Hellersdorf is a locality in Berlin's Marzahn-Hellersdorf borough in the east of the city, shaped by a large prefab housing estate and the green spaces around the Kienberg and the Wuhle valley. Between the Helle Mitte centre, the residential quarters and the university of applied sciences, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Hellersdorf address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Hellersdorf to BER
For the trip from Hellersdorf 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 from the U5 and on with your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Hellersdorf lies in the 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 40 to 55 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 Hellersdorf
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Hellersdorf address – whether a flat on the Hellersdorfer Promenade, an address at Helle Mitte or a house by the Kienberg park. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. In the sprawling residential areas 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 Hellersdorf to BER?
Around Helle Mitte and the U-Bahn stations, many travellers search for a taxi to the airport.
