rhine Valley are done in the same job.
- 07Optional
Furniture lift if needed
If a sofa or wardrobe does not fit through the stairwell or lift of the apartment building, we lift it into the flat over the balcony or through a window with the furniture lift.
- 08
Assembly and final round
Our carpenters put beds and wardrobes back up, we take packaging leftovers with us and walk through all the rooms with you before the team drives back.
Moving to Diepoldsau
Diepoldsau: deadlines for registration
After moving to Diepoldsau you generally register with the municipality within 14 days, often online via eUmzug. The municipality of Diepoldsau provides further information on moving in on its website.
Your mail forwarding order with Swiss Post should be placed 4 working days before moving day or earlier. You do not need to deal with Serafe (radio/TV licence fee), because the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office) passes on your address automatically.
New in Diepoldsau
Moving to Diepoldsau: taxes compared
Anyone moving to Diepoldsau pays a tax rate of the political municipality of 85 % in 2026. For comparison in 2026: Widnau 76 %, Balgach 61 %, Oberriet 95 % and St. Gallen 138 %. Diepoldsau is therefore lower than St. Gallen.
Parking on moving day
If there is not enough space in front of your building in Diepoldsau or Schmitter, we apply for a parking reservation free of charge with the responsible office in Diepoldsau; you will later be invoiced only for the authority's fee.
Disposal and bulky waste
Any furniture and bulky items that are not coming across the Rhine with you, we load directly during the move. We charge CHF 65.– per m³, plus the time for loading.
Moving costs Diepoldsau
How much does it cost to move to Diepoldsau in the Rhine Valley?
Diepoldsau is around 80 km as the crow flies from our base in Wallisellen. Because we charge by actual working time and the journey there and back is included, the distance makes up a larger share of the price here than for short distances. On site, the space in front of the building, the carrying route and the floor are decisive, with a furniture lift if required. With a cost ceiling, the amount still remains predictable.
| Apartment Size | Example price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 1.5 rooms | from CHF 560.–Diepoldsau → Widnau, approx. 2 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 2 – 2.5 rooms | from CHF 870.–Diepoldsau → Balgach, approx. 4 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 3 – 3.5 rooms | from CHF 1'020.–Diepoldsau → Rebstein, approx. 5 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 4 – 4.5 rooms | from CHF 1'530.–Diepoldsau → Au, approx. 6 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 5 – 5.5 rooms | from CHF 1'860.–Diepoldsau → St. Margrethen, approx. 8 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 6 – 6.5 rooms | from CHF 2'070.–Diepoldsau → Altstätten, approx. 8 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
All prices include insurance and exclude 8.1% VAT. Guide values are based on average effort; the exact amount is determined during the free on-site survey and invoiced according to actual working time, including travel to and from the site.

Diepoldsau at a glance
Diepoldsau between two courses of the Rhine at a glance
Every move in Diepoldsau starts with us taking a look at the local conditions: access, floors, parking and the route to the removal van. Diepoldsau lies mostly east of the Rhine, which was rerouted here in 1923 with the Diepoldsau Rhine cut. The Old Rhine forms the national border with Austria.
Whether in the centre or in Schmitter: we clarify access and space conditions during the survey before every move. In addition to Diepoldsau itself, we also operate in the neighbouring municipalities of Widnau, Balgach and Oberriet. Diepoldsau belongs to the Rheintal constituency in the canton of St. Gallen.

Getting to know Diepoldsau
Moving company Diepoldsau: the village between the new and the Old Rhine
On 18 April 1923 the Rhine near Diepoldsau was diverted into a new bed. Since this cut, most of the municipality has lain east of the river, and the Old Rhine forms the national border with Austria. The Tippilzouwer, as the residents are called, therefore live between two courses of the Rhine. Anyone moving here from Widnau, Balgach or Oberriet crosses the Rhine with the removal van.
Diepoldsau has 6,471 residents (as of 2018); the 5,000 mark was first passed in 2000. It is around 80 km as the crow flies from our base in Wallisellen. As your moving company in Diepoldsau, we therefore agree the journey and date with you in advance.
Diepoldsau and Schmitter
The political municipality unites two local communities that historically grew out of farmsteads: Diepoldsau and Schmitter. That is why people often speak of Diepoldsau-Schmitter. Schmitter even owns land on the Austrian side in Lustenau, the so-called Schweizer Ried. For us the whole municipality is one service area, whether you live in the village centre, near the Kirchenfeld school or towards the Kleewies secondary school.
What we clarify before the move
The village has an eventful history: in 1868, 23 houses burned down, and in 1888 and 1889 the Rhine dykes burst. Since 1932 the municipality has had its own groundwater supply, and in 1994 the administration moved into the new Gemeindehaus (town hall). For your move today, what counts most is the space in front of the building. During the free survey, on site or via WhatsApp video, we note:
- where the removal van can stop and whether a parking reservation is needed
- how long the carrying route from the vehicle to the flat is
- whether a furniture lift makes sense for upper floors
- whether furniture assembly, end-of-tenancy cleaning or disposal should be added
The Steuerfuss (municipal tax rate) sometimes also plays a role when moving here: in 2026 it is 85% in the political municipality of Diepoldsau, 76% in Widnau, 61% in Balgach and 95% in Oberriet.
