Lankwitz is a locality in Berlin's Steglitz-Zehlendorf borough in the south of the city, a mostly quiet residential area around the village church, the community park and Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz. Between detached houses, university buildings and the residential neighbourhoods by the Teltowkanal, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Lankwitz address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Lankwitz to BER
For the trip from Lankwitz 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 S-Bahn, you travel door to door to the terminal. Lankwitz lies in the south; the route usually runs via the city ring and the A113 heading south. 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 Lankwitz
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Lankwitz address – whether a house by the community park, a flat on Leonorenstraße or an address at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. In the quiet residential streets 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.

Cafés and local amenities sit in the village centre and by the community park; if you combine an appointment or park visit with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The community park also makes the locality a quiet residential area.
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 quiet residential 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 and university visits, the addresses around Malteserstraße are typical start and end points.
