Move to Berlin – Professional Support from KOCH
What should I organize when moving to Berlin?
When moving to Berlin, the volume of belongings, distance, accessibility of both the old and new home, and any additional services required should be planned in advance. In Berlin's historic residential areas, narrow staircases, high floors and delicate wooden floors can create particular challenges when moving furniture. Parking and loading options at the destination, as well as any temporary storage that may be required, should also be considered during the planning process.
KOCH supports you in organizing your move and, if required, can coordinate packing, furniture assembly, kitchen work, transportation, temporary storage and other services.

KOCH plans furniture deliveries accordingly and uses suitable protective equipment. According to KOCH, its teams are specially trained to handle historic buildings and architectural features.
Modern neighborhoods and central locations can also present specific challenges when it comes to deliveries. For this reason, the conditions at the destination are taken into account during the planning stage.
