Köpenick is a locality in Berlin's Treptow-Köpenick borough in the south-east of the city, at the confluence of the Dahme and the Spree and on the shore of the Müggelsee. Between the historic old town on its island, the waterside residential areas and the football stadium An der Alten Försterei, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Köpenick address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Köpenick to BER
For the trip from Köpenick 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 at Köpenick S-Bahn, you travel door to door to the terminal. Köpenick lies in the south-east comparatively close to BER, usually via the A113 or the main roads; depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 25 to 40 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 Köpenick
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Köpenick address – whether a flat in the old town, a house by the Müggelsee or an address in the Kietz. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. In the waterside areas with less dense public transport in particular, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative. See how the BER airport pickup works.
Looking for an Airport Taxi from Köpenick to BER?
Around the old town and Köpenick station, 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 Köpenick distinctive
At its heart is the Köpenick old town on an island between the Dahme and the Spree, with the Rathaus Köpenick, made famous by the story of the "Captain of Köpenick" (1906). On its own island stands the baroque Köpenick Palace, today part of the Museum of Decorative Arts. The Großer Müggelsee is Berlin's largest lake, and the nearby Müggelberge hills offer the Müggelturm tower. The historic fishing quarter Kietz and the An der Alten Försterei stadium, home of 1. FC Union Berlin, belong to the locality, as does the Wuhlheide park. Further background is in the sources below.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly around the old town and the Müggelsee – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and restaurants sit in the old town and along the riverside paths; if you combine a trip to the Müggelsee or a match at the stadium with a ride to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The lakes and forests 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. In the waterside areas 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 around the old town and the station are typical start and end points.
Köpenick, Friedrichshagen or Grünau – which pickup address?
Köpenick borders Friedrichshagen to the east, Müggelheim to the south-east and Grünau to the south. North of the Spree lies Friedrichshagen; south of the Dahme the area continues towards Grünau. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
