Your move in Affoltern am Albis in 6 steps
Town centre, industrial area or hamlet: in Affoltern am Albis the process depends heavily on the address. This is how we plan your moving day in the Knonauer Amt.
- 01
Survey at your home
Whether a flat in the Hedingerfeld or a farmhouse in Ferenbach: we look at access, floors and space for the van on site or by video.
- 02
Application for the parking space
If the van needs space on the street, we take care of the reservation with the town's responsible office. The fee comes as a separate invoice from the authority.
- 03
Loading time near the Lindenmoos
If you live near the shopping centres in the Lindenmoos or by the industrial area, we load when there is less delivery and customer traffic about, wherever possible.
- 04
The right vehicle for Zwillikon
For houses in Zwillikon or in scattered hamlets such as Lochhof, we decide whether a smaller van should cover the last stretch to the house.
- 05
Assembly at the new address
Whether in Obfelden, Hedingen or in the Unterdorf: at the destination we carry everything into the right rooms and reassemble wardrobes, beds and shelves.
- 06
Clearing up and handover
We take old furniture away with us; small amounts of separated waste you take to ZEN-Entsorgung with your disposal card. On request we hand over your old flat cleaned.

Moving in Affoltern am Albis: what we pay attention to
Affoltern am Albis lies between the wooded Albis ridge and the Reuss valley, with neighbourhoods such as Unterdorf and Oberdorf in the centre and Zwillikon to the north-east. Anyone moving in the historic village centre will be familiar with the narrower access roads, while in the growing Hedingerfeld neighbourhood on the border with Hedingen, newer buildings with more generous access predominate. The Affoltern am Albis municipal police are responsible for no-parking zones on public land, and we take care of the application for you.
Since the A4 junction opened in 2009 and the Uetliberg tunnel put Zurich within around 15 minutes' reach, traffic around the access roads has increased noticeably. In the industrial quarter in the south and around Lindenmoos, with shopping centres such as Coopark, Jumbo and Manor, there is more commercial traffic during the day. The Jonenbach stream, which flows through the town, has been better regulated since the flood retention basin was built between 2005 and 2007, which has eased earlier flooding problems.
For the Private Move we clarify access and the no-parking zone with you in advance; for the Corporate relocation we coordinate the schedule with your business hours. Both with a cost ceiling, with no surprises on moving day.
Getting to know Affoltern am Albis
Moving company Affoltern am Albis – at the heart of the Knonauer Amt
Since 1837 Affoltern has been the capital of the district that used to be called the Knonauer Amt and is known colloquially as the Söiliamt. It is the most populous municipality and the economic and cultural centre of the region. Affoltern has had more than 10,000 inhabitants since 2001, with 12,226 at the end of 2018, and since 1 July 2018 the municipality has officially called itself a town.
Grown together from four civil communities
In the 19th century the political municipality was still divided into the civil communities of Ober- and Unteraffoltern, Zwillikon and Loo-Fehrenbach. This origin still shapes the municipality today: the Unterdorf stretches west to the Oberdorf below the Mühliberg, Zwillikon lies on its own in the north-east, and the hamlets of Loo, Ferenbach, Lochhof and Weid are scattered across the open countryside. Around 40 per cent of the land is farmland and just under a quarter is built-up.
For a removals company in Affoltern am Albis, this mix of town districts and hamlets means:
- In the Ober- and Unterdorf we fix the parking space and carrying route during the free survey.
- For hamlets such as Lochhof or Weid we clarify access and vehicle size before sending the quote within 24 hours.
- Where the stairwell is too narrow for wardrobes or sofas, we plan in a furniture lift.
Between the Albis and the Reuss
Affoltern lies on wooded ridges between the Albis chain and the Reuss, shaped by the Reuss glacier. The nearest mountain is the densely wooded Aeugsterberg at 829 metres, and to the east lies the higher neighbouring municipality of Aeugst am Albis. To the south-east the Jonental opens up, with the watershed to the Reppischtal. If you are moving between the valley floor and the slope, careful planning of vehicle and walking route pays off.
The name itself tells of the landscape: it goes back to the Old High German affaltra, the apple tree. Burial mounds from the Hallstatt period were found on the Müliberg and in the Äspli. Around the turn of the first millennium, a wayside chapel measuring just four by four metres stood on the site of today's Reformed church; its floor plan came to light during the renovation in 1975.
Removals within the district
Affoltern borders Hedingen and Stallikon to the north, Aeugst am Albis to the east, Mettmenstetten to the south and Obfelden, Ottenbach and Jonen to the west. For a move in Mettmenstetten or as movers for Obfelden, distances stay short. Our base in Wallisellen is around 18 km away as the crow flies.
