Old rows of houses, a village centre and seven hamlets: for Mettmenstetten, we plan the move in six stages, tailored to access and stairwell.
- 01
Site visit in the village or hamlet
Whether in the old part of the village, in Rossau or in Hübscheren: we look at the entrance, stairs and access and then decide on the vehicle and team size.
- 02

Packing materials and boxes are ready free of charge as soon as you want to start packing, at the latest two to three weeks before moving day.

Narrow entrances
In the terraced houses built wall to wall, stairs are often tight; we dismantle large wardrobes or lift them over the balcony or through a window with the furniture lift.
- 05
Cross-country route
For farms away from the main road, we fix the route in advance; towards Affoltern, Knonau or Zug, the van then drives to the destination without searching.

At the new place, our carpenters put the furniture together; any wardrobe or sofa not coming along we take for disposal, and we collect the boxes afterwards.

Getting to know Mettmenstetten
Moving company Mettmenstetten: one village with seven hamlets
Mettmenstetten, Mättmi in dialect, has only been a political municipality since 1895. At that time, Ober- and Untermettmenstetten merged with the hamlets of Rossau, Dachlissen and Herferswil. Today it is the second-largest municipality in the Affoltern district after Hausen am Albis and had 5,094 inhabitants at the end of 2018. As movers in Mettmenstetten, we deal with a village centre and many scattered addresses.
Agriculture shapes the municipal area
Almost two thirds of the area, 64.3 per cent, is farmland, and only just under a tenth is built-up land. Besides the village, the hamlets of Dachlissen, Eigi, Grossholz, Herferswil, Hübscheren, Rossau and Wissenbach belong to the municipality. Towards the Albis, the land rises to the neighbouring municipalities of Aeugst am Albis, Rifferswil and Kappel am Albis.
This is how our removals team handles such addresses:
- Free viewing on site or by WhatsApp video, with a look at access and parking spot
- Choosing the vehicle size to suit the access road, especially for hamlets and farms
- Agreeing the carrying route and, if necessary, a furniture lift before the quote arrives within 24 hours
Old rows of houses and a bridge from 1490
The area was settled early on: since 1997, aerial photographs have revealed a Roman estate on the Grundrebenstrasse. The church is mentioned as early as 998, and the village as Metemunstat in 1116. When the construction of new houses was restricted in 1607, up to a building freeze, extensions were partly still allowed, which is how the "terraced houses" that still exist today came about. The Wiesenbach bridge from 1490, built on the Zurich–Lucerne trade route, is still in use today. In 1826, the first rural official school in the canton of Zurich was founded here. The Catholic church of St. Burkard on the Rüteli followed in 1935.
In houses built wall to wall, stairwells and entrances are not always generous. We therefore check such flats particularly carefully and, if needed, organise a parking reservation right outside the house.
Living between Zurich and Zug
The village lies 17 kilometres from Zurich and 12 kilometres from Zug as the crow flies. Anyone moving to Mettmenstetten pays a total Steuerfuss (municipal tax rate) excluding church tax of 98% in 2026, compared with 122% in Affoltern am Albis and 119% in Zurich. Commuter households like to move on a Saturday; we offer this with no Saturday surcharge.
To the north lies the district capital, to the west Obfelden and Maschwanden, and to the south Knonau. For a move to Affoltern am Albis or as removal company for Obfelden, the distance is short, and our base in Wallisellen is around 21 km away as the crow flies. On request, your moving company in Mettmenstetten also handles furniture assembly, disposal and end-of-tenancy cleaning.
Questions about Mettmenstetten
Do you also move households to Rossau, Dachlissen or Wissenbach?
Yes. The hamlets of Dachlissen, Eigi, Grossholz, Herferswil, Hübscheren, Rossau and Wissenbach belong to the municipality of Mettmenstetten. For each of these addresses, we clarify access and parking spot at the viewing.
How do you plan a move in Mettmenstetten's old "terraced houses"?
The "terraced houses" came about when, from 1607, only extensions were allowed. For houses built wall to wall, we check the stairwell, entrance and parking spot at the viewing and use a furniture lift if needed.
Local moving logistics
Moving house in Mettmenstetten: old village parts, Rüteli and hamlets
Mettmenstetten grew out of Ober- and Untermettmenstetten and several hamlets, with a lot of farmland in between. That is why we distinguish between village addresses and remote farms when planning.
Ober-Mettmenstetten
Ober-Mettmenstetten, where the "Meyerhof" by the lime tree passed to Johannes Meyer von Knonau in 1399, is one of the two old parts of the village. For flats there, we check the entrance, stairs and parking spot before deciding on the vehicle size.
Rüteli with St. Burkard
The Catholic church of St. Burkard was consecrated on the Rüteli in 1935. For addresses in this area, we clarify how the removal van can approach and where it can stop without blocking access to the church or neighbouring houses.
Wiesenbach bridge and farms
The Wiesenbach bridge on the old Zurich–Lucerne trade route has been in use since 1490. On such historic roads and for farms away from the main routes, we fix the route and vehicle size in advance so that the removal van arrives without detours.
Parking reservation
Whether in the village centre or in a hamlet: if the removal van stands on public ground, we organise the parking reservation with the responsible office in Mettmenstetten. The authority invoices you for the fee itself.
Disposal
For small quantities of glass or paper, the collection point of the municipality of Mettmenstetten is suitable. Any wardrobe, sofa or bed frame not coming along we load on moving day and dispose of properly at CHF 65.– per m³.

