Registration deadlines after moving to Rebstein
You usually register with your new municipality of residence within 14 days. eUmzug (online change of address) is often available for this, so you can register online.
It is best to place your Swiss Post forwarding order at least 4 working days before the move. You do not need to contact Serafe (radio/TV licence fee), as it receives the address automatically via the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office).

Moving to Rebstein: municipality, taxes and everyday life
The municipal tax rate of Rebstein is 108 % in 2026. For comparison in 2026: Balgach 61 %, Oberriet 95 % and St. Gallen 138 %. Rebstein is therefore lower than St. Gallen.
Parking on moving day
In the village core on the Pre-Alpine slope, there is little room for the removal van in front of many houses. We take care of the parking reservation free of charge, applied for via the responsible office in Rebstein, and the authority sends the permit fee directly to you.
Disposal and bulky waste
We take furniture and bulky items from Rebstein with us on moving day, at a rate of CHF 65.– per m³, plus labour. The Sammelstelle beim Werkhof (Feldstrasse 8) accepts recyclables in household quantities.
Moving costs Rebstein
Costs of moving to Rebstein in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley
Rebstein is around 75 km from Wallisellen as the crow flies. Since the journey there and back counts as working time with us, the distance to the Rhine Valley is a fixed part of the price; a cost ceiling provides clarity on request. Within the village, location matters: the village core lies on the slope of the Appenzell Pre-Alps, above it the terrain rises to the Lom at just over 680 m above sea level, and down on the plain it is flat.

Rebstein at a glance
Rebstein in brief: former wine village above the Rhine plain
For us, Rebstein is not just a dot on the map but a real place of work with its own routes, access roads and neighbourhoods. The municipality extends from the Rheintal inland canal in the east to the border of the Appenzeller Vorderland in the west. Rebstein is connected to the Rorschach–Chur railway line via Rebstein-Marbach station and is served by bus line 301 (RTB Rheintal Bus).
We also plan moves from Rebstein to a neighbouring municipality such as Balgach, Marbach SG, Reute AR and Oberriet as a one-stop moving company. Rebstein belongs to the Rheintal district in the canton of St. Gallen.

