International or Dutch: Education in Holland
Moving to Germany your options are pretty simple, however moving to Holland will have you tearing your hair out at the complexity of the Dutch education system! The simple fact (one of the only simple things about education in the Netherlands!) is that education of Holland is all about providing students of all ages with a broad choice of learning, commitment and qualification options.
So, when moving to Holland, what are you legal obligations in terms of children’s education? Under Dutch law, children from ALL nationalities residing in Holland are required to attend school between the ages of five and eighteen years.
International schooling is available at both private and public schools throughout Holland. Both are mostly free, “Private” usually more accurately means “Specialist”. Since 1917, equal state funding has been available to all types of school (e.g. those with particular religious conviction, subject focus, education ideologies etc), increasing the number of privately run establishments significantly.
Choosing the right school for your brood depends on a number of factors; amongst them are length of stay, children’s ages, financial situation, location and study aims. For example, if relocating to Holland with very young children, assimilation into a Dutch-speaking public or private school could help them settle. Older children could reconcile with the move more effectively through education at an International School.
Specific International Special Schools are rare, and entry is usually via referral. However, some international, and many public and private schools, provide Special Needs teachers. Dutch education places great emphasis on educating students with special needs in mainstream schools.
Stress Reduction Techniques
Why is moving house considered to be so stressful? Assuming we do accept that it is stressful, the question then becomes, “What can we possibly do to reduce this stress?” If we have already accepted that moving house is stressful, supposing we add an additional layer of complication by, for example, moving to Germany, or moving to France, or another continental Europe country such as Belgium, Spain, The Netherlands or Switzerland?
Planning your move carefully is vital to reducing the amount of stress you may experience. Every single step of the moving process can benefit from a bit of planning, although it is fair to acknowledge that some less critical aspects can be done on the hoof, if intricate planning is not your thing. As most of us will have limited experience in the moving process, effective planning will benefit greatly from some expert input. Taking the example of moving to Germany and we believe that, at European Removal Experts, we are the first choice experts to help with both the planning and execution of your move.
We are a London-based company. This puts us in the ideal geographic location for arranging moving from the UK to Germany or the continent. For different individuals and families, a move can represent very different things. For some it is simply a matter of a few items being despatched to a second residence or for others, a complete house move abroad. As a result, there is no one-size-fits-all moving technique. Our services include dedicated removal vehicles for complete house moves but it is also possible to share space within containers for cost effective lower volume removals.
Ensuring that your goods pass freely through customs and that your belongings are not held up through a misunderstanding of local or regional practices is achieved through the expert knowledge that many typical removal firms may not necessarily be able to offer.

Useful Advice for Moving to Germany
If you are thinking of moving to Germany with your job, you will want to make sure you choose the home which is right for you. If you are moving to Germany alone, this is not such a problem, but if you are taking your family you will need to do some homework on how to find the right accommodation.
Depending on the location you choose, finding a flat or house is similar to the way you would do it here in the UK, but there are some differences which you should be aware of before moving to Germany. For example, don’t expect to see a ‘For Sale’ sign outside a property. In Germany, this is not a common way of advertising that a property is available for sale or rent.
Many properties are published in the newspapers, and in the last few years property websites have sprung up which provide extensive listings on apartments and houses for sale as well as rental units. These websites also have extensive information on financing and other topics related to buying and renting property for those who are moving to Germany.
One term to watch out for when looking at property adverts is ‘Grosszügige Räume’, which translates as ‘large room’ or ‘very spacious’. As estate agents all over the world employ the same tactics when it comes to describing a property, this actually means that the house is very expensive to heat, which is something you may want to bear in mind when you are moving to Germany.

Rotterdam is known as having the largest port in Europe that was until 2004 the busiest port too until it got surpassed by Shanghai. The city bases its strategic and commercial importance on the location it occupies, being near the mouth of the New Meuse channel that leads directly into the centre of Europe.
Regarding the Rotterdam architecture, the city has several high-rise buildings that are defining of the city’s skyline. Such one building is the Witte Huis that was completed back in 1989 and reaches the high of 15 meters. Several other buildings were built in the early 20th century that adopted the modern style architecture, such as the clubhouse of the Royal Maas Yacht Club and the Feyenoord football stadium.
After the bombings took place in World War II, along with the lives lost then, many of the old buildings in the centre were destroyed. While rebuilding these, the centre of Rotterdam became a place where ambitious new architecture found its home.
Another famous architectural structure has been built by the architect Piet Blom back in 1984, namely the cube houses. Overall there are many famous architects that are bases in Rotterdam such as Erick van Egeraat and Neutelings & Riedijk.
In Rotterdam there are also several annual events that are only found in the city, such as the largest Caribbean carnival in Europe named the Zomercarnaval. Other examples of these events are the Bavaria City Race which is a formula 1 race that takes place inside the centre of the city or the World Port Days that is actually held in honour of the Port of Rotterdam and it takes place over the course of three whole days.
Rotterdam is also famous for being the home of the Erasmus University which concentrates its studies on education in management, economics and research. Several multinational firms surround the university that is located in the east of the city.
The city also has a strong cultural appeal and was once named as the European Capital of Culture back in 2001. Rotterdam has a grand orchestra named the Rotterdam Philharmonic and several theatres and movie theatres. There is also a major zoo located at the northwest of the city, named Diergaarde Blijdorp.
The city has several important museums that can be visited such as the Netherlands Architecture Institute and the Ethnographic Museum. There is also a historical shipyard and museum known as the Scheepwerf ‘De Delft’. Here you can visit the ship of the line Delft which was reconstructed and opened to the public.
There are various things to do in Rotterdam and many of which are well worth doing. Whatever you might desire to find there you will probably find it if you search a little. So don’t stay on ceremony and start a new stage of your life in Rotterdam. No matter what you have to move to be there, we can move it for you.

