Through the Reppisch Valley in 6 steps: your move in Birmensdorf ZH
Commuter route, valley floor with streams and the hamlet of Landikon: for Birmensdorf, six well-coordinated stages are enough to keep your moving day calm.
- 01
Viewing in the Reppisch Valley
We look at your rooms, in the village just as in Landikon, and work out which vehicle suits the address. You receive the quote within 24 hours.
- 02
Parking space and loading time
If the vehicle needs public land, we obtain the permit from the relevant office in Birmensdorf. Wherever possible, we load outside the morning and evening commuter rush.
- 03
Packing equipment by number
We deliver boxes free of charge. We pack screens, measuring instruments and laboratory inventory individually, number each item and record the order in which it is to be unpacked.
- 04
Carrying in the old village centre
There is little room in front of the older houses by the Reppisch crossing. Stairs and floors are padded, and bulky furniture comes out via the furniture lift if needed.
- 05
Via the A4 to your destination
Whether Urdorf, Bonstetten or Affoltern am Albis: we choose the route so that the vehicle stops right outside the new door and our carpenters can start assembling straight away.
- 06
Clearing and handover
We take discarded items for proper disposal; small amounts of glass or scrap metal you drop off yourself at the Sammelstelle Breite (collection point). Then the flat is handed over.
Moving to Birmensdorf
New address in Birmensdorf: how to register
In the canton of Zurich, you have 14 days to register with your new municipality of Birmensdorf; many municipalities offer eUmzug online for this.
Arrange mail forwarding with Swiss Post at least 4 working days before your moving date. You do not need to write to Serafe (radio/TV licence fee): the office receives the new address automatically via the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office).

Moving to Birmensdorf: tax rate, commuter location and municipality
Anyone moving to Birmensdorf pays a total tax rate excluding church tax of 112 % in 2026. For comparison in 2026: Zurich 119 %. Birmensdorf is therefore lower than Zurich.
Parking on moving day
If the removal van stands on public land, for example in the narrow village centre by the old Reppisch crossing, we apply for the parking reservation at no cost to you. The relevant office in Birmensdorf then charges the fee to you.
Disposal and bulky waste
We take old furniture or bulky items with us straight away when you move out, at CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour. Small amounts of broken glass, scrap metal or polystyrene you take to the Sammelstelle Breite during staffed hours.
Moving costs Birmensdorf
How much does a move in Birmensdorf ZH cost?
Only around 13 km as the crow flies separate Wallisellen and Birmensdorf, which has been connected to the A4 since 2009; with us, the journey there and back counts as actual working time. In older parts of the village around the Reformed church and in the hamlet of Landikon, we check the parking space and carrying route, as both directly affect the time needed. We move on Saturdays without a surcharge, and the quote follows within 24 hours.

Birmensdorf at a glance
Birmensdorf in the Reppisch Valley: the essentials for your move
Every move in Birmensdorf starts with us taking a look at the local conditions: access, floors, parking and the route to the removal van. Birmensdorf lies in the Reppisch valley, in the middle of a wide basin on the western side of the Uetliberg. Since 1864, Birmensdorf has been on the Zurich–Zug railway line and is served by the S-Bahn lines S5 and S14.
Whether in the centre or in Landikon: we clarify access and space conditions during the on-site survey before every move. Birmensdorf belongs to the district of Dietikon in the canton of Zurich.