Frequently asked questions
Questions and answers about Mettmenstetten
Who handles customs when I move abroad from Mettmenstetten?
We take care of it completely, from export out of Switzerland to import into the destination country. The basis is an inventory list of your household goods, which we draw up together at the viewing. You take care of deregistering with the municipality of Mettmenstetten yourself before leaving; the customer portal reminds you.
How do you get glass display cabinets out of an old Mettmenstetten terraced house undamaged?
We remove the glass shelves and doors and pad them individually, and wrap the carcass in blankets. On narrow, winding stairs, two people carry the piece upright without tilting it. If the carcass won't fit round the corner, our carpenter dismantles it or we lift it out with the furniture lift.
How do you move from Mettmenstetten up to Rifferswil or Kappel am Albis?
With a van that suits the access at the destination, because the land rises towards the Albis. We look at both addresses beforehand and decide whether we drive right up to the house or carry part of the way. The drive is short, so the time needed depends mainly on the carrying distance and floors.
What should I watch out for when moving away from a farm in Hübscheren or Eigi?
Keep the farm entrance clear of tractors, trailers and woodpiles on moving day so the van can manoeuvre close to the house. Sort the workshop, threshing floor and attic beforehand into items to take and items to dispose of. Mark clearly what should go, and we will load it separately and dispose of it properly.
Where can furniture from Mettmenstetten that is only needed later be kept?
In our storage facility, dry, climate-controlled and alarm-protected. This works well, for example, if a child's room is to be furnished later or the new flat is smaller than the previous house in the hamlet. We take the pieces directly on moving day and bring them to your address on request.
When can I hand over the keys in Mettmenstetten if you do the cleaning?
At the agreed handover appointment, which our cleaning team attends. With end-of-tenancy cleaning including a handover guarantee, we fix any defects immediately at no extra charge, so the inspection can be completed in one go. You don't need a second appointment with the property management.
How much does piano transport from Mettmenstetten cost?
From CHF 250.–, or more depending on the floor, stairs and carrying distance. For houses with a narrow entrance, we check at the viewing whether the instrument will fit through or whether a furniture lift is needed. Padded, secured in the van and insured, the piano reaches its new spot, whether in the village or in a hamlet.
Which collection dates should I look up before moving day in Mettmenstetten?
The dates for household waste, paper and cardboard in the municipality's waste calendar. If a collection falls shortly before you move out, you can get rid of old newspapers and packaging in time. You don't need to put our moving boxes out; we collect them from you after unpacking.
