Removals in Wittenbach in 6 steps – from Kronbühl to Dottenwil
Between the Steinach, the Sitter gorge and the city boundary with St. Gallen, every address in Wittenbach is different. Six steps bring your move to its destination in an orderly way.
- 01
Inspection and responsibility
During the survey, we check the stairwell and access and, for addresses near Heiligkreuz, clarify whether Wittenbach or the city of St. Gallen is responsible.
- 02
Parking spot and boxes
If the removal van needs space on public ground, we organise the reservation; we bring boxes and packing materials free of charge two to three weeks in advance.
- 03
Older buildings in Kronbühl
In houses from the embroidery era, we decide in advance which furniture will be dismantled and protect stairs, banisters and floors with padding and covers.
- 04
More time for hamlets
For Dottenwil and Unterlören with their protected townscapes, we plan longer carrying routes; on the slope, a furniture lift helps if needed.
- 05
Furniture back in place
Whether in Bruggwaldpark, St. Gallen or Häggenschwil: our carpenters set up beds and wardrobes and distribute the boxes according to your plan.
- 06
Depot tip and completion
We take larger quantities of furniture for disposal, while you bring small quantities to the Entsorgungsplatz Werkhof; we then collect the boxes and finish with the invoice as per the quote.
Moving to Wittenbach
Registering in Wittenbach: what applies
In Wittenbach, a registration deadline of 14 days from moving in usually applies. Often no visit to the counter is needed, because the notification is made via eUmzug.
For forwarding your post, allow at least 4 working days' lead time. You do not need to notify Serafe (radio/TV licence fee); the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office) handles the notification automatically.
New in Wittenbach
New to Wittenbach: taxes, municipality and depot
In 2026, the tax rate of the political municipality of Wittenbach is 119 %. For comparison in 2026: St. Gallen 138 % and Gaiserwald 99 %. Wittenbach is therefore lower than St. Gallen.
Parking on moving day
We take care of a parking spot on public ground in Kronbühl or the village free of charge; the request goes to the responsible office in Wittenbach. For addresses near Heiligkreuz, we clarify responsibility beforehand, and the authority charges the fee.
Disposal and bulky waste
We load larger quantities of furniture from your Wittenbach flat during the move at a price of CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour. You bring small quantities yourself to the Entsorgungsplatz Werkhof (Hofenstrasse 3).
Moving costs Wittenbach
Moving to Wittenbach: costs with a long journey and hillside locations
It is around 60 km as the crow flies from our base in Wallisellen to Wittenbach. Because the outward and return journey are part of the working time, the distance carries weight, especially for smaller moves. Then there is the terrain: between the Steinach at 490 m above sea level and the Bruggwald at 780 m lie hillside locations and scattered settlements with narrow access roads. A cost ceiling provides planning certainty on request.

Customer portal for Wittenbach
Kronbühl, Bruggwaldpark or Wittenbach: your checklist for changing your address
Kronbühl and Bruggwaldpark have their own names but belong to the municipality of Wittenbach in the St. Gallen constituency. In the customer portal, your moving date and new municipality combine to create a checklist with deadlines. Pre-written letters and links directly to the official offices in the Canton of St. Gallen keep your change of address clear.
- Municipality Registration usually within 14 days, online via eUmzug.
- Road Traffic Office Changes to the vehicle registration document within 14 days.
- Post Forwarding at least 4 working days before the move.
- Serafe no action required – handled via the residents' registration office.
What the portal checklist does for you in Wittenbach
- Inform your insurers: The same applies to Kronbühl, Bruggwaldpark or Wittenbach village: your household contents and personal liability insurance need the new address; the ready-made letter from the portal only lacks the policy number and date.
- Set up mail forwarding: If you work in St. Gallen and are short of time, set up forwarding online via the direct link in the portal, at least 4 working days before your move to Wittenbach.
- Report your departure: If you are coming from the city of St. Gallen, from Mörschwil or Waldkirch, deregister there first; the checklist knows your moving date and links to the official office.
