Your freight forwarder in Freiburg im Breisgau: direct road freight from the UK
Getting goods from Britain to the far south-west of Germany is simplest without detours, and that is exactly what you get when you choose DAGO Express as your freight forwarder in Freiburg im Breisgau. We load your consignment at your premises in the UK and deliver it directly to the recipient in the Black Forest region. As there is no groupage depot on the way, your shipment is not combined with other freight or moved onto another vehicle. This reduces the risk of damage, even on a long route right across France.
A vehicle generally reaches your site 60 to 120 minutes after booking. If a fixed time suits your warehouse better, just choose one. Measured over all our transports, punctuality stands at 99.5 %, so installation dates and production starts can be planned reliably.
What we transport to the Breisgau region
Medical devices and laboratory supplies, solar and environmental technology, electronic components, machine parts, furniture, printed matter and material for trade fairs are among our regular loads. The service also works in the opposite direction: firms in Freiburg and the surrounding area send a single pallet delivery or a full load to their customers in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland with the same booking process.

Logistics in Freiburg: research, health and green technology
Freiburg im Breisgau has around 230,000 inhabitants and lies between the Rhine plain and the western slopes of the Black Forest, close to both France and Switzerland. The university, founded in 1457, is one of the oldest in Germany. Together with its university hospital, it has made the city a centre for medicine, life sciences and medical technology. Numerous research institutes, including Fraunhofer institutes working on solar energy and materials, add to the scientific profile.
Freiburg is often described as a green city, and environmental technology, solar companies and sustainable construction play a visible role in the local economy. Pharmaceutical and medical technology firms, precision engineering, the service sector and tourism complete the picture. For British suppliers, this means frequent shipments of instruments, components, consumables and equipment that must arrive undamaged and at a set time.
The Messe Freiburg exhibition grounds host trade fairs and consumer shows throughout the year. The industrial areas in the north of the city, such as Hochdorf, and at Haid in the south-west accommodate manufacturers and distributors who need regular haulage. For air cargo, the EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg lies about an hour's drive to the south, situated on French territory near the Swiss border.
The route for freight transport from the UK to Freiburg im Breisgau
For destinations in Freiburg, the most direct continental route runs through France. After the Dover to Calais ferry or Le Shuttle from Folkestone, the vehicle takes the A26 to Reims and the A4 via Metz to Strasbourg. It crosses the Rhine at Kehl and follows the German A5 south for roughly 70 kilometres to Freiburg. An alternative path leads through Alsace to Mulhouse, where the A36 crosses the Rhine near Neuenburg and joins the A5 about 30 kilometres south of the city.
The A5 runs along the western edge of Freiburg with the junctions Freiburg-Nord, Freiburg-Mitte and Freiburg-Süd. The B31 leads from the motorway through the city and east into the Black Forest. Heading south, the A5 reaches Basel in about an hour. Note that Switzerland is not in the EU, so onward shipments there require separate customs formalities.
Customs between Great Britain and Germany
Germany is an EU member, so goods from Great Britain need a UK export declaration and an EU import declaration. The sender and the receiving company both require an EORI number. GVMS links the declarations to the vehicle through a Goods Movement Reference at Dover or the Channel Tunnel. Please arrange the declarations with your customs agent in good time before collection, as we do not prepare customs documents.
Collection and delivery in Freiburg and the surrounding area
We deliver to all districts of Freiburg, including the old town, Wiehre to the south, Herdern and Zähringen in the north, St. Georgen and the Haid industrial area in the south-west, the newer quarters of Vauban and Rieselfeld and the commercial zones around Hochdorf. In the surrounding Breisgau, Gundelfingen, Denzlingen, Emmendingen, Umkirch, Kirchzarten, Bad Krozingen, Staufen and Breisach are regular destinations. Deliveries into the Black Forest valleys can be arranged too.
Streets in the old town are narrow and partly pedestrianised, while hospitals and research institutes often work with defined delivery points. Please mention these details, and any need for a tail lift, when you book your transport.
Vehicles for haulage in the Freiburg region
Two Euro pallets and up to 450 kg fit into a minivan, which is well suited to deliveries in the city centre.

When you need maximum capacity, a 13.6 LDM articulated lorry takes 33 pallets and up to 24 tonnes.

Capacity depends on pallet dimensions, weight and the vehicle. Share the shipment details so we can plan a suitable truck.

How quickly can goods for Freiburg be collected in the UK?
A vehicle usually arrives at your premises within 60 to 120 minutes of the booking. You can also book collection at a fixed time if your warehouse works with slots.

Usually, yes. After the Channel crossing, the vehicle takes the A26 and A4 via Reims and Metz to Strasbourg, crosses the Rhine at Kehl and follows the A5 south to Freiburg.
Can you deliver to hospitals and research institutes in Freiburg?
Yes. Please tell us the delivery point, the time window and any registration requirements when you book, so we can plan the vehicle and arrival time accordingly.

An export declaration in the UK and an import declaration in the EU are required, along with EORI numbers for both parties. Please arrange these with your customs agent before collection.
