Hohenschönhausen is an area in Berlin's Lichtenberg borough in the north-east of the city, divided into Alt- and Neu-Hohenschönhausen – between the old village centre, the Obersee and Orankesee lakes and the large housing estates. Many people here need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Hohenschönhausen address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Hohenschönhausen to BER
For the trip from 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 travelling by tram with several changes and your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Hohenschönhausen 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 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 Hohenschönhausen
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Hohenschönhausen address – whether a flat in Neu-Hohenschönhausen, a house in Alt-Hohenschönhausen or an address by the Obersee. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. Because of the ride across the north-east in particular, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative to changing several times. See how the BER airport pickup works.
Looking for an Airport Taxi from Hohenschönhausen to BER?
Around the housing estates and the tram stops, 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 Hohenschönhausen distinctive
Hohenschönhausen is divided into Alt- and Neu-Hohenschönhausen. The old village centre has the village church and, by the Obersee and Orankesee, quiet villa areas. Neu-Hohenschönhausen is shaped by large 1980s housing estates. An important place of remembrance is the Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial in the former Stasi prison. At the Sportforum Hohenschönhausen many competitive athletes train. The lakes give the area green places to relax. Further background is in the sources below.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly on the main roads and in Neu-Hohenschönhausen – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and local amenities sit by the centres; if you combine a walk at the Obersee with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The lakes and the memorial also make the area 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. On the ride from the north-east 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 travellers, the addresses on Landsberger Allee are typical start and end points.
Hohenschönhausen, Lichtenberg or Weißensee – which pickup address?
Hohenschönhausen borders Lichtenberg to the south, Marzahn to the east and Weißensee to the west. South begins Lichtenberg; east lies Marzahn. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
