Moving on Sunday: Permitted,
but with Rules

Not everyone can take time off for the move – and that’s precisely why many think about a move on a Sunday. Sounds sensible at first. But is it allowed? Yes – but with restrictions. Sundays and public holidays are considered rest days. This means: quiet is allowed, loud quickly becomes tricky.

So, if you’re privately carrying a few boxes, using a small van, or quietly bringing your things from one place to another, you’re generally not doing anything wrong. However, as soon as it comes to furniture assembly, drilling, or loud renovation work, it can become legally difficult – and cause annoyance for the neighbors.

Typical Restrictions:

  • No drilling or hammering work
  • Only small moving vehicles permitted
  • No trips with trucks > 7.5t
  • Consideration for quiet hours
  • Be aware of regional differences

Moving on Sunday with a Moving Company –
sensibly organized

If Sunday is the only day that works – then what’s needed above all is good planning. With an experienced team, the move will run smoothly even on a rest day.

That’s exactly what we at Stier Umzüge take on: We come with a small truck, work quietly, and know what’s allowed. Instead of a drill: furniture sliders. Instead of stress with the public order office: forward-thinking planning. And if something is unclear, we check with the authorities beforehand. Simple, fair, and considerate.

What is
Allowed when Moving on a Public Holiday – and what is not

Not only Sundays, but also many public holidays like All Saints’ Day are considered so-called “quiet days.” Additional restrictions are possible here – especially in states like Bavaria or NRW. In Berlin, it’s often more relaxed. But even here, you should avoid noise that is more than necessary.

Many underestimate how loud a move can be – especially in old buildings or houses with thin walls. The hand truck on the wooden floor or assembling a wardrobe can quickly be perceived as a disturbance of the peace on a Sunday move. Therefore, the rule is: much is possible – but only with the necessary sensitivity.

What usually goes smoothly:

  • Carrying boxes and bags
  • Moving smaller furniture
  • Driving with a small van
  • Getting by without large tools

Moving Costs on Sunday:
What Changes?

A Sunday move often costs a bit more – due to surcharges for personnel, restricted times, and additional coordination. In return, you save on vacation or lost work time.

Factors influencing the price:

  • Number of helpers
  • Carrying distances & floor levels
  • Vehicle size (truck vs. van)
  • Regional special regulations
  • Public holiday surcharges

We offer fair package prices – individually tailored. Simply tell us what you need – we calculate transparently.

Frequently Asked Questions on “Basic Security Benefits and Moving”

If the previous apartment is too large, too expensive, or no longer tolerable for health reasons – or if the social welfare office demands the move.

The responsible social welfare office covers the costs, provided the move has been approved. This includes transport, helpers, possibly double rent or renovation.

No, moving costs can also be approved with Bürgergeld – timely application with a plausible justification is important.

If, for example, illness or disability makes a home uninhabitable, the office may even declare the move necessary – then the chances of cost coverage increase.