By specialising in moves between the UK and the European continent, we are able to make moving to Germany as seamless as possible. We are a London-based company as this is the perfect location for our operation. We are close to hand for the most densely populated area of the UK and conveniently close to the most common route for travelling between the UK and mainland Europe.
When moving to Germany the types of things that you will need to consider are how you wish to plan your move. Some people will want the entire house move experience to be handled for them from packing to unloading whilst others may select a range of specific items to be moved on their behalf for them and handling the rest themselves.
If renting a furnished property, moving to Germany may simply mean moving your more personal belongings and possibly a certain key piece of furniture without which life would simply not be the same. For these reasons, we offer a variety of services. If cost is an issue, goods can be moved on a shared container basis rather than in a dedicated removal vehicle. Even if you do use a dedicated van, less key items could be moved at a later date using our shared shipments. This may also create a need for storage which is also a service that we offer. A well planned move with an experienced removal firm will make moving to Germany as easy as ABC.

Moving to Heidelberg
Fully enjoy yourself in Heidelberg!
Heidelberg is located in south-west Germany and is the fifth largest city in the State of Baden- Württemberg. It is also part of the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region which is highly populated. The city is situated in a steep valley in the Odenwald, on the Neckar River.
The Electorate of the Palatinate had its residence in Heidelberg and also there is a well known university, the Heidelberg University. Heidelberg has a romantic cityscape which makes it popular to the tourists. The picturesque landscape includes the Heidelberg Castle and the Old Town which exposes a beautiful baroque style.
The Old Town is located on the South bank of the river and stretches on a long a narrow way.
The main street of the town is called Hauptstrasse and it runs the length of the old town, a mile-long pedestrian street.
There also is a stone bridge build around 1786 and that has an old medieval bridge gate on the side of the old town. That gate was originally part of the town wall. Furthermore, baroque tower helmets were constructed as part of the bridge.
In the marketplace of the bridge there is a late Gothic style church named the Church of the Holy Spirit.
Another wonderful sight you can visit if you’re ever there is Karl’s gate also known as Karlstor that is a triumphal arch located at Heidelberg east side and that was built in honour of Prince Elector Karl Theodor.
One of the few buildings to survive the War of Succession stands across the Church of the Holy Spirit and is called Knight St. George. The style the house expresses is that of late Renaissance and its name came to be as a response to the statue at the top.
There is a 16th century building on the River Neckar, which now serves as a cafeteria for the students and is known as The Marstall. The building served several purposes throughout the history of the town.
The Heidelberg Castle dominates the Old Town and it is built in a mixture of styles from Reinaissence to Gothic. The first building built in the inner courtyard was a royal residence and was divided into a ground floor made of stone and at the upper levels framework. It’s named after its founder Prince Elector Ruprecht III. Opposite of the Ruprecht Building is the Fountain Hall. The hall’s columns are said to have been brought by Prince Elector Philipp from a decayed palace of Charlemagne from Ingelheim.
In the 16th and 17th century two more palace buildings were added and the Prince Electors turned the fortress into a castle.
During the rule of Ottheinrich and Friedrich IV, two more dominant building were constructed on the eastern and northern side of the courtyard. During Friedrich V the “English Building” was constructed which is the main building on the west side.
During the Thirty Years’ War and the Palatine War of Succession, the castle and it’s garden have been destroyed more than once, and even though rebuilding it was started, after lightning struck the plans to restore it were abandoned. In 1800 Count Charles de Graimberg began preservation of the castle.
Although Heidelberg Castle shows an interior in Gothic styles, the well-known King’s Hall wasn’t built until 1934. The hall is now used for various festivities such as balls and theatre performances.
The park that surrounds the Heidelberg Castle is where a famous poet named Johann von Goethe once wandered.
Other sight worth seeing are the Philosophers’ Walk which runs on the sire of Saints’ Mountain; Heidelberg churches such as The Church of Holy Spirit, the Catholic Church of the Jesuit and the oldest church in Heidelberg, namely St. Peter’s church build sometime during the 12th century.
In Heidelberg there are several note-worthy events such as the Ball der Vampire, Heidelberg Spring, Frühlingsmesse on the Messeplatz where fireworks will be set off and the bridge and castle will ne illuminated. Also in September, the Old Town Autumn Festival takes place. There you can find a flea market, an arts and crafts market, a Medieval Marker and music ranging from Samba to Rock.
