Moving from Lingen to Hannover

[Preetam 6]

Hallo All,

hope you all are doing well.

I've to move to Hannover because Job change in July

I'm trying to find the order in which I should proceed.

 

 

I know I have to 

1. Abmelden from Lingen, Niedersachen

2. Find Apartment in Hannover

3. Get my kids admission in the schule

4. Anmelden in Hannover

5. Tell me my Vermieter I have to moved to different city (2 months Kündigungfrist)

 

I'm not sure which order I should proceed. The difficult thing for me to decide is, whether I should first find apartment in Hannover and then check for the School admission. 

And How early should I find the apartment? If I find now and move in July, then schools are already closed in July because of summer. can someone give advice here?

 

Also, how should I secure admission in the school? do I have to call each school?

1. Find apartment in Hannover

2. Tell Vermieter you are leaving (you'll have to pay for 2 more months)

3. Anmelden in Hannover (Abmeldung in Lingen happens automatically, unless you check "alte Wohnung wird beibehalten" on the Anmeldeformular)

4. register your kids for school in your district in Hannover (no need to call around, unless you want some special private school for your kids)

 

How "early" you find an apartment? I'd try to have the move completed, before the new job starts. Moving a family and starting a new job all at once can be stressful. But then - I don't know, how hard it is to find suitable accommodation in Hannover.

Also letting the kids finish the school year in one location and starting the next school year in the new location would be quite neat.

Thank you @karin_brenig, you made me think clear as water. 

How do I register my kids?  Do you mean calling Jugendamt?

 

@kiplette Thanks a lot for adding in. This is also our plan. But can we register our kids before the next year starts?

As soon as you find a flat, look at schools and check which Bezirk you are in for Grundschule kids, or choose which secondary school you would like (if they'll have you) and approach the school. They will tell you what to do. They will certainly want to know your kids are coming before next year starts

I think that's the map for the primary schools and their respective catchment areas. My computer is misbehaving and won't let me look properly, sorry.
