Friedrichsfelde is a locality in Berlin's Lichtenberg borough in the east of the city, known above all for the Tierpark zoo with Friedrichsfelde Palace. Between housing estates, the palace park and the addresses along Frankfurter Allee, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Friedrichsfelde address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Friedrichsfelde to BER
For the trip from Friedrichsfelde 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 on the U5, you travel door to door to the terminal. Friedrichsfelde lies in the east with good access via the main roads and the A113 towards BER; depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 30 to 45 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 Friedrichsfelde
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Friedrichsfelde address – whether a flat on Rosenfelder Ring, a house near the Tierpark or an address on Alfredstraße. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. After a long flight in particular, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative to changing trains several times. See how the BER airport pickup works.
Looking for an Airport Taxi from Friedrichsfelde to BER?
Around the Tierpark and the U5, many travellers search for a taxi to the airport. As an alternative to hailing a metered taxi on the street, you can pre-book a private transfer to or from BER: the price for your route and vehicle class is shown before you confirm, and the driver waits at the agreed address or at the airport. The transport is carried out by external, licensed transfer providers. Read more about booking an airport taxi to BER in advance.

What makes Friedrichsfelde distinctive
The defining feature is the Tierpark Berlin, one of the largest landscape zoos in Europe, with the baroque Friedrichsfelde Palace in its park. The U5 with the Tierpark and Friedrichsfelde stations serves the locality. A piece of building history is the Splanemann estate, one of Germany's first prefab housing estates from the late 1920s. Otherwise Friedrichsfelde is shaped by mixed housing estates between Rosenfelder Ring and Frankfurter Allee. Further background is in the sources below.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly around the Tierpark and the U5 – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and local amenities sit by the housing estates and the Tierpark; if you combine a visit to the zoo with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The Tierpark and the palace park 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. 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 travellers, the addresses on Frankfurter Allee and around the Tierpark are typical start and end points.
Friedrichsfelde, Lichtenberg or Karlshorst – which pickup address?
Friedrichsfelde borders Lichtenberg to the north, Karlshorst to the south and Rummelsburg to the west. North of Frankfurter Allee begins Lichtenberg; south of the railway lies Karlshorst. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
