Moving in Kreuzlingen in 9 steps – from the harbour to the hillside
Border streets, old village centres and hillside locations: in Kreuzlingen, our team plans every move according to the location of both addresses, even if one of them is in Konstanz.
- 01
Contact and survey
You give us both addresses, we survey on site or by video and prepare the quote, on request also for a move across the border.
- 02
Applying for signage
We apply in writing to the Kreuzlingen Bauverwaltung (building administration) for the signage for your moving day; the authority charges the fee to you directly.
- 03
Loading time near the border
In the densely built-up north towards Konstanz, free space is scarce; we time the loading around the blue zone and keep the route to the house short.
- 04
Emmishofen and Kurzrickenbach
In the former village centres, we check the building entrance, stairs and lift and then decide how many movers and which vehicle will come on moving day.
- 05
Hillside locations in the south
If the address climbs towards the wooded hilltops, we clarify the gradient and turning space and, if needed, send a more manoeuvrable vehicle up the hill.
- 06
Packing with floor protection
Before carrying, we protect floors, lift and stairwell; furniture is wrapped in blankets and secured against slipping in the van.
- 07Optional
Customs papers for moves abroad
If the move goes to Konstanz or further into Germany, we prepare the inventory list with you and handle customs clearance for export and import.
- 08
Assembly at the new location
Whether Tägerwilen, Bottighofen or another part of town: our carpenters assemble the furniture, and every box goes into the labelled room.
- 09
Handover of the new flat
At the end, you check every room with us; we take the packaging away and agree when the empty boxes will be collected.

Moving Costs Kreuzlingen
What a removal in Kreuzlingen costs – from the lakeshore to the hillside
Kreuzlingen lies around 51 km as the crow flies from our base in Wallisellen; we count the outward and return journey as actual working time. On site, it is mainly the altitude that affects the effort: the harbour area lies at 397 m above sea level, and from there the town rises up former vineyard slopes. Where buildings are dense, the parking spot matters most. New customers receive a 20% discount, and the quote arrives within 24 hours.

Kreuzlingen at a glance
Kreuzlingen on Lake Constance: border town next to Konstanz
Every move in Kreuzlingen starts with us looking at the local conditions: access, floors, parking and the route to the removal van. Kreuzlingen lies in the north of the canton of Thurgau on the shore of Lake Constance, south-east of the German city of Konstanz. To the north, the national border with Germany runs right through a densely built-up area; the A7 junctions Kreuzlingen Süd and Kreuzlingen Nord are within the town.
Whether in the centre or in Bernrain, Egelshofen, Emmishofen and Kurzrickenbach: we clarify access and space conditions during the on-site survey before every move. Kreuzlingen belongs to the district of Kreuzlingen in the canton of Thurgau.