Getting to know Birmensdorf
Moving Company Birmensdorf – from the basin below the Uetliberg to your new home
Towards Zurich in the morning, back towards the Knonauer Amt in the evening: Birmensdorf lies on a main route used every day by thousands of commuters from Central Switzerland. We take exactly this rhythm into account when scheduling removals in Birmensdorf. We are happy to move loading times to the quieter hours between the peaks.
Since April 2009, the A4 section between Urdorf Süd and the Zürich West interchange has relieved the village of through traffic. For our vehicles from Wallisellen, around 13 km away as the crow flies, the village is therefore easy to reach.
Who lives here
Birmensdorf had 6,511 inhabitants (as of 2018) in 3029 households (as of 2021). Industrialisation never took place; what developed instead is a suburban municipality with many commuters and strong local trades. As a moving company in Birmensdorf we therefore expect many working households and, on request, schedule moving day on a Saturday. For local tradespeople, we find dates that keep the shop or workshop closed for as short a time as possible.
The overall tax rate also plays a role for some newcomers: in 2026, the Steuerfuss (municipal tax rate) excluding church tax is 112%, compared with 119% in the city of Zurich.
Large employers, special requirements
Two institutions shape the village: the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) has its headquarters here, and since 1987 the Zürich-Reppischtal military training ground has been located on municipal land, since 2006 together with the Military Academy at ETH Zurich. For offices and businesses in this environment:
- We agree the inventory and moving date in advance with your contact person.
- We move workstations outside operating hours.
- Our removal crew packs sensitive equipment separately and labels it.
Village centre, old mill and Landikon
The Reformed church stands above the village centre and dates back to the medieval St. Martin's church. Also worth seeing are the village museum on Mühlemattstrasse and the old water mill. Several large streams run through the valley floor, including the Lunnerenbach and Wüeribach, which flow into the Reppisch. In older parts of the village, we check the parking space and carrying route especially carefully.
The hamlet of Landikon also belongs to the municipality. Watch out with the address: Birmensdorf ZH is not the almost identically named Birmenstorf in the canton of Aargau. We double-check with every enquiry so that the removal truck stands in the right place.
The PostBus and bus lines show where people from Birmensdorf tend to go, and that is where we often move them: line 314 runs to Urdorf and Dietikon, line 227 to Bonstetten, line 215 as far as Affoltern am Albis. Whether you need a removal company for Urdorf, a move in Dietikon, movers in Bonstetten or help in Affoltern am Albis, your movers in Birmensdorf cover that too.
Questions about Birmensdorf
Do you also move households to Landikon?
Yes. The hamlet of Landikon belongs to the municipality of Birmensdorf and is an entirely normal job location for us. We discuss access and parking in advance, just as we do in the village centre.
How do you make sure you do not drive to Birmenstorf AG?
Birmensdorf in the canton of Zurich and Birmenstorf in the canton of Aargau sound almost the same. That is why we confirm the canton and postal address in writing with every enquiry before we firmly schedule the date.
Local moving logistics
Planning a move in Birmensdorf: Reppisch Valley, village centre and Landikon
Birmensdorf lies in a wide basin, open on several sides, on the western flank of the Uetliberg. Between the old village centre, the valley floor and the hamlet, we plan access, parking and carrying routes individually for every address.
Village centre at the old Reppisch crossing
The settlement grew up where the road from Bremgarten to Zurich crosses the Reppisch. In this historic core, space in front of older houses is tighter, so we fix the parking space and furniture lift early on.
Valley floor with the Lunnerenbach and Wüeribach
Several streams run across the valley floor before flowing into the Reppisch. Bridges and watercourses determine from which side the removal van can approach a house; we check this during the on-site viewing.
Hamlet of Landikon
Landikon belongs politically to Birmensdorf but lies away from the village centre. For farms and houses in the hamlet, we clarify in advance how large the vehicle may be and where it can stand safely during loading.
Parking reservation
If the removal van has to stand on public land, we take care of the parking reservation with the relevant office in Birmensdorf. You do not need to submit anything; the authority invoices you directly for the fee.
Disposal
Sammelstelle BreiteWe dispose of larger quantities of discarded items properly for CHF 65.– per m³. According to the municipality, you can drop off small amounts such as broken glass, scrap metal or polystyrene yourself at the Sammelstelle Breite during staffed opening hours.
B2B
Business and laboratory relocations in Birmensdorf
With the WSL research institute, a federal institution has its headquarters in Birmensdorf, alongside strong local trades. We plan laboratory, IT and office moves outside operating hours.
Region and services
Removals in the Dietikon region and around the Uetliberg
From Birmensdorf we work in Dietikon, Schlieren, Geroldswil or Oberengstringen. A move to Bonstetten or into the Knonauer Amt can also be planned with a single quote.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about moving in Birmensdorf
Who arranges the parking spaces if I move from Birmensdorf to Berikon in Aargau?
We handle both applications, even across the cantonal border: one with the relevant office in Birmensdorf, one in Berikon. We coordinate them for the same day so that the vehicle stands close to the entrance in the Reppisch Valley in the morning and in the Freiamt in the afternoon. The fees are charged directly by the respective authorities.
How does loading work for a flat near Birmensdorf station?
With consideration for pedestrians: on weekdays more than 5,000 passengers get on and off at the station every day. We therefore do not stack boxes on the pavement, but carry them straight from the front door into the vehicle and keep the walkway clear. We reserve the parking space in advance so that the vehicle does not have to double-park.
How much does it cost to move a piano from a house in the Reppisch Valley?
Our piano transport starts at CHF 250.–; the exact amount depends on the floor, stairs and carrying route. We pad the instrument, move it on a dolly and secure it in the vehicle. In older houses with narrow stairs, we look at the situation beforehand and then decide on the number of movers.
What do you look out for if my farm in Landikon can only be reached via a narrow track?
A protected carrying route: if the vehicle has to stand a little further away, we wrap upholstered furniture and mattresses in film and blankets so that dust and moisture cannot harm them. We plan extra movers for the longer distance. Whether a smaller vehicle can get closer to the farm, we clarify during the viewing.
When does temporary storage make sense in Birmensdorf?
When the old flat has to be handed back before the new one is ready to move into, for example with a new build in the region. Your furniture then goes into our dry, climate-controlled and alarm-protected storage facility. On moving-in day we deliver everything to the new address and our carpenters reassemble the furniture there.
What happens if I move from Birmensdorf ZH to, of all places, Birmenstorf AG?
Then you are moving between two almost identically named municipalities in two cantons. On the quote, order and vehicle schedule we list both places with canton and postcode, so that the team never mixes up the addresses. In the customer portal you enter the Aargau destination municipality so that deregistration and registration reach the right office.
What support do older people get when moving within Birmensdorf?
With a senior move, we pack the entire household on request, dismantle the furniture and reassemble it in the smaller flat, and take away anything no longer needed for proper disposal. Relatives can have their say during the viewing. On request, we also take care of the final cleaning with handover guarantee.
