Move stress-free with Hartmann International
As a moving company with over 170 years of experience we accompany you at every step – from the personal consultation through the binding fixed-price quote to furniture assembly at your new home. Your goods are covered by the statutory carrier liability of €620 per cubic metre; on request we arrange extended transport insurance at replacement value. We work with permanent, fairly paid staff and our own fleet instead of subcontractors.
Would you rather not deal with the many side tasks around a move? With our relocation service we take care of that for you – for job-related moves and employee assignments as well as for private customers who want to save time. We handle, among other things, finding a home and checking the tenancy agreement, registration and re-registration at the Detmold citizens’ office, day-care and school places, bank account and insurance, and connecting electricity, internet & co. For moves to or from abroad, visa, residence permit and customs clearance are added. That way you arrive in Detmold relaxed from the very start.

What does a move in Detmold cost?
The cost depends mainly on the volume, distance, floor level and the services you choose. After a personal consultation you receive a binding fixed-price quote with no hidden costs. As a guide, here are our reference prices for local moves in the Detmold area and the Lippe district (up to approx. 50 km):
Note: This guide price is not a binding offer and serves only for orientation. The final price is determined by further factors – e.g. the carrying distance for loading and unloading, heavy-item transport (such as a piano or safe), furniture assembly, floor or lift, and any additional services requested.
Rule of thumb: roughly half of your living space in m² equals the volume in m³ (100 m² ≈ 50 m³); 1 m³ is about 10 moving boxes. Different guide prices apply for regional moves, long-distance moves, office moves and storage – simply ask us.
All figures are guide values. You will receive your exact fixed price after a personal consultation.
No-parking zone in Detmold – we take care of it
A no-parking zone keeps the loading area clear right in front of your door and makes the move faster and gentler – especially in Detmold’s town centre around the Residential Palace and Lange Straße and in narrow, densely built-up streets.
On request we apply for the no-parking zone with the City of Detmold’s public order office and put up the signs in good time. In districts such as Hiddesen, Heiligenkirchen or Pivitsheide with good parking it is often not necessary – we advise you individually based on your moving address.

Frequently asked questions
What does a move in Detmold cost?
The cost depends on volume, distance, floor level and the services you choose. For local moves in the Detmold area and the Lippe district (up to approx. 50 km), guide prices are around €1,500 from 30 m³ (about a 2–3-room flat) and from €2,300 from 50 m³. You receive your exact fixed price after a personal consultation.
How much volume (cubic metres) does my move have?
As a rule of thumb, about half of your living space equals the moving volume: 100 m² ≈ 50 m³. A single household is around 15–20 m³, a 2–3-room flat 30–40 m³ and a larger family household 50–70 m³. 1 m³ is roughly 10 moving boxes.
What is included in a full-service move?
On request we take care of everything: personal consultation, packing material, professional packing and unpacking, furniture and lamp assembly, insured transport, setting up no-parking zones as well as external lift and furniture lift. You can also choose individual services.
Can I also store my furniture in Detmold?
Yes – furniture storage in Detmold is one of our strengths. In our own secured storage facilities we store your belongings short or long term, with no minimum term. A storage container (approx. 32.5 m³) holds about a 2–3-room household; storage rent starts at €50 per month. Ideal if there is a gap between moving out and moving in, or if you need an interim solution in the Lippe district.
Which districts in Detmold do you serve?
We serve all of Detmold – including the town centre, Hiddesen, Berlebeck, Heiligenkirchen, Pivitsheide, Spork-Eichholz, Klüt, Remmighausen, Heidenoldendorf, Jerxen-Orbke, Nienhagen, Diestelbruch and Mosebeck – as well as the Lippe district with Lemgo, Lage, Horn-Bad Meinberg and Blomberg.
How early should I enquire about my move in Detmold?
We recommend enquiring about your move 4–6 weeks in advance – earlier during the peak season from June to August. Thanks to our own teams and fleet, short-notice dates in the Lippe district are often still possible.
Do you also offer senior, company and authority moves in Detmold?
Yes. In addition to private moves we carry out senior, company, office and authority moves in the Lippe district – including project coordination, IT relocation and file storage. One example is the branch relocation of Sparkasse Paderborn-Detmold-Höxter.
Do I need a no-parking zone in Detmold's town centre?
In the town centre around the Residential Palace and Lange Straße and in narrow residential streets we recommend a no-parking zone – we apply for it with the City of Detmold’s public order office and put up the signs in good time. In districts such as Hiddesen or Heiligenkirchen with good parking it is often not necessary.
How long does a move within Detmold take?
Depending on the size of the home, 4–10 hours. Our professionals manage a 2-room flat in 4–6 hours and a 4-room move in 8–10 hours. Additional services such as furniture dismantling or packing can extend the duration.
Moving from Detmold to Paderborn or Bielefeld – what should I consider?
Both routes (around 35–40 km each) are easily done in a day. Remember to re-register within 14 days and to switch electricity, internet and insurance. We organise transport and full service from packing to furniture assembly.
How far is Hartmann International from Detmold?
Our headquarters in Paderborn are around 35–40 km from Detmold – about a 45-minute drive. With our own teams, truck fleet and storage facilities we are therefore quickly and flexibly at your service throughout the Lippe district.
Which documents do I need to re-register in Detmold?
At the citizens’ office of the City of Detmold you need your ID card or passport and the landlord’s confirmation of residence; for a family move also birth/marriage certificates. Re-registration must take place within 14 days and is free of charge.
