Limburg’s old town sits on a limestone rock rising steeply above the Lahn valley — picturesque for visitors, awkward for anyone who has to get a wardrobe up the lane. We do not price such addresses with a flat guess; we check beforehand how far it is from the last possible stopping point to the flat door. Those metres cost time, and time belongs in the quote, not on the final bill.
The procedure: key facts into the fixed-price calculator or a mail to info@umzugschef.de, a survey on request on site or by video call, then a written quote with the final amount.
The districts we work in
Kernstadt with the old town and Neustadt, plus Staffel, Offheim, Eschhofen, Linter, Lindenholzhausen, Dietkirchen and Ahlbach. We also serve the new housing areas on the edge of town — access there is usually easier than the turning circle.
What a move costs in Limburg
Two movers with a van: €89 per hour. From Frankfurt it is a good 74 road kilometres, 20 of them included in the hourly rate; the rest costs €1.20 per kilometre, here around €66. Three rooms, second floor with no lift on either side: €630–830 as the working estimate, travel included. Every line is open on prices, the wider context under moving costs.
Commuters, the ICE and a new address
Limburg Süd sits on the Cologne–Rhine/Main high-speed line, which is why many people live here and work elsewhere. If a job brings you in or takes you away, the date usually hangs on the flat handover. We hold your preferred day without commitment until the key date is fixed — no deposit, no price change.
Halteverbot in the old town
Between half-timbered houses and the pedestrian zone, only an approved temporary no-parking zone helps. We handle the application and the signs with the city of Limburg, list the fee separately and add nothing on top.
Liability and payment
Every piece we transport is covered by law: €620 per cubic metre of load under § 451e HGB. Payment is due once the move is done — by bank transfer or in cash. We never ask for a deposit.
Nearby towns
Up the Lahn, Wetzlar is about 40 kilometres away, with Gießen further east. To the south our team in Frankfurt takes over, towards the Rheingau Wiesbaden.
What happens if the street is closed?
We check the access the day before. If there are roadworks or a closure, we shift the stopping point and tell you in advance what that means for the carry distance — not once the van is already there.
Do I get boxes from you?
Yes, we bring moving boxes and packing material: boxes, bubble wrap, wardrobe boxes. Unused material goes back; you only pay for what you actually packed.
