Terrace by terrace: your move in Männedorf in 8 steps
A dense village centre by the lake, gradients towards the Pfannenstiel and traffic on the Seestrasse: with these eight steps you stay on top of your move in Männedorf.
- 01
Viewing on the Gold Coast
Lakeshore or upper terrace: we look at access, floors and household contents, in person or by video, and send the quote within 24 hours.
- 02
Parking in a tight space
Because there is hardly any room in front of many houses, we apply for the reservation on public ground with the responsible office. The authority charges you the fee.
- 03
Boxes and padding
We bring moving boxes, tape and padding material free of charge, so you can pack room by room and label each box with its destination room.
- 04
Choosing the loading time wisely
Around the station and the Seestrasse, traffic backs up at rush hour. We therefore schedule loading and departure for the quieter hours of the day wherever possible.
- 05Optional
Furniture lift for upper floors
In apartment blocks and in the narrow old buildings near the Untervogthaus, the furniture lift raises sofas and wardrobes straight onto the balcony or through the window.
- 06
Up to Blatten
For addresses above the Kirchhügel or in Höchsten, we choose the van size according to gradient and access, so the carrying distance from the van to the door stays short.
- 07
Workshop and archive
We move precision mechanics or alarm technology businesses outside working hours. Files travel in order and labelled as an archive relocation.
- 08
Assembly and handover
Our carpenters assemble the furniture, after which you hand over the old flat. By the way, the Werkhof (municipal depot) on Saurenbachstrasse also accepts small quantities of scrap metal.
Moving to Männedorf
Moving to Männedorf: registration requirements in the canton of Zurich
Under Zurich rules, your new municipality must be informed of your arrival within 14 days. In many municipalities of the canton, this works online via eUmzug.
Swiss Post needs your mail forwarding order at least 4 working days in advance. You do not need to contact Serafe (radio/TV licence fee); the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office) passes on the new address automatically.
New in Männedorf
Living in Männedorf: Steuerfuss (municipal tax rate), parking and Werkhof
The total tax rate of Männedorf, excluding church tax, is 87 % in 2026. For comparison in 2026: Zurich 119 %. Männedorf is therefore lower than Zurich.
Parking on moving day
Between the older houses in the village centre, there is little room for a removal van. We therefore register the parking spot early with the responsible office in Männedorf. This service is free of charge; the authority invoices you for the official fee.
Disposal and bulky waste
Furniture and bulky items that don't fit into the new flat we take with us during the move, at a price of CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour. Small quantities of scrap metal or used oil can be dropped off at the Werkhof (Saurenbachstrasse 6).
Moving costs Männedorf
Männedorf: what the price of your move on the terraces depends on
At around 19 km from Wallisellen as the crow flies, Männedorf is quickly reached; the journey there and back still counts as working time. The municipality rises in terraces up the Pfannenstiel, and with around 2,400 inhabitants per square kilometre, space in front of the house is tight. A long carrying distance or a furniture lift affects the duration. As a new customer you get a 20% discount, and the viewing is free.

Männedorf at a glance
Männedorf on the Gold Coast: terraces up to the Stäfner Türli
For us, Männedorf is not just a dot on the map, but a real place of work with its own roads, access routes and neighbourhoods. Männedorf lies on the right shore of Lake Zurich (the Gold Coast) and stretches along the southern slope of the Pfannenstiel from the lakeshore up to the Stäfner Türli. The S7 (Winterthur – Zurich HB – Meilen – Rapperswil) connects Männedorf; there is also a ZSG boat connection to Wädenswil.
Männedorf belongs to the district of Meilen in the canton of Zurich.

Moving in Männedorf: what we pay attention to
Männedorf lies on Zurich's Gold Coast and rises in terraces from the lakeshore at 406 metres up to 661 metres on the southern slope of the Pfannenstiel. Neighbourhoods such as Auf Dorf, Ausserfeld, Allmendhof, Blatten or Höchsten sit on different parts of the slope, so access varies accordingly – from the historic village centre by the lake to the higher residential areas. The Meilen regional police, which also covers Männedorf, are responsible for temporary no-parking zones on public land – we take care of the application for you.
Since the railway connection in 1894, the former fishing and farming village has developed considerably, with Seestrasse as the main traffic artery along the lake and Bergstrasse as the access road to the higher neighbourhoods. The buildings around the site of Orgelbau Kuhn, Switzerland's largest organ builder since 1864, and at Tecan on the site of a former tannery have a historic character. At peak times, traffic around the station and Seestrasse creates additional access challenges.
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 Männedorf
Moving company Männedorf: terrace by terrace up the Pfannenstiel
The terraces on which Männedorf sits run parallel to the ridge of the Pfannenstiel. Since the railway was built, the small farming village on the shore has become a municipality that stretches far up the hill and has grown together with the agglomeration towards Zurich. Our Wallisellen base is around 19 km from Männedorf as the crow flies.
Many households in a small area
11,767 people live on 476 hectares (as of 2024), giving a density of around 2,400 inhabitants per square kilometre. In 2021, Männedorf had 4,985 private households. More than a third of the area is built-up land and just under a quarter is forest. Where so many people live in a tight space, a free parking spot outside the house cannot be taken for granted.
As movers in Männedorf, this is how we proceed:
- We determine the parking spot and carrying route at a free viewing, also by WhatsApp video on request.
- We organise the parking reservation for the removal van.
- For flats on upper floors, we check whether a furniture lift can take the load off the stairwell.
- If you work during the week, you can move on a Saturday, with no Saturday surcharge.
