Moving Company Rheinfelden – removals for private customers and businesses

Rheinfelden is long and narrow. The town stretches for around nine kilometres along the left bank of the High Rhine but extends on average only about two and a half kilometres inland. With 13,528 inhabitants (as of 2018), the district capital is the sixth-largest town in Aargau and the regional centre of the Fricktal. Our base in Wallisellen is around 62 km away as the crow flies.

The old town and its escarpment

The old town stands on a rock terrace of shell limestone, the same formation as the Inseli, the roughly 150-metre-long rocky island in the Rhine that serves as a natural bridgehead for the river crossing. A pronounced escarpment runs across almost its entire width; the easternmost part was artificially filled in and levelled. In the west, the terrace drops down to the Heimendeckenloch, a former gorge that was largely covered over in 1903.

For movers in Rheinfelden this means that even within the old town the route from the vehicle to the front door can cross different levels. That is why we plan as follows:

• We organise the parking spot and parking reservation before moving day.
• We check the carrying route and stairwell during the free survey, on site or via WhatsApp video.
• If the route through the stairwell does not work, we use a furniture lift if needed.

Terraces and hills in the south

South of the old town and west of the Magdenerbach stream rises the Kapuzinerberg, which merges into the «Berg», at 419 m above sea level the highest point in the municipality. East of the stream lies the Steppberg (373 m above sea level). In these higher residential areas we pay particular attention to access and vehicle size. On the valley floor of the so-called Rheinfeld, a broad gravel plain, the routes are usually simpler.

Beer, salt and spa

Feldschlösschen, the largest brewery in Switzerland, brews here, and the Saline Riburg extracts extensive salt deposits. From the middle of the 19th century the brine made Rheinfelden a spa town; today the focus is on therapy and rehabilitation. For businesses and practices, our removals company handles relocations outside operating hours, including disposal and furniture storage as required.

The population has grown strongly since the 1970s, when Rheinfelden became part of the Basel agglomeration. Via the Alte Rheinbrücke (old Rhine bridge), the town is closely linked with its German sister town Rheinfelden (Baden). In Switzerland, Kaiseraugst borders it to the west and Möhlin to the east; we are also your removals company in Kaiseraugst and take care of your move to Möhlin. Your moving company in Rheinfelden prepares the quote within 24 hours, for a Saturday too if you wish.