Neighbours on both sides of the border
To the west Diepoldsau borders Widnau, Balgach and Oberriet, and on the other side of the Old Rhine Lustenau, Hohenems and Altach. Right on this border lies the Strandbad am Alten Rhein lido, opened in 1931. We are also there for moves within the Rhine Valley: as movers for Widnau, for a move in Balgach or as a removal company in Oberriet. On request, your movers in Diepoldsau will schedule moving day on a Saturday, with no Saturday surcharge.
Questions about Diepoldsau
Do you also do removals to Schmitter?
Yes. Schmitter is one of the two local communities of the political municipality of Diepoldsau, which is therefore often called Diepoldsau-Schmitter. We clarify the parking spot and carrying route there during the survey, just as in the rest of the village.
How do you get to Diepoldsau when it lies on the other side of the Rhine?
Since the Rhine cut of 1923, most of Diepoldsau lies east of the Rhine, while the neighbouring municipalities of Widnau, Balgach and Oberriet lie to the west of it. We factor the journey across the Rhine into our planning and set the date so that moving day runs without stress.
Local moving logistics
Moving in Diepoldsau: between Schmitter, Kirchenfeld and the Old Rhine
Diepoldsau lies mostly east of the Rhine cut built in 1923, and the Old Rhine forms the border with Austria. For your move, the approach across the Rhine, the space in front of the building and the exact location within the village are what count.
Local community of Schmitter
Alongside Diepoldsau, Schmitter is the second of the local communities that historically grew out of farmsteads. When moving between the two parts of the village the distance stays short, but we still check the parking spot and stairwell at both addresses individually.
Around Kirchenfeld and Kleewies
Kirchenfeld is home to a school and a multi-purpose hall, Kleewies to the secondary school. For addresses near such school grounds, we position the parking spot so that school routes and access roads remain clear.
On the Old Rhine
Along the Old Rhine, where the lido is also located, runs the national border with Lustenau, Hohenems and Altach. For flats close to the border we clarify access and turning space for the removal van during the survey.
Parking reservation
If there is too little space in front of the building, we organise the parking reservation with the responsible office in Diepoldsau. We submit the application in good time before moving day, and the authority bills the fee to you directly.
Disposal
Small amounts of glass, cardboard or metal are best taken to the municipal collection point yourself. Any furniture and household items that are not coming with you, we dispose of properly for CHF 65.– per m³.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked: moving to Diepoldsau
Who helps clear out when parents in Diepoldsau move into a smaller flat?
Our team, and at a pace that suits your parents. Beforehand we go through together which furniture will fit into the new flat. On moving day we pack, carry and assemble, and whatever no longer has a place leaves Diepoldsau with us straight away for proper disposal.
How do you prepare a move into the Wiednau care home in Diepoldsau?
With a joint walk through the current flat: we measure the new room and decide which favourite pieces will fit. On moving day we bring only this furniture to the Wiednau, set it up and hang pictures on request. The rest goes into storage, to the family or to proper disposal.
How does a move from Diepoldsau across the Old Rhine to Lustenau work?
As an international move to Austria: we draw up an inventory list with you and handle the complete customs clearance, i.e. the export from Switzerland and the import into Austria. Packing, transport and assembly at your new home in Lustenau, Hohenems or Altach are done by the same team.
Where do my belongings go if the new flat in Schmitter is not free until weeks later?
They are stored in our dry, climate-controlled warehouse, which is secured by an alarm. We collect everything on moving-out day, store it and bring it to Schmitter on the moving-in date. Storage is charged per m³ per month, so only for the volume actually stored.
How much does it cost to move a piano within Diepoldsau or to Widnau?
From CHF 250.– for a piano. On the short trip across the Rhine to Widnau, it is hardly the distance that counts but the effort inside the building: floor, staircase width and turns. We look at these points during the survey and then give you the exact price in the quote.
What do we need to do if we move within the municipality from the village to Schmitter?
Even this short change is a move that you report to the municipality; Diepoldsau's online counter has a dedicated form for it. We plan both addresses as one job, so that the van is loaded only once. If time allows, our carpenters assemble the furniture in Schmitter on the same day.
Why do you bill a move from Diepoldsau in 15-minute increments?
So that you only pay for the time actually worked and not for a started hour. The minimum duration of a job is three hours; after that, every quarter of an hour counts. If loading in Diepoldsau goes faster than planned, the amount drops accordingly.
What formalities apply when moving from Hohenems or Altach to Diepoldsau?
Your household goods are exported from Austria and imported into Switzerland, even though only the Old Rhine lies in between. We draw up an inventory list with you and handle customs clearance on both sides. After moving in you register in Diepoldsau; the customer portal shows the remaining steps.
What work is left for me after moving out in Diepoldsau if you also do the cleaning?
Practically none: after the end-of-tenancy cleaning, our team is on site for the flat handover with the landlord or property management. If defects are pointed out, we fix them immediately and free of charge. So you need to organise neither a second cleaning appointment nor a follow-up inspection.