Workshops and businesses since 1894
The Zurich–Meilen–Rapperswil railway brought an economic upturn in 1894. Businesses for organ building, precision mechanics and alarm technology were established. The former Grob office furniture factory in Höchsten, which closed in 1977, now houses the municipal utilities. For companies changing premises, we plan the move outside business hours and, on request, dispose of old fittings at the same time.
A village with a long history
Traces of three Neolithic lakeshore villages and the remains of an 8th-century church on the Kirchhügel show how early people settled here. The name is first recorded in 933 as "Mannidorf", the "village of Manno". From 1405 to 1798, Männedorf was a Zurich Obervogtei (bailiwick); the Untervogthaus in the village centre bears witness to this. In 1445, the seven-hour naval battle of Männedorf raged on the lake, with ships and large rafts manned by infantry. In 1835, the village school and the one "auf Dorf" were merged in the new central schoolhouse on Blatten. The upper part of the municipality is now a local recreation area, because the roads office once bought land there for a planned motorway.
If you are moving within the Meilen district, the distance stays short, whether up the lake or over the Pfannenstiel: we are your removal company for Uetikon am See, handle a move to Stäfa or drive over the hill to Oetwil am See. Get in touch with your moving company in Männedorf and you will have a quote in your hands within 24 hours.
Questions about Männedorf
How do you plan a move on the upper terraces of Männedorf?
Männedorf lies on terraces that run parallel to the Pfannenstiel ridge and stretches from the lakeshore at 406 m up to 661 m. For addresses further up, we clarify access and vehicle size at the viewing.
Do you also handle business relocations in Männedorf?
Yes. Since the railway was built in 1894, businesses in organ building, precision mechanics and alarm technology have settled in Männedorf. We plan business moves outside operating hours so that your business can keep running.
Local moving logistics
Männedorf on the Pfannenstiel: removal logistics from the lakeshore to Höchsten
Between the lakeshore at 406 metres and the Stollen at 661 metres, Männedorf lies on several levels of terrain. For each altitude, we choose the vehicle, parking spot and carrying route to suit.
Village centre by the Untervogthaus
The historic centre by the lake grew out of the former fishing and wine-growing village. Between the older houses, space for a removal van is tight, so we reserve the parking spot early and use a furniture lift if needed.
Kirchhügel and Blatten
Traces of a church already stood on the Kirchhügel in the 8th century, and above it lies Blatten with the former central schoolhouse. The location above the village centre means gradients; we therefore look at access and carrying route beforehand.
Höchsten
The former Grob office furniture factory in Höchsten now houses the municipal utilities. For flats in this higher part, we clarify how close a larger vehicle can get and whether a smaller van is more efficient.
Parking reservation
So that the removal van is allowed to stand on public ground, we apply for the parking reservation with the responsible office in Männedorf. All that remains for you is the fee, which the authority invoices directly.
Disposal
Werkhof Saurenbachstrasse 6We dispose of larger quantities properly for you at CHF 65.– per m³. According to the municipality, you can also drop off small quantities of scrap metal or used oil yourself at the Werkhof at Saurenbachstrasse 6.
B2B
Business and workshop relocations in Männedorf
Since the railway was built in 1894, businesses for organ building, precision mechanics and alarm technology have been established in Männedorf. We move workshops and offices outside business hours, and files as an archive relocation on request.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about moving in Männedorf
Who handles customs when I move from Männedorf to Italy or France?
We take care of this part completely for you: customs clearance on export from Switzerland and on import into your new country. Together with you, we draw up the inventory list, pack your household goods professionally and transport them insured. At your new home, our carpenters reassemble the furniture.
How does a move from Männedorf over the Pfannenstiel to Oetwil am See work?
As a short mountain drive with careful load securing: from the terraces above the lake, the route goes up and down again on the other side. Heavy furniture therefore stands at the bottom of the load space and is strapped down. We clarify the parking spot in Oetwil with the local office so that the carpenters can start assembling straight after arrival.
Where does the removal van stop for a flat directly on Männedorf's Seestrasse?
Not on the carriageway, because the Seestrasse is the main traffic route along the shore. At the viewing, we look for a driveway, forecourt or nearby side street and reserve the space for the van there. We measure the carrying distance to the front door and set the team size accordingly.
When is our packing service worthwhile for a move in Männedorf?
Especially if you are very busy at work, clearing a large flat or own a lot of fragile items. Our team packs kitchen, books and display cabinets professionally, labels each box by destination room and unpacks again at the new home on request. We include the effort in the quote.
What applies when moving from Männedorf to Wädenswil on the opposite shore?
The distance across the lake is short, but the removal van travels by road. This driving time counts as working time, so we plan it precisely in the quote and load so that the furniture for bedrooms and children's rooms comes out first at the destination. We clarify the parking spot in Wädenswil with the local office.
Why is our team present at the handover inspection of your Männedorf flat?
Because our end-of-tenancy cleaning comes with a handover guarantee: we accompany the flat handover and fix any complaint from the property management immediately and free of charge. That way the flat is accepted at the same appointment, and you don't have to organise a second cleaning.
What help do older people get when moving within Männedorf?
For senior moves, we take over packing, dismantling and reassembling furniture on request, as well as taking away everything that is no longer needed. We also handle the end-of-tenancy cleaning of the previous flat. Relatives can attend the viewing and help plan the process.
What should you watch out for with houses at the very top towards the Stäfner Türli?
The access to scattered houses: the upper part of the municipality is now largely a local recreation area and hardly densely built up. We check road width, gradient and turning space in advance and then decide whether a large van can reach the house or a smaller vehicle makes several trips. The approach route is set out bindingly in the quote.
