Friedenau is a locality in Berlin's Tempelhof-Schöneberg borough in the south-west of the city, quiet and residential around Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz, Rheinstraße and the listed Ceciliengärten. Between period streets, squares and green spaces, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Friedenau address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Friedenau to BER
For the trip from Friedenau 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 travelling on the U-Bahn and S-Bahn with several changes and your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Friedenau lies in the south-west near the city ring; the route runs via the southern ring and the A113 to BER in the south-east. 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 Friedenau
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Friedenau address – whether a period building on Rheinstraße, an address on Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz or one in the Ceciliengärten. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. Instead of carrying suitcases up stairs and through changes, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative. See how the BER airport pickup works.
