Move to Essen – Your moving company KOCH Moving Logistics for stress-free moves to the Green Metropolis of the Ruhr region
YOUR CITY OF TRANSFORMATION WITH A GREEN HEART
Welcome to Essen
LIVING AND FEELING GOOD IN ESSEN
Essen delights as a city with deep historical roots and at the same time as a modern metropolis. The sense of life is shaped by the impressive industrial culture of the Zollverein coal mine, the winding alleys of the historic centre of Werden (one of the city's two historic centres, over 1,100 years old and one of the most popular residential areas in the south), as well as the creative flair of vibrant districts such as Rüttenscheid and the Südviertel.Numerous museums, the Aalto Theatre, the Grillo Theatre and the Essen Philharmonic Hall offer a rich cultural programme. At the same time, the city offers plenty of space for local recreation and sport with Lake Baldeney, Grugapark and the extensive landscape of the Ruhr region.
Essen is also an internationally connected city and maintains partnerships with cities such as Grenoble, Tampere and Tel Aviv‑Yafo..
EDUCATION, CAREER AND PERSPECTIVES
Essen ranks among the most important scientific and economic centres in North Rhine‑Westphalia. With several universities and research institutions, the city is a strong centre of education and science.
The economic strength of the region is reflected in the high number of jobs and its international orientation. Companies from the energy industry (RWE, E.ON, Evonik), technology, services, trade (RWE, E.ON, Evonik, Thyssenkrupp, Hochtief and GALERIA all have their corporate headquarters here) and the creative industries shape the economic hub. Essen Trade Fair also ranks among the top ten trade fair venues in Germany. The city actively supports the recruitment of skilled workers and the successful structural transformation from the mining industry to a modern service and technology location. That is why career starters, experienced professionals and families alike find attractive prospects in a dynamic, economically growing region.
Leisure, culture and family friendliness
After the move comes discovery: Essen offers a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. The Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex with the Ruhr Museum and Red Dot Design Museumis the city's landmark and attracts visitors from all over the world as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Museum Folkwang ranks among the most important art museums in Germany. The Aalto Music Theatre is one of the best opera houses in the German‑speaking world. In addition, the Lichtburg – Germany's largest historic movie palace – draws cinema enthusiasts.
For families, Grugapark (with a large playground and animal enclosures), Lake Baldeney (with swimming areas, water sports and a marina), Krupp Park and the extensive network of paths in the Ruhr region offer ideal day‑trip destinations. Through the municipal swimming pool operator, families can also enjoy affordable swimming..
1 How does a move work in the listed buildings of Essen's old town (e.g., in Werden or Kettwig)?
The listed buildings from the 18th/19th centuries with their winding alleys and narrow access points present special challenges. We know the local conditions, plan deliveries using suitable vehicles, and professionally protect sensitive floors and historic building fabric.
2 Do you have experience with moves to the prefabricated housing estates such as Altenessen-Süd, Frohnhausen or Altendorf?
Yes, we are familiar with these large housing estate districts, where many people live and rents are moderate. Our teams know how to work efficiently in these residential complexes with lifts and large numbers of apartments.
3 Do you also offer special services for students at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Folkwang University or the other higher education institutions?
Absolutely. With several tens of thousands of students in Essen, we offer affordable partial moves for student dormitories, shared flats and individuals. We are also happy to collect furniture or dispose of old items.
4 Can I book a move just for my kitchen or an office?
Yes, you can select exactly the services you need from our modular service range. Small moves, pure assembly of a new fitted kitchen, or transport of office equipment are all part of our everyday service.
5 Do you assist with moves for seniors or people with disabilities?
Certainly. We offer particularly personal assistance, help with careful packing and unpacking, handle the complete organisation and ensure barrier‑free processes – whether moving to age‑appropriate housing or a care facility. The city of Essen also maintains funding funds and contact persons for voluntary engagement, who provide support if needed.
