Krügel Umzugslogistik GmbH

What Krügel Umzugslogistik GmbH does

Krügel Umzugslogistik GmbH is a privately held Hamburg-based moving and logistics company founded in 1995, operating as a full-service relocation provider for private households, corporate clients, government/diplomatic customers and senior citizens across Germany, Europe and worldwide. Its core offering is organized into eight move verticals (private, company, office, employee, senior, military, overseas and premium), supplemented by specialized transport services (furniture, kitchen, art, piano, special loads), six storage formats (rental units, furniture, container, swap-body, interim, commercial warehouse) and a stack of add-on services including packing, assembly, furniture lifts, no-stopping-zone permits, disposal and transport insurance. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with published reference ranges from €400 for a regional 1–2 room move up to €3,000+ for long-distance or international jobs, plus installment financing from €199 per month through a partner bank.

The technology layer is a Laravel-based web application (app.kruegel-umzuege.de) supporting a 24/7 self-service quote workflow that combines an online moving calculator, a photo-based "Digitale Besichtigung" (digital viewing) tool that lets customers photograph their goods via smartphone for remote assessment, and a personal video consultation channel. This digital stack sits alongside a sales-led go-to-market motion comprising a hotline (040-25 30 36-0), named account managers, on-site inspections and referral-driven acquisition through the Confern moving partner network. Marketing relies on Google Ads, a content-rich bilingual website, social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) and a strong customer-reviews loop.

Revenue is generated transactionally per move and per storage contract, with storage and installment-financed moves introducing a recurring/contractual element. Operations are ISO 14001-certified and marketed as climate-neutral using a EURO 6 fleet with electromobility initiatives, and the company is a licensed removal operator under BALM (license D-02-001-G-0393). Alexander von Drathen serves as Managing Director, with Annett Berlin and Marco Bock as authorized signatories.
