Moving helpers in Leipzig: carrying, loading, assembling

A moving helper costs 25 €/hr per person. If you already have a van or rent one, we carry, load and assemble furniture. If you have no vehicle, we bring ours. Short notice is possible too, and you get an invoice for tax purposes.

For a whole flat, the package with two people and a van often pays off: 289 € for three hours. We give the fixed price after a few photos.

Rented a van? Then helpers are enough

The most common case: you have rented a van or are driving yourself, but you are two people short to do the carrying. That is exactly what moving helpers are for: we come without a vehicle and get stuck in.

  • Carrying through the stairwell, even without a lift
  • Loading so that nothing shifts, blankets and straps are ours
  • Unloading and carrying everything into the right rooms
  • Wardrobes and beds dismantled and reassembled for 35 €/hr
  • Washing machine, fridge and other heavy items
  • Piano or safe only by arrangement

No van yet? Then do the sums: with our driver there is no rental desk, no Kaution (deposit) and no question of who drives. More on this under furniture transport.

How many moving helpers do you need?

The number of helpers depends less on square metres than on stairs, heavy items and whether everything is packed.

Two helpers are enough

  • 1–2 rooms
  • A lift, or no higher than the second floor
  • The boxes are packed
  • No special items like a piano or a safe

Three is better

  • 3 rooms or more
  • Third floor or higher without a lift
  • Many heavy single items
  • Everything has to be finished in one day

We are a family-run crew and come as two. If you need three people, we will tell you when you enquire how that can work on your date. Often it is also enough if someone from your side helps carry.

How to save hours

Pack and label the boxes beforehand, empty the wardrobes, clear the routes and make sure the van can stand close to the building. How to do that is explained under Halteverbot (no-parking zone) in Leipzig.

Moving helpers: a crew or private helpers?

For a few boxes to the next house, friends are often enough. For a whole flat the comparison is worth it, because the price per hour is not the only difference:

  • Invoice: For a private move, the labour cost of moving helpers can be deducted from your tax as a household-related service (haushaltsnahe Dienstleistung), but only with an invoice and a bank transfer. More under deducting moving costs.
  • Equipment: We bring blankets, straps and tools.
  • Damage: We are liable for damage we cause within the limits of the law. We do not have goods-in-transit insurance (Güterversicherung), and we say so openly. With private helpers, it is best to clarify this yourself beforehand.
  • Reliability: Whoever agrees, turns up. You talk directly to the people who do the carrying.

Students will find more tips under student moves.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions about moving helpers in Leipzig

What does a moving helper cost in Leipzig?
With us it is 25 €/hr per person. So two helpers for three hours cost 150 €. There is no travel charge within 50 km of Leipzig. For longer distances we quote one total price from your photos, travel included.
How many moving helpers do I need?
For 1–2 rooms with a lift, or no higher than the second floor, two are usually enough. From three rooms, from the third floor up without a lift, or with many heavy items, three people are better.
Can I book moving helpers for just a few hours?
Yes, we charge by the hour. Tell us what needs doing and we will say beforehand roughly how long it will take.
Do the helpers bring a van?
Only if you want that. A driver with our own van costs 30 €/hr — if you have already rented a van, we come without a vehicle.
Can I deduct moving helpers from my tax?
For a private move, the labour costs count as a household-related service. For that you need an invoice with the labour costs shown separately and a bank transfer; cash payments are not recognised.
Is my furniture insured?
We do not have goods-in-transit insurance, and we say so openly before you book. We are liable for damage we cause within the limits of the law. For very valuable items, it is better to use a removal company with insurance cover.
How quickly can I get moving helpers?
Often within the next few days, if the day is free with us. Towards the end of the month it gets busier. Just write to us with your preferred date.
Do you also come to Markkleeberg and the surrounding area?
Yes, for example to Markkleeberg, Taucha, Schkeuditz and Halle. There is no travel charge within 50 km of Leipzig. For longer distances we quote one total price from your photos, travel included.