- Register your arrival: As a rule, you register with the municipality of Wittenbach within 14 days, often online via eUmzug (online change of address); the link is stored in the portal and the task can be ticked off.

Wittenbach between the Sitter and Steinach gorges
If you are moving in Wittenbach, you benefit from a moving company that takes a close look at the town and its surroundings before moving day. Wittenbach lies north of the city of St. Gallen between the Sitter and Steinach rivers, which run through gorges. Südostbahn railway line (part of the St. Gallen S-Bahn); the A1.1 Meggenhus–Arbon West motorway feeder relieves Wittenbach of through traffic.
Our moving service covers all of Wittenbach, including Kronbühl and Bruggwaldpark. Wittenbach borders Roggwil (TG), Berg, Mörschwil, St. Gallen and Waldkirch; we organise moves across the municipal boundary with one team and one quote. Wittenbach belongs to the St. Gallen constituency in the canton of St. Gallen.

Getting to know Wittenbach
Moving company Wittenbach: removals between the Sitter and Steinach gorges
Around two thirds of Wittenbach's working population work in St. Gallen. Since around 1960, the municipality has grown mainly through housing for commuters. If you do not want to sacrifice a working day for your move, you can book it with us on a Saturday, without a Saturday surcharge.
Wittenbach had 9691 inhabitants (as of 2018) and lies around 60 km as the crow flies from our base in Wallisellen. On request, after you move out, we also take care of the end-of-tenancy cleaning of your old flat and the disposal of furniture that is not coming with you.
Kronbühl, Bruggwaldpark and an exclave
The municipality comprises the districts of Wittenbach, Kronbühl («Chrobel» in dialect) and Bruggwaldpark, plus several scattered settlements. At the Heiligkreuz pilgrimage church, the municipal area extends deep into the city of St. Gallen, and with Hinterberg, Wittenbach has an exclave within the boundaries of Häggenschwil.
A moving company in Wittenbach therefore needs to know exactly where the journey is going. During the survey, we clarify access and the parking spot, in a dense residential neighbourhood just as for a house in the hamlet of Dottenwil.
Almost 300 metres of altitude within the municipality
The bed of the Steinach lies at 490 m above sea level, the Bruggwald near the Peter und Paul wildlife park at 780 m. Near the hamlet of Dottenwil, the castle of the same name stands on a drumlin formed by the Rhine glacier. Differences like these affect furniture transport:
- For addresses on the slope, we check the carrying route and vehicle size particularly carefully.
- If the van cannot get right up to the house, we use a furniture lift if needed.
- For narrow access roads in the scattered settlements, we plan a smaller vehicle.
From embroidery to the metal industry
Industrialisation began in 1869 with the factory embroidery of Stickerei Kronbühl AG. After the embroidery crisis from 1914 onwards, the metal industry in particular developed alongside the textile industry in the post-war period. For businesses, our removals firm handles office relocations outside business hours so that your workshop or office is ready again on the next working day.
Train, trolleybus and main roads
Since 1910, the Bodensee-Toggenburg railway has run through the Bruggwald tunnel, a large part of which lies within the municipality; today the line is part of the St. Gallen S-Bahn. VBSG route 4 links Wittenbach with the city, since 2021 with battery trolleybuses. On the road, main road 451 to Arbon branches off here.
The routes into the surrounding area are correspondingly direct: a move to St. Gallen, a removals firm for Gaiserwald or via main road 451 to our moving company in Arbon. As movers in Wittenbach, we prepare a separate quote for each of these moves within 24 hours.
Questions about Wittenbach
Do you also do removals to Kronbühl and Bruggwaldpark?
Yes. Kronbühl, called Chrobel in dialect, and Bruggwaldpark are districts of the municipality of Wittenbach, as are several scattered settlements. We clarify the parking spot and carrying route for each address during the survey.
Do you also move people to the Hinterberg exclave?
Yes. Hinterberg belongs to Wittenbach but lies as an exclave within the boundaries of the municipality of Häggenschwil. We clarify access in advance and plan the move there like any other within the municipality.
