Adlershof is a locality in Berlin's Treptow-Köpenick borough in the south-east of the city, known above all for the WISTA science and technology park. Between research institutes, the Humboldt University campus, media companies and residential quarters, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Adlershof address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Adlershof to BER
For the trip from Adlershof to BER, enter your pickup address, date and time in the booking form and see the available vehicle classes with the total price before you book. Instead of changing trains with your luggage at Adlershof S-Bahn, you travel door to door to the terminal. Adlershof is especially well placed for BER, right on the A113 corridor heading south; depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 15 to 30 minutes. This is guidance only – the real journey time depends on traffic on the day. See the full overview on Berlin airport transfer.
From BER back to Adlershof
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Adlershof address – whether an institute or company in the technology park, a campus address or a flat in the old centre. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. For business travellers and conference guests in particular, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative to the rail network. See how the BER airport pickup works.

What makes Adlershof distinctive
The defining feature is the Adlershof technology park (WISTA), one of Germany's largest science and technology sites, often described as a "city for science, technology and media". It hosts numerous non-university research institutes and the natural-science campus of Humboldt University. The area goes back to the historic Johannisthal-Adlershof airfield, one of Germany's first motor-flight airfields; part of it is now the Johannisthal landscape park. Around the Ernst-Ruska-Ufer, media companies and studios have settled. The old centre gathers around Dörpfeldstraße. Further background is in the sources below.