Getting to know Kreuzlingen
Moving company Kreuzlingen: removals in the largest Swiss town on Lake Constance
Kreuzlingen is the second-largest town in Thurgau and the largest Swiss town on Lake Constance. On 31 December 2023 it had 23,074 inhabitants; together with Konstanz and the smaller neighbouring municipalities, it forms a conurbation of around 130,000 people. In the north, the national border with Germany runs right through densely built-up areas.
From four villages to a town
As late as the beginning of the 19th century, today's centre was largely farmland, meadows and vineyards; there were only 13 houses around the monastery. In the 20th century, the town grew together with these districts:
- Egelshofen, the original municipality, renamed Kreuzlingen in 1874
- Kurzrickenbach in the east, mentioned as early as 830 as Rihinbah, part of the town since 1927
- Emmishofen in the west, part of the town since 1928
- Bernrain
In 1947 Kreuzlingen officially became a town when its 10,000th inhabitant was registered. For us as a moving company in Kreuzlingen, the mix of old village centres and dense development means that we clarify the parking spot and carrying route individually for each address, and we organise the parking reservation.
From the lake to the hillsides
The harbour area lies at 397 m above sea level. From there, the town rises up hillsides once covered in vines, with woods on the hilltops to the south. Anyone moving from the lakeshore to the hillside or vice versa will find very different conditions on moving day. During the free survey, on site or via WhatsApp video, we therefore check access, floors and vehicle size.
The site of the former Bellevue sanatorium, which existed from 1857 to 1980 under four generations of the Binswanger family, is also a residential area today: residential buildings were built there in the 1990s.
Abbey, seminary and border history
The town takes its name from the Augustinian canons' abbey, recorded in 1125 as «Crucelin», by the little cross. It has stood on its current site since 1650; after secularisation, the teacher training college moved in, and today it is the Pädagogische Maturitätsschule (upper secondary school). From 1942 to August 2006, a border fence separated the area between Kreuzlingen and Konstanz.
The railway lines to Romanshorn (1871) and Etzwilen (1875) attracted trade and industry. For offices, practices and shops, we handle office relocations outside business hours, including furniture assembly. Our base in Wallisellen is around 51 km away as the crow flies.
To the west, Kreuzlingen borders the Tägermoos and Tägerwilen, with Bottighofen to the east. We are equally happy to help with a move to Tägerwilen or as a removals firm for Romanshorn along the lakeside railway. Your movers in Kreuzlingen prepare the quote within 24 hours.
Questions about Kreuzlingen
Do you also do removals to Emmishofen, Egelshofen and Kurzrickenbach?
Yes. Egelshofen, Emmishofen, Kurzrickenbach and Bernrain are now districts of the town of Kreuzlingen. For each address, we clarify the parking spot, access and carrying route during the survey.
How do you plan a move in the densely built-up neighbourhoods on the border?
In the north, the border with Germany runs right through densely built-up areas. There we fix the parking spot in advance, organise the parking reservation and, where space is tight, use a furniture lift if needed.
Local moving logistics
Kreuzlingen: removal logistics at the border, lakeshore and hillside
Kreuzlingen stretches from the harbour area on Lake Constance to wooded hilltops in the south, and in the north it borders directly on Konstanz. These locations determine how we plan the parking spot, vehicle and carrying route.
Densely built-up area on the border with Konstanz
In the north, the national border runs right through residential and shopping streets. Free roadside space is rare there, so we have the parking spot signposted and coordinate loading times with the blue zone.
Emmishofen in the west, Kurzrickenbach in the east
Both were once separate municipalities and grew together with Kreuzlingen into one town in the 20th century. We check the building entrance, stairwell width and lift dimensions before deciding on the number of movers and the vehicle.
Hillside locations towards the wooded hilltops in the south
From the lakeshore at 397 m above sea level, the town climbs former vineyard slopes. For addresses on the hillside, we clarify the gradient, turning options and carrying distance so that the right vehicle arrives.
Parking reservation
Bauverwaltung KreuzlingenIn Kreuzlingen, signage on public ground, for example for a no-stopping zone on moving day, is applied for in writing at the Bauverwaltung (building administration). We submit this application for you, and the authority charges you the fee.
Disposal
Entsorgungszentrum RAZ Kreuzlingen, Maurerstrasse 3You can hand in individual larger items from your household yourself at the regional RAZ waste disposal centre at Maurerstrasse 3. If more accumulates during the clear-out, we dispose of it properly at CHF 65.– per m³.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about moving in Kreuzlingen
Who carries a piano into an older flat in Emmishofen or Egelshofen?
Our team handles piano transport from CHF 250.–. The instrument is padded, carried safely through the stairwell and secured in the van. In older houses in Kreuzlingen's former village centres, we check stair width and bends beforehand so that the route upstairs works safely on moving day.
How does the removal van reach an address in Konstanz old town just across the border?
With a parking spot that we apply for in advance from the responsible office in Konstanz. Because Kreuzlingen adjoins the medieval centre directly, the journey is short, but space in front of the building in the old centre can be tight. We therefore plan a compact van and enough movers, and also take care of complete customs clearance for export and import.
How do you charge for a move within Kreuzlingen?
In 15-minute increments based on the time actually needed, with a minimum duration of 3 hours. If you prefer a fixed framework, you can receive a cost ceiling or a flat rate on request after the free survey. That way you know before moving day the maximum you need to budget for.
Where should my passport and documents be when moving from Kreuzlingen to Konstanz?
With you, not in the removal van. ID documents, tenancy agreement, receipts for more valuable furniture and appliances, as well as the pet passport and vaccination record belong in a separate folder that you take across the border yourself. That way they are immediately to hand if there are any queries.
When can household goods from Kreuzlingen enter Germany if I have not yet registered there?
According to German customs, even before you transfer your residence, provided you undertake to establish your residence in the EU within six months. If the flat in Konstanz is not yet ready to move into, your household goods stay in our dry, climate-controlled and alarm-secured warehouse until then.
What does not count as duty-free removal goods when moving from Kreuzlingen to Konstanz?
According to German customs, alcoholic products, tobacco and tobacco products as well as commercial vehicles are excluded, as are items used for business purposes. You should therefore list wine, spirits or workshop materials separately on the inventory list and clarify the duties with customs in advance.
What do I need to do if I move the other way, from Konstanz to Kreuzlingen?
In that case your household goods are imported into Switzerland, even if the new flat is only a few streets away. We prepare the inventory list with you and handle the complete customs clearance. At the destination in Kreuzlingen, we apply for the parking spot and assemble the furniture with our own carpenters.
What should I look out for with the residential buildings on the former Bellevue site?
The lift, building entrances and the route through the development: the buildings on the former sanatorium grounds date from the 1990s. We measure the lift car and doors, line the lift with protection and clarify how close the van may drive to your entrance without blocking the neighbours' access.