Local moving logistics
Removal logistics in Wittenbach: Kronbühl, Heiligkreuz and Dottenwil
Wittenbach lies between the gorges of the Sitter and Steinach and extends into the built-up area of St. Gallen. Districts, hamlets and an exclave make precise address planning necessary.
Kronbühl
Industrialisation began here in 1869 with Stickerei Kronbühl AG. In older buildings from this period, we check the stairwell and entrance before deciding which furniture will be dismantled.
Area near Heiligkreuz
At the Heiligkreuz pilgrimage church, the municipality extends deep into the city of St. Gallen. For addresses there, we first clarify which municipality they belong to, because this determines where the parking reservation is applied for.
Bruggwaldpark
Alongside Wittenbach and Kronbühl, Bruggwaldpark is one of the municipality's districts. For flats here, we fix the parking spot and vehicle size in advance and protect the lift and stairwell on moving day.
Dottenwil and Unterlören
Both hamlets are listed in the inventory of townscapes worthy of protection. For houses there, we plan more time for carrying routes and include the effort bindingly in the quote.
Parking reservation
If the van has to stand on public ground, we organise the parking reservation with the responsible office in Wittenbach. For addresses on the city boundary, we clarify beforehand whether Wittenbach or St. Gallen is responsible.
Disposal
Entsorgungsplatz WerkhofYou can hand in small quantities yourself at the Entsorgungsplatz Werkhof (municipal depot collection point) at Hofenstrasse 3; details are in the municipality's waste information. We dispose of larger quantities of furniture properly for CHF 65.– per m³.
B2B
Office relocations for industry and trade in Wittenbach
After the embroidery crisis, the metal industry in particular developed in Wittenbach alongside the textile industry. We move workshops and offices outside business hours, and files and binders as an archive move on request.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about moving in Wittenbach
Who helps senior citizens in Wittenbach with their move?
Our team, gently and with plenty of time. Together with you and your relatives, we clarify what is coming along, what is going into storage and what is being disposed of. On moving day, we pack everything on request, transport it and set up the new flat in Wittenbach so that it feels familiar.
How does furniture get to a house on the St. Ulrichsberg near the parish church?
Around the church of St. Ulrich and Schloss Egg (Egg castle), addresses are elevated and every access road is laid out differently. We look at the gradient and turning space in advance and use the smaller van when space is tight. We carry heavy items in twos or threes and secure them in the vehicle before heading down the slope.
Where does the removal van stop at the junction of the main roads to Arbon and Amriswil?
Not directly at the junction but, where possible, in a side street or on a forecourt nearby. If the roadside is the only option, we apply for the space at the responsible office in Wittenbach. With enough staff, we load quickly so that the carriageway is clear again soon.
When is the flat handover in Wittenbach completed with your cleaning service?
On the handover date itself. With end-of-tenancy cleaning with a handover guarantee, our team is present when the property management inspects the flat and re-cleans anything criticised on the spot free of charge. There is no second appointment, which helps especially when time is short alongside work.
What applies when moving from Wittenbach to Roggwil in Thurgau?
Roggwil borders Wittenbach but lies in the Canton of Thurgau. For your car, this means new number plates from the Strassenverkehrsamt (road traffic office) of the new canton; the task appears with a link in your checklist in the customer portal. We move your household goods across the cantonal border in one quote, and apply for the parking spot in Roggwil separately there.
Why is 15-minute billing fair for small moves in Wittenbach?
Because you only pay for the time actually worked, with no rounding up to full hours. A minimum duration of 3 hours applies to every job. If, for example, only one room is moving within Wittenbach, the bill remains clear and easy to follow.
What do you look out for at addresses along trolleybus route 4 to St. Gallen?
The overhead wires above the street and keeping the road clear for the buses. We only set up a furniture lift where there is enough distance from the wires; otherwise we carry through the stairwell. We position the van so that route 4 can pass unhindered, and clarify this during the survey.
