Dont Make Moving Abroad Even More Stressful than it Already is
Moving house is one of the most stressful things you ever have to deal with. It’s bad enough just moving down the road, never mind leaving the UK entirely and heading abroad. No matter how far you’re going, whether you’re moving to France or moving to Switzerland, or just a few streets over, you want to settle quickly and start to make the most of your new environment.
The more possessions and items of furniture you have, the more complicated your move will be. If you don’t have a big family and you’re not moving too far, it will be pretty straightforward. You’ll be able to rope in friends and family to help you out, which is a real help. Also, you won’t have to deal with so much emotional upheaval, as you know the area and it’s all familiar territory. By going further afield and heading abroad, you’ll find so much more to contend with. Not only will not know where things are like shops and schools, you’ll have to overcome language and cultural barriers.
Moving involves so much more than just shifting boxes and furniture. A big move is a life changing experience. If you are moving to France or moving to Switzerland, or indeed any other European country, professional help from international removers is going to make the whole process a little easier.
Imagine if your treasured possessions get held up at customs or they get damaged or lost. The move will be stressful enough without these unwelcome stresses and mishaps. By enlisting the help and services of a specialist international removal company, they can handle the whole process for you. From packing up, through the completion of all paperwork and documentation, to getting your items safe and sound to the other end without any problems. Leaving you free to focus on the excitement of your new life in Europe. After all, you’ll have plenty to do. Enrolling children in school, sorting out your working arrangements and generally getting a head start so you can settle as quickly as possible.

Moving to Duisburg
Located in the western part of the German state of North Rihne-Westphalia, Duisburg is part of the Regierungsbezirk Düsseldorf metropolitan area, along with the larger city of Düsseldorf. Thanks to its excellent positioning, access to the world’s largest in-land harbor, and proximity to a major international airport, the city is a commercial and industrial hub known primarily for its steelworks.
Duisburg has a population of close to 490,000 inhabitants, and ranks as the fifteenth most populous city in the country. Over time, the settlement absorbed numerous smaller towns in the surrounding area, resulting in today’s sprawling urban development.
As a major center of the Ruhr coal mining and steelmaking area, Duisburg’s development has been closely related to heavy industry. While in the recent decades, the contribution of mining and steelmaking to the local economy has decreased, the city is still home to the last remaining blast furnaces in the Ruhr region. According to the most recent statistics, almost half of all hot metal in Germany and one third of all pig-iron is processed in Duisburg.
But Duisburg is known for more than just heavy industry. The renowned Konig Pilsener beer is produced at a large brewery outside of Duisburg, and the town is also home to a university that enrolls close to 40,000 students, ranking in the top ten universities in the country.
The city’s cultural life centers around the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, one of the most prominent German institutions of its kind, and the philharmonic orchestra that regularly tours Europe.
Duisburg’s architectural patrimony includes various landmarks, from the Inland Waterways Museum, to the 1,100-year old St Johann the Baptist church, and the modernist Micro-Electronic-Centrum. Urban explorers should be happy to learn about the Landschaftspark, a former industrial complex that is now open for visiting. For shopping and promenade, Duisburg’s residents prefer the city center and its main commercial street, the so-called “fountain mile”, as well as the city’s parks and botanical garden.

Moving to Krefeld
Krefeld, also called the “Velvet and Silk City”, is a German city situated in North Rhine-Westphalia, to the northwest of Düsseldorf.
The city was founded by the Roman legions from the military camp of Gelduba. It was documentary attested for the first time in 1105 and named Krinvelde. Uerdingen, a district of the city of Krefeld, was initially attested as a city in 1255, being more important than Krefeld.
Krefeld started to develop in the 17th century, but it suffered the horrors of the Thirty Years War.
In 1683 due to overpopulation, thirteen families (Quakers and Mennonites) members of different religious movements left Krefeld and crossed the Atlantic to the New World. Over time, the various dialects spoken by these immigrants fused into a unique dialect known as Pennsylvania Dutch or Pennsylvania German. The Pennsylvania German ethnic identity was set in Germantown (now incorporated in Philadelphia).
Unlike Krefeld, Uerdingen was less fortunate being completely destroyed in the Thirty Years’ War by troops from Hesse and almost ceased to exist.
Krefeld passed to the Kingdom of Prussia (a German kingdom between 1701 and 1918) after the death of William III of Orange in 1702. In 1758 took place the Battle of Krefeld between a Prussian-Hanoverian army and a French army, during the Seven Years’ War.
In 1815 Krefeld and Uerdingen were included in the Prussian Province of Jülich-Cleves-Berg which became in1822 the Rhine Province) the westernmost province of the Kingdom of Prussia. In 1872 Krefeld was an independent city in Rhenish Prussia. During the occupation of the Rhineland in the First World War Krefeld became the base of the Belgian Army. In 1929 Krefeld and Uerdingen merged to form Krefeld-Uerdingen and in 1940 the name was shortened to simply Krefeld. After World War II the town became part of the new state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
