Französisch Buchholz is a locality in Berlin's Pankow borough in the north-east of the city, village-like around the old centre, Hugenottenplatz and the main axis of Hauptstraße. Its name recalls the settlement of French Huguenots. Between the village church, residential streets and fields, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Französisch Buchholz address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Französisch Buchholz to BER
For the trip from Französisch Buchholz 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.

Französisch Buchholz lies in the north-east; the route runs via the eastern city ring and the A113 to BER in the south-east. Depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 45 to 60 minutes. This is guidance only – the real journey time depends on traffic on the day.

From BER back to Französisch Buchholz
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Französisch Buchholz address – whether a house by the old centre, an address on Hauptstraße or one in the residential settlements. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. Because of the edge-of-city location in particular, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative to changing several times. See how the BER airport pickup works.
