From the old town to Halden: your move in Bischofszell in 8 steps
Between the Sitter and the Thur, historic buildings meet industry and hamlets. These eight steps bring order to your moving day in Bischofszell.
- 01
Address and survey
Because parts of the locality such as Blidegg or Leutswil belong to neighbouring municipalities, we first clarify the exact address and then carry out a survey on site or by video.
- 02
Reserve a stopping place
For the truck on public ground, we submit the application to the town's responsible office. You receive the fee directly from the authority.
- 03
Measuring old-town houses
Around Marktgasse and the town hall we measure entrances, flights of stairs and turning points so it is clear which furniture will fit through the building and which will not.
- 04Optional
Furniture lift up the façade
If the route through the old townhouse is too narrow, we lift wardrobes, sofas and beds through the window with the furniture lift, sparing the stairs and masonry.
- 05
Packing and covering
You receive boxes and packing material in advance. On moving day we put protection on floors and stairs before the first item is carried out.
- 06
A route across the Sitter
Between Bischofszell-Nord and the old-town terrace we plan the loading order so that the truck can stop at both addresses without waiting.
- 07
Setting up at the destination
Whether in Halden, Hauptwil or Weinfelden: we place the furniture according to your plan and fully reassemble wardrobes, beds and office workstations.
- 08
Finishing and handover
For waste paper and cardboard you use the town's collections; old furniture we take with us. On request we clean the old flat for the handover.
Moving to Bischofszell
Registering your new address in Bischofszell correctly
In Thurgau you normally register with your new municipality within 14 days, which can often be done online via eUmzug. If your address belongs to Blidegg, Leutswil or Eberswil, a neighbouring municipality is responsible.
To have your post forwarded, a single order placed 4 working days before moving day or earlier is enough. There is no need to contact Serafe (radio/TV licence fee) about your move to Bischofszell: the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office) passes on the new address automatically.

Parking on moving day
Space is tight especially in the old town around Marktplatz and Kirchgasse. We handle the reservation of a stopping place with the responsible office in Bischofszell for you free of charge; the authority collects the fee itself.
Disposal and bulky waste
We take away old furniture from Bischofszell during the move and dispose of it at CHF 65.– per m³, labour not included. The town of Bischofszell provides information on waste paper, cardboard and small quantities of recyclables.
Moving costs Bischofszell
What a move in Bischofszell costs: from the old town to Halden
It is about 49 km as the crow flies from Wallisellen to Bischofszell, and the journey there and back is part of the working time charged. In the old town on the terrace around Marktgasse and Hofplatz, space for the removal truck can be tight, which affects the carrying distance and the need for a furniture lift. In Bischofszell-Nord, Halden or the hamlets on the edge of town, the effort looks different. The calculator above shows a guide price.
| Apartment Size | Example price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 1.5 rooms | from CHF 570.–Bischofszell → Oberbüren, approx. 7 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 2 – 2.5 rooms | from CHF 880.–Bischofszell → Amriswil, approx. 7 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 3 – 3.5 rooms | from CHF 1'030.–Bischofszell → Gossau SG, approx. 9 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 4 – 4.5 rooms | from CHF 1'550.–Bischofszell → Uzwil, approx. 9 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 5 – 5.5 rooms | from CHF 1'880.–Bischofszell → Egnach, approx. 10 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 6 – 6.5 rooms | from CHF 2'090.–Bischofszell → Zuzwil, approx. 10 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.

