Moving in Au SG in 6 steps – between the Heldsberg and the Rhine
Village, hamlet or Heerbrugg district: in Au, the exact address determines the stopping place, municipality and vehicle. This is how we go about it, step by step.
- 01
Pinpointing the address
Haslach, Monstein or Heerbrugg: we first check which municipality your flat belongs to, carry out a free survey and then send you the quote.
- 02
Reservation with the right municipality
If the house is in the Heerbrugg part of Berneck, Balgach or Widnau, we apply for the space there; for the village itself, with the responsible office in Au.
- 03
Packing and padding
We drop off boxes and packing material; on moving day we pad the lift and stairwell and lay floor protection in both flats.
- 04
Driving through the Rhine valley
Where the Heldsberg and the Rhine hem the village in, there is little room; for the hamlet of Oberfahr we choose the vehicle based on road width and turning space.
- 05
Assembly at the new address
Our carpenters put wardrobes and beds back together; businesses around Heerbrugg station are relocated in the evening or at the weekend.
- 06
Clearing and handing over
On request we take furniture that has no new place straight away, and after the optional final cleaning you hand over the old flat with a handover guarantee.
Moving to Au
Au SG: registering and deregistering without missing a deadline
In the canton of St. Gallen, you normally register at your new place of residence within 14 days, often online via eUmzug. In the Au part of Heerbrugg, check beforehand which municipality is responsible for your address.
Swiss Post redirects your letters if you place the forwarding order no later than 4 working days before moving day. With Serafe (radio/TV licence fee) there is nothing to do; it receives the new address automatically via the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office).
New in Au
Moving to Au: Steuerfuss (municipal tax rate) and comparison with neighbours
For 2026, the municipal tax rate in Au is 99 %. For comparison in 2026: Balgach 61 %, St. Margrethen 109 %, Widnau 76 % and St. Gallen 138 %. Au is therefore lower than St. Gallen.
Parking on moving day
If there is no room for the removal truck in front of your house in Haslach or Monstein, we arrange a stopping place free of charge. The application goes to the responsible office in Au, and the authority then invoices you for the permit fee.
Disposal and bulky waste
Discarded furniture and bulky waste from your flat in Au we load up on moving day. We charge CHF 65.– per m³ for this, plus the time spent carrying and loading.
Moving costs Au
Moving in Au SG: what the price depends on
Au is about 78 km as the crow flies from our base in Wallisellen, and with us the journey there and back counts as working time. With just 471 hectares, the village is densely built up, so the stopping place has a big influence on how long the job takes. Between the valley floor at the Binnenkanal and the slope towards the Meldegg, carrying distances and vehicle size also differ. In the Au part of Heerbrugg we check the exact address in advance. A cost ceiling is also possible.

|---|---|---|
| 1 – 1.5 rooms | from CHF 560.–Au → St. Margrethen, approx. 2 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 2 – 2.5 rooms | from CHF 870.–Au → Widnau, approx. 4 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 3 – 3.5 rooms | from CHF 1'010.–Au → Balgach, approx. 4 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 4 – 4.5 rooms | from CHF 1'530.–Au → Rebstein, approx. 5 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 5 – 5.5 rooms | from CHF 1'840.–Au → Diepoldsau, approx. 6 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 6 – 6.5 rooms | from CHF 2'050.–Au → Thal, approx. 6 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.

Au between the Heldsberg and the Rhine at a glance

Au lies in the Alpine Rhine Valley in the St. Gallen Rheintal region, on the western bank of the Alpine Rhine. It has had a rail connection on the Rorschach–Sargans line since 1858, with Au and Heerbrugg stations.