On request, your movers in Affoltern am Albis also take care of furniture assembly, furniture storage, disposal and end-of-tenancy cleaning, and we move on Saturdays too, with no Saturday surcharge.
Questions about Affoltern am Albis
Do you also move to the hamlets of Loo, Ferenbach, Lochhof and Weid?
Yes. Besides Affoltern and Zwillikon, the hamlets of Loo, Ferenbach, Lochhof and Weid belong to the municipality. For addresses outside the centre we clarify access and vehicle size during the survey.
Do you handle moves from Affoltern up to Aeugst am Albis?
Yes. Aeugst am Albis lies east of Affoltern and higher up on the Albis. For a move like this we check both addresses during the survey and set the vehicle, parking space and carrying route.
Local moving logistics
Removals in Affoltern am Albis: from the Hedingerfeld to the Jonental
Affoltern am Albis combines a growing neighbourhood on the border with Hedingen, the industrial area in the south and Zwillikon in the north-east. Each of these locations has its own points to consider for access and parking when you move.
Hedingerfeld on the border with Hedingen
The Hedingerfeld is growing steadily, and in some places Affoltern and Hedingen have already merged. In newer developments we check the lift, entrance and possible parking space in front of the building, so that the route from the removal van to the flat stays short.
Zwillikon in the north-east
Zwillikon belongs to the town but forms a separate village outside the centre. For houses there we clarify the approach and decide whether a smaller vehicle makes sense for the last section to the house.
Industrial area and Jonental in the south
To the south lie the industrial area and, between the Jonental and Reppischtal, the plain of the Jonenbach. Here we separate residential addresses from business addresses in our planning, because access and loading times need to be clarified differently for each.
Parking reservation
Where the removal van needs to stand on public ground, we apply for the parking reservation at the responsible office in Affoltern am Albis. We handle the application and coordination; the authority charges you the fee directly.
Disposal
Sammelstelle ZEN-Entsorgung, Lindenmoosstrasse 9You can drop off separated waste yourself at the Sammelstelle ZEN-Entsorgung (collection point) at Lindenmoosstrasse 9. You need the disposal card that new residents receive when registering at the Einwohneramt (residents' office). We dispose of furniture properly for CHF 65.– per m³.

Frequently asked questions
Questions and answers about moving in Affoltern am Albis
Who should be told before moving day in an apartment building in the Hedingerfeld?
Ideally the caretaker or property management and your immediate neighbours. That way the building knows when the lift and entrance will be occupied for longer, and nobody parks in front of the door. We bring our own protection for the lift car, stairs and floors and remove it again after the last piece of furniture.
How do you move out of an older house in Affoltern's Unterdorf or Oberdorf?
With a team matched to the carrying route: where the van cannot get right up to the house, two people take turns covering the distance while others dismantle and pack in the flat. We protect narrow stairs with edge guards and blankets, and bulky pieces such as sideboards or wardrobes go out via the furniture lift if needed.
What should I watch out for when moving from the Hedingerfeld across the boundary to Hedingen?
The boundary itself, which you can hardly see in the neighbourhood: even though the houses have merged, you are changing municipality. We clarify the parking space at the new house with the responsible office in Hedingen, and you deregister in Affoltern. For the short distance, a single load without a stop usually suffices.
When is furniture storage worthwhile if my flat in Affoltern becomes free later?
When moving out and moving in cannot happen on the same day, for example with a development in the Hedingerfeld that is not yet ready for occupation. We collect your household goods and store them dry, climate-controlled and alarm-protected until we bring them to your new flat on the agreed day and set them up there.
How much does a small move from Loo to the centre of Affoltern cost?
Only the time actually worked: we bill in 15-minute increments, with a minimum of 3 hours. For short distances within the municipality, for example from the hamlet of Loo to the station, there is hardly any travel time. If you want an upper limit, we agree a cost ceiling after the survey.
Which businesses in Affoltern's industrial area benefit from an IT relocation?
Above all businesses with servers, networked workstations or measuring equipment. In an IT and laboratory relocation we dismantle equipment in an orderly way, pack it padded and put it back in place at the new site, so your IT can be reconnected quickly, ideally outside working hours.
How should I prepare the fridge and washing machine for a move in Affoltern?
Empty the fridge and defrost it the day before so that no water leaks, run the washing machine empty and fit the transport bolts if you have them. It is best to tie hoses and cables to the appliance; we then carry both safely to the removal van and put them in the right place in your new flat.