Getting to know Bischofszell
Moving company Bischofszell: an old town on the terrace, industry in the valley
Bischofszell lies where the Sitter flows into the Thur. The town itself stands on a terrace south of the Sitter, and the municipality also includes Bischofszell-Nord and, since 1996, the former Ortsgemeinde (local municipality) of Halden as well as parts of Schweizersholz and Gottshaus with Stocken. For us as a moving company in Bischofszell, this means a job can begin in an old-town lane and end in a hamlet on the edge of town.
An old town worthy of protection
Bischofszell is listed in the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites. After the town fire of 1743, which destroyed the old town hall and around 70 other houses, Johann Caspar Bagnato had today's town hall built on Marktgasse from 1747 to 1750. Around Marktplatz, Kirchgasse, Hofplatz and Schottengasse stand manor houses and townhouses from several centuries, overlooked by the parish church of St. Pelagius.
In a historic old town, space for the removal truck can be tight. That is why, during the free survey, we clarify where the vehicle can stop, how long the carrying distance to the front door is and whether a furniture lift is worthwhile. Where necessary, we arrange the parking reservation.
Two stations and a major employer
With Bischofszell Stadt and Bischofszell Nord, the town has two stations on the Sulgen–Gossau line. Economically it has been an industrial location with a regional centre function since the 19th century: in 2016 its businesses provided 2718 full-time jobs, more than half of them in industry, trade and construction. Around 1000 people work for the Fresh Food & Beverage Group, formerly Bischofszell Nahrungsmittel.
For businesses relocating offices, workshops or warehouses, our removals company offers:
- office relocation outside business hours so that production keeps running
- assembly of workstations and shelving at the new site
- disposal of old furniture and furniture storage if the new premises are not ready yet
Living between town and hamlets
At the end of 2023 the municipality had 6,255 inhabitants. Worth knowing for planning: the locality of Bischofszell extends beyond the municipal boundary, as Blidegg and Leutswil belong to Zihlschlacht-Sitterdorf and Eberswil to Hauptwil-Gottshaus. That is why we ask for the exact address with every enquiry, so that moving day starts without a detour.
Our vehicles come from Wallisellen, about 49 km away as the crow flies. A change of flat within the district, for instance as movers for Weinfelden, is just as much part of our work as furniture transport along the railway line, such as a move in Gossau SG. On request we move on a Saturday, with no Saturday surcharge. Contact your moving company in Bischofszell directly, including final cleaning of your old flat.
Questions about Bischofszell
Do you also do removals to Halden, Schweizersholz or Stocken?
Yes. Halden and parts of Schweizersholz as well as Stocken have belonged to the municipality of Bischofszell since 1996 and are regular locations for us. We determine the stopping place and carrying distance individually for each of these addresses.
How do you plan a move in Bischofszell's old town?
The old town is listed in the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites, with townhouses and manor houses around Marktplatz and Kirchgasse. During the survey we determine the stopping place, carrying distance and vehicle size, and decide whether a furniture lift is needed.
Local moving logistics
Moving in Bischofszell: the terrace town, Bischofszell-Nord and Halden
The old town stands on a terrace above the Sitter, while Bischofszell-Nord and Halden lie outside it. Depending on the address, the stopping place, carrying distance and vehicle change, so we plan each part of the municipality separately.
Old town around Marktplatz and Hofplatz
In the historic townhouses on Kirchgasse, Schottengasse and Hofplatz we check the width of stairs and doors before planning in wardrobes and sofas. If there is not enough room, a furniture lift is used.
Bischofszell-Nord
This district has its own station, Bischofszell Nord, on the Sulgen–Gossau line. If a household moves between Nord and the old town, we fix the route and loading order before moving day so that both stopping places work.
Halden, Schweizersholz and Stocken
Since 1996 these former local municipalities have belonged wholly or partly to Bischofszell. Because hamlets such as Last or Schluuch were not included, we check the exact address before deciding on vehicle and access.
Parking reservation
If the removal truck stands on public ground, we submit the reservation to the responsible office in Bischofszell. The authority charges you the fee, and we arrange the no-stopping restriction in good time before the date.
Disposal
The town of Bischofszell provides information on waste paper and cardboard collections and recyclables, so you can deal with small quantities yourself. Larger items such as old furniture we dispose of properly at a price of CHF 65.– per m³.

Frequently asked questions
Bischofszell: answers to common moving questions
Who supports me at the flat handover in Bischofszell?
If you book the final cleaning with us, our team is on site for the inspection with the landlord or property management. If anything is criticised, we touch it up immediately and free of charge. That way your tenancy in Bischofszell ends without a second appointment and without open issues.
How do you protect antique furniture and old wooden floors in a townhouse on Kirchgasse?
We wrap antique chests of drawers and wardrobes in soft protective material, and corners and carvings are additionally padded. We lay floor protection on old floorboards and parquet, and the stairwell is covered too, so that banisters and steps are not marked while we carry.
How does the furniture get to a house in the hamlet of Stocken or in Halden?
If the truck can stand on a private forecourt or in the yard entrance there, no reservation on public ground is needed. If the access road is narrow, we use a smaller vehicle. We clarify both in advance so that the right equipment is on site on moving day.
Where are children and pets best looked after on moving day in Bischofszell?
Ideally with relatives, neighbours or in a quiet room that is cleared last. Open doors and heavy furniture in the hallway are a risk for children and animals. Cats and dogs settle in more easily if they only come into the flat once it is fully furnished.
How much does it cost to move a piano into an old-town house on Hofplatz in Bischofszell?
We offer piano transport from CHF 250.–; the exact amount depends on the instrument, weight and access. In old houses with narrow stairs we check in advance whether the piano will fit through the building or is better brought up to the floor by furniture lift.
What happens to a full attic in a house in Bischofszell's old town?
We clear it on moving day as well and carry old furniture, boxes and junk down the narrow stairs, without you having to haul anything yourself. Beforehand we go through with you what is coming along and what can go. We dispose of the rest properly so that the attic and cellar are empty at the handover.
What preparation does a move from Bischofszell abroad require?
Above all, a complete inventory list of your household goods with your old and new address. We take care of all customs clearance for you, i.e. export from Switzerland and import into the destination country. Which rules apply in the destination country we clarify during the survey in Thurgau.
