By Plane

  • Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER):
    This is across the city, so a taxi is expensive unless you can share the costs.  Travel time will vary between 40 minutes and 1.5 hours, depending on traffic.  Public transportation will take about one hour.
    • Fastest option is to take Flughafen Express (FEX) to the main train station  (Hauptbahnhof) and then the bus 245, direction Zoologischer Garten until Marchbrücke, line 245 has a bus stop directly next to the MAR building
    • As an alternative you can take a regional train (RE7, destination Dessau) or S-Bahn (Line 9, destination Westkreuz) to Zoologischer Garten. From there you can walk down Hardenbergstrasse (five minutes), take a bus (M45, 245, or X9), or take the U-Bahn (Line 2, destination Ruhleben) one station to Ernst Reuter Platz. The bus line  245 has a bus stop directly next to the MAR building (Or you can stop a taxi and take a fixed rate short ride).

By train

From the main train station (Hauptbahnhof, sometimes also called Lehrter Bahnhof) take a regional train (RE1, RE2, RE7, RB10, RB14) or S-Bahn  (S5, S7, S75, S9) to station “Tiergarten” if you want to walk (see map above) or to “Zoologischer Garten” if you want to take a bus/U-Bahn. From Zoologischer Garten you can take M45 or X9 bus or take the U-Bahn (Line 2) to stop “Ernst-Reuter-Platz”. Bus line 245 has a stop directly next to the MAR building. Alternatively, you can take a taxi cab from “Zoologischer Garten”. If you wave down a cab in the street (not at a taxi stand) you can ask the driver for a “Kurzstrecke” and you will be able to ride for 2km for about 4 Euro fixed rate. That’s enough to go to Marchstraße 23, our address.
