Alt-Hohenschönhausen is a locality in Berlin's Lichtenberg borough in the north-east of the city, with its historic village core, the Obersee and Orankesee lakes and the large sports centre. Between housing estates, green spaces and the memorial, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Alt-Hohenschönhausen address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Alt-Hohenschönhausen to BER
For the trip from Alt-Hohenschönhausen 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 between tram and S-Bahn with your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Alt-Hohenschönhausen lies in the north-east; the route usually runs along the eastern edge of the city and the A113 towards BER. Depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 35 to 50 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 Alt-Hohenschönhausen
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Alt-Hohenschönhausen address – whether a house by the Obersee, a flat near the sports centre or an address in the old village core. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. As the locality has no direct U-Bahn connection, a fixed pickup with a name sign is an especially plannable alternative. See how the BER airport pickup works.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly around the sports centre and the main streets – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and local amenities sit by the Obersee and in the village core; if you combine a day at the lake or a sports appointment with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The Obersee and Orankesee also make the locality a destination in its own right.
Families, groups and business travellers
Travelling as a group, everyone stays together in one vehicle, from a business car to a minibus for larger parties. Without a direct U-Bahn connection in particular, one vehicle for everyone pays off. The booking system shows which vehicle class is available for your passenger count and luggage; for larger groups see the Berlin airport minibus for groups. For business and sports guests, the addresses around the sports centre are typical start and end points.
