In short: A move to or from Erlangen is connected to one certified FIDI FAIM partner mover, free and with no obligation to book. Since Brexit, UK to Erlangen moves need customs clearance, but used household goods can enter duty-free and VAT-free under Transfer of Residence rules on Form 0350. Moves from within the EU need no customs declaration.
You register your new address (Anmeldung) after arrival, then choose groupage, a dedicated vehicle or air freight. The partner mover confirms the full document list for your route.
Erlangen and Nuremberg: Erlangen is 20km north of Nuremberg and is a separate city with its own Bürgeramt. The two cities form part of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region but have distinct postcodes and administrations. If your delivery address is in Nuremberg, use the Nuremberg removals guide.
Siemens Healthineers note: Siemens Healthineers was listed as an independent company in 2018 and is headquartered in Erlangen. It employs around 70,000 people globally and manufactures medical imaging systems including MRI scanners, CT scanners and X-ray equipment. Erlangen is the company's main engineering, development and manufacturing base. International medical engineers, physicists and clinical specialists moving to Erlangen for Siemens Healthineers roles make up a significant share of the city's international removals.
Erlangen's economy is built around two anchors: Siemens Healthineers and Friedrich-Alexander-Universität. Siemens Healthineers, headquartered on the Siemens Campus in Erlangen, designs and manufactures medical imaging and laboratory diagnostics equipment. It draws biomedical engineers, physicists, software engineers and clinical specialists from the UK, USA, Netherlands, India and across the EU. Moves are typically tied to fixed contract start dates, so lead time planning is important. People search for this in different ways, but overseas removals to Erlangen, house removals to Erlangen and international removals all describe the same job, and the removal services quoted here cover all of them.
FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg is one of Germany's oldest and largest universities, with around 40,000 students spread across campuses in Erlangen and Nuremberg. Its strongest faculties are engineering, natural sciences and medicine. The university hospital in Erlangen is one of Bavaria's major teaching hospitals, employing international medical staff on an ongoing basis. The wider Siemens AG technology campus in Erlangen also houses significant Siemens AG divisions alongside the Healthineers subsidiary.