Getting to know Rebstein
Moving Company Rebstein: from the Pre-Alpine slopes to the Binnenkanal
The name gives away its origins: Rebstein used to be mainly a wine-growing village (Rebe means vine), and the coat of arms still shows a vine with blue grapes. In the 19th century embroidery displaced viticulture; today only 3 hectares remain. The vine- and crop-growing village became an industrial village, and where smallholders once farmed, larger farms and commercial areas emerged on the plain after the land improvement of the Rhine plain from 1941 to 1953.
Village core on the slope, businesses on the plain
The village core lies on the slopes of the Appenzell Pre-Alps. Uphill the terrain rises to the Lom at just over 680 m above sea level; downhill it falls to 407 m between the Rietaach and the Binnenkanal. The Ländernach and the Rebsteiner Bach flow through the plain. For a move this means:
- On the slope above the village core, we check the gradient, access and vehicle size.
- In the village core, we clarify the parking space and carrying route, with a parking reservation if needed.
- On the plain, where agriculture and businesses are located, we plan business relocations outside operating hours.
During the free viewing, on site or via WhatsApp video, we record these points for your address. You receive the quote within 24 hours.
Almost seamlessly joined to its neighbours
To the north, Rebstein has grown almost seamlessly together with Balgach, and to the south with Marbach; the Rappentobel ravine marks the boundary with Balgach. Reute AR borders to the west and Oberriet to the east. Rebstein has 4,494 inhabitants (as of 2018), who are known as Räbschter. Rebstein-Marbach station lies on the Rorschach–Chur line, and bus route 301 also runs here, successor to the Altstätten–Berneck tramway opened in 1897.
Because the boundaries are barely visible, a move to the neighbouring village is often only a short distance. As movers in Rebstein, we are also your removals company for Balgach, organise your move to Oberriet or travel along bus route 301 as a moving company in Altstätten.
Churches, brewery and a history of fires
Fires devastated the village in 1844, 1880 and 1891; the Catholic church of St. Sebastian by architect Fritz Metzger dates from 1960, the Reformed church from 1782. Jacob Rohner's embroidery business gained a worldwide reputation and merged into Forster Rohner AG in 1992. Sonnenbräu, the last private brewery in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley, brews in Rebstein. Our base in Wallisellen is around 75 km away as the crow flies. Your moving company in Rebstein also moves on Saturdays on request, with no Saturday surcharge, and takes care of furniture assembly, final cleaning and disposal.
Questions about Rebstein
How do you plan a move on the slope above Rebstein's village core?
The village core lies on the slopes of the Appenzell Pre-Alps, and the terrain rises to just over 680 m above sea level. During the viewing we check access, carrying route and the right vehicle size and decide whether a furniture lift is needed.
Do you also move households from Rebstein to Marbach or Balgach?
Yes. Rebstein has grown almost seamlessly together with Marbach to the south and Balgach to the north. We plan such moves across the municipal boundary like any other, with a viewing and a quote within 24 hours.
Local moving logistics
Removals in Rebstein: hillsides, village core and Rhine plain
Between the Lom and the Binnenkanal, there are almost 280 metres of altitude in Rebstein. Depending on whether your flat is on the slope, in the village or on the plain, we choose the vehicle and carrying route differently.
Hillside locations towards the Lom
In the north-east, the municipal area reaches just over 680 metres at the Lom. On steep, narrow access roads a large lorry may be unsuitable, so we determine the vehicle size during the viewing.
Village core on the Pre-Alpine slope
Even the village core lies on the slopes of the Appenzell Pre-Alps, and after three fires in the 19th century much was rebuilt. In front of houses with outdoor steps or a sloping forecourt, we determine the parking space and carrying route precisely.
Plain by the Ländernach and Binnenkanal
Down on the Rhine plain, as far as the Kalbwoad at 407 metres, the terrain is flat. Here the challenges tend to be access roads to farms and commercial buildings, which we check in advance for width and turning space.
Parking reservation
If the removal van needs a reserved space in the village core or on a narrow hillside street, we submit the application to the responsible office in Rebstein. The authority invoices you directly for the reservation fee.
Disposal
Sammelstelle beim Werkhof, Feldstrasse 8You can take small quantities of aluminium, cans or used oil yourself to the Sammelstelle beim Werkhof (collection point at the municipal depot) at Feldstrasse 8. We dispose of furniture and bulky items that are not coming along properly for CHF 65.– per m³.
B2B
Business relocations in the Rhine Valley industrial village
Rebstein became an industrial village in the 19th century, and today Sonnenbräu brews here. For commercial and industrial businesses we plan relocations outside operating hours, and move files as an archive relocation.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about moving in Rebstein and the surrounding area
Who helps seniors in Rebstein move into a care home?
Our removals team, with a viewing that goes at your pace. Together with relatives, we decide which furniture goes into the new room. We can store or dispose of the rest, and our carpenters set up the room so that familiar pieces stand in their usual place.
How are large wardrobes moved out of a hillside house towards the Lom?
Dismantled: our own carpenters take wardrobes and beds apart on site so they can be carried out safely, even over outdoor steps and narrow garden paths. At the new location they reassemble the furniture. You only empty the contents and clothes rails beforehand; we handle dismantling, carrying and assembly.
How do we move from Rebstein up to Reute in Appenzell?
With a vehicle that suits the access at the destination, because Reute lies above the Rhine Valley in the Appenzell Vorderland. You change canton, deregistering in Rebstein and registering in Reute. We look at both addresses beforehand so that the parking space, carrying route and team size are fixed before moving day.
Where do I dispose of household and garden waste around moving day in Rebstein?
General waste goes in fee-paying bags and the municipality's underground containers, and waste for collection may be put out no earlier than the evening before. According to the waste calendar, green waste is collected by the fee-paying green waste service on Tuesdays from 06.00. We load old furniture and bulky garden equipment on moving day and dispose of them properly.
Where can household goods stay until the new flat in the Rhine Valley is ready?
In our furniture storage facility. It is dry, climate-controlled and alarm-protected, and you decide how long. We load on moving-out day in Rebstein and deliver on the desired date to the new address, for example in Balgach or Altstätten, including furniture assembly by our carpenters.
When should everything be ready for moving day in Rebstein's village core?
The evening before: boxes closed and labelled, wardrobes empty, fridge defrosted and laundry dry. Place boxes near the exit without blocking the way. For houses with outdoor steps, clear away flower pots and shoe racks so we can carry safely even in the wet.
How much does piano transport from Rebstein to the neighbouring village cost?
From CHF 250.–, depending on the instrument, floors and access. A piano from a hillside flat with stairs involves more work than one from the ground floor on the plain. We look at the location and route during the viewing and list the price in the quote.
What precautions do pets need when moving to Rebstein?
A quiet place during loading, ideally with friends or at a pet-sitting service. In the new flat, set up the sleeping place, food and water first before the animal comes in. Cats are better kept indoors for the first few days until they know their new home.
