In short: A move to or from Regensburg is connected to one certified FIDI FAIM partner mover, free and with no obligation to book. Since Brexit, UK to Regensburg 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.
Regensburg and Munich: Regensburg is 100km north-east of Munich. It is distinct from Munich in its character and employer base. The BMW Regensburg plant produces different vehicle series from the Munich plant and draws a separate workforce. If your delivery address is in Munich, use the Munich removals guide.
Czech Republic proximity: The Czech border at Waidhaus is approximately 80km north-east of Regensburg on the A6. Regensburg is the first major Bavarian city west of the Czech border, and some professionals working in cross-border manufacturing roles choose Regensburg for its combination of Bavarian infrastructure and border proximity.
Regensburg is one of Bavaria's most important industrial and university cities. The BMW Regensburg plant is one of the company's largest European production sites, manufacturing models including the BMW 1 Series and BMW 3 Series. It employs thousands of production workers, engineers and logistics professionals, drawing international staff from across the EU and beyond. Continental Teves, which manufactures braking and safety systems in Regensburg, is another significant employer of international engineers. People search for this in different ways, but overseas removals to Regensburg, house removals to Regensburg and international removals all describe the same job, and the removal services quoted here cover all of them.
The University of Regensburg, founded in 1962, has around 22,000 students and is strong in law, medicine, natural sciences and economics. The city also hosts OTH Regensburg (Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule), a technical university of applied sciences with particularly strong engineering and business programmes linked to regional industry. Together these institutions generate substantial international academic and research moves.

It produces passenger vehicle models and employs a large workforce of production engineers, quality managers, logistics coordinators and IT professionals.

Other automotive suppliers and components manufacturers in the Regensburg industrial cluster include Infineon Technologies, which has a semiconductor production site in Regensburg, and a range of Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers.

The University of Regensburg has around 22,000 students and is particularly well regarded in law, medicine, biology and economics.

Both institutions generate international academic moves, especially around the October semester start.
