Lichtenberg is a locality in the borough of the same name in the east of Berlin, between Frankfurter Allee, Lichtenberg station and the residential areas around Roedeliusplatz. Between prefab and older housing quarters, commercial addresses and the nearby zoo, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Lichtenberg address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Lichtenberg to BER
For the trip from Lichtenberg 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 between regional and S-Bahn trains with your luggage at Lichtenberg station, you travel door to door to the terminal. Lichtenberg lies in the east with good access via Frankfurter Allee and the city ring to the A113 towards BER; 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 Lichtenberg
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Lichtenberg address – whether a flat by the Fennpfuhl, an address on Möllendorffstraße or a house in the Alt-Lichtenberg neighbourhood. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. After a late return flight in particular, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative to the night-time rail network. See how the BER airport pickup works.
Looking for an Airport Taxi from Lichtenberg to BER?
Around Frankfurter Allee and Lichtenberg station, many travellers search for a taxi to the airport.

What makes Lichtenberg distinctive
A well-known destination is the former headquarters of the Ministry for State Security on Ruschestraße/Normannenstraße, now home to the Stasi Museum and the Campus for Democracy. Frankfurter Allee with the Ring-Center forms the busy border with Friedrichshain, and the seat of the local administration is the Rathaus Lichtenberg on Möllendorffstraße. On Herzbergstraße lies the Dong Xuan Center, a large Vietnamese-influenced wholesale market. The historic core of Alt-Lichtenberg gathers around Roedeliusplatz, and in neighbouring Friedrichsfelde is the Tierpark Berlin with Friedrichsfelde Palace.