Getting to know Au
Moving company Au: a village at the narrow point between the Heldsberg and the Rhine
Au grew up at a narrow point of the Rhine valley, squeezed between the Heldsberg hill and the Rhine. Today's village developed from the old settlements of Au, Haslach, Hard and Monstein, and was first mentioned in 1316 as Diken Auwe. Anyone looking for a flat here will find it on a municipal area of just 471 hectares, shared by 7,788 inhabitants (as of 2018). Almost half of this, 229 hectares, is built-up land, and there are even vines growing on 6 hectares. For a moving company in Au, one thing therefore matters above all: the right stopping place.
Two village centres in one municipality
The municipality consists of two parts. On the one hand there is Au village with Haslach, Hard and Monstein; on the other, part of Heerbrugg, the centre of the Middle Rhine valley, which also extends into Berneck, Balgach and Widnau. As early as 1990, 3,370 people lived in Au village and 2,408 in the Au part of Heerbrugg. Off to the south-east lies the hamlet of Oberfahr, whose name goes back to the upper ferry across the Rhine.
In Heerbrugg in particular, it is not always obvious at first glance which municipality an address belongs to. That is why we ask for the exact address with every enquiry, so that planning and quote are correct.
Heerbrugg station and industry
Since 1858 the municipality has had two stations on the Rorschach–Sargans line, Au and Heerbrugg; Heerbrugg station stands on Au land. An industrial area grew up around it, which Au shares with Balgach, Berneck and Widnau. For businesses there, we offer:
- office relocation outside business hours, in the evening or at the weekend
- stopping place and carrying route to the delivery entrance agreed during the free survey
- disposal of old furniture and furniture storage if required
From the Meldegg to the Binnenkanal
The highest point is the Meldegg at 652 m above sea level, the lowest the Binnenkanal (inland canal) on the border with St. Margrethen at 401 m. Between the valley floor and the hillside, the routes to the front door differ, and we base vehicle size and carrying distance on that. There is also a special place in the village: since 2005, a memorial plaque at Kirchweg 4 has commemorated Paul Grüninger, who lived here with his wife Alice from 1955 to 1972.
From Wallisellen, Au is about 78 km away as the crow flies. If you are moving within the Rhine valley, we are also your removals company for Balgach, organise a move in Widnau or help as movers for St. Margrethen. Whether Au village or Heerbrugg: as your moving company in Au, we take the same time over planning for every address.
Questions about Au
Do you also do removals to the Au part of Heerbrugg?
Yes. Heerbrugg extends across Au, Berneck, Balgach and Widnau, and Heerbrugg station is also on Au land. When you enquire, we check which side of the municipal boundary your address is on and plan stopping place and carrying distance accordingly.
Do you handle moves to Oberfahr and Monstein?
Yes. The hamlet of Oberfahr south-east of the village centre and the Monstein district both belong to the municipality of Au. We discuss access and vehicle size during the free survey, on site or by WhatsApp video.
Local moving logistics
Removal logistics in Au: the village, Heerbrugg and the hamlet of Oberfahr
Au is divided into the village with Haslach, Hard and Monstein and part of Heerbrugg. On just 471 hectares, residential streets, industry and the Rhine bank alternate, so we plan every address individually.
Au village with Haslach, Hard and Monstein
The three old settlements have grown together into today's village at the narrow point between the Heldsberg and the Rhine. Because space there is tight, we determine the stopping place before the quote and arrange the reservation if needed.
The Au part of Heerbrugg
Heerbrugg extends beyond Au into Berneck, Balgach and Widnau, and the station stands on Au land. For addresses like these, we record which side of the municipal boundary they are on so that the reservation goes to the right municipality.
The hamlet of Oberfahr
Oberfahr lies somewhat apart, south-east of the village centre, at the site of the former upper Rhine ferry. For access to the hamlet we check road width and turning space before deciding on the vehicle size.
Parking reservation
If the removal truck needs public ground, we submit the reservation to the responsible office in Au. If the address belongs to the Heerbrugg part of a neighbouring municipality, we contact its administration; in each case the authority charges the fee.
Disposal
Furniture that no longer has a place after the move we take with us and dispose of properly for CHF 65.– per m³. Glass, aluminium or paper in household quantities you take to the collection point of the municipality of Au yourself.
B2B

Frequently asked questions
Questions about moving in Au and Heerbrugg
Who arranges the stopping places when I move from Au village to the Widnau part of Heerbrugg?
We take care of it for both addresses: for moving out in the village we submit the application to the responsible office in Au, and for the new flat to the municipality of Widnau. We book both reservations for the same moving day. The fee is charged in each case by the authority that approves the space.
How do you move a house on the slope towards the Meldegg with a long path to the front door?
With a vehicle that can get as close to the entrance as possible and enough carriers in the team. Our carpenters dismantle large wardrobes and beds beforehand so they stay manageable. If the stairwell is narrow, we look at a furniture lift via the balcony or window. The free survey shows which of these are needed.
Where does the removal truck stop in the hamlet of Oberfahr if a large lorry cannot turn?
In that case we use a smaller vehicle that can get closer to your house, and plan additional staff for the rest of the way. Our carpenters take bulky furniture apart on site and put it back together in the new flat, so it can be carried easily even along narrow paths.
What do I need to consider when moving from Au across the Rhine to Lustenau?
Above all, the border: household goods going to Austria need customs clearance. We handle this completely, from export from Switzerland to import into Austria. Together with you we draw up an inventory list, and we clarify in good time before moving day which additional documents are needed.
When should I book my removal in Au or Heerbrugg?
As soon as your notice and move-in date are fixed, ideally a few weeks in advance. Dates around the end of the month are in demand because that is when tenancies usually change. If you enquire early, you have the widest choice of dates and enough lead time for the stopping place and packing material.
How much does it cost to move a piano into a new flat in Au?
Piano transport with us costs from CHF 250.–. The exact amount depends on the instrument, the floor and the carrying distance, for example if the building has no lift. Mention the piano during the survey and we will plan enough staff and the right carrying equipment.
What happens to my belongings if the flat in Heerbrugg only becomes free weeks later?
We put them into storage: after you move out, furniture and boxes go into our dry, climate-controlled and alarm-secured storage facility. As soon as the new flat is ready, we deliver everything and assemble the furniture. That way you only pack once, even if there is a gap of several weeks between moving out and moving in.
What help is there in apartment buildings in Haslach or Hard with a small lift?
We dismantle bulky furniture so that it fits into the lift car and stairwell, and protect walls, lift and floors beforehand with padding and covers. If a sofa or wardrobe still does not fit, we lift it over the balcony with the furniture lift if needed. We decide on this during the survey.
