Lichtenrade is a locality in Berlin's Tempelhof-Schöneberg borough at the southern city boundary, with its old village core and pond, quiet housing estates and proximity to the surrounding Brandenburg countryside. Between Alt-Lichtenrade, Bahnhofstraße and the detached-house areas, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Lichtenrade address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Lichtenrade to BER
For the trip from Lichtenrade 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 S2, you travel door to door to the terminal. Lichtenrade lies in the south comparatively close to BER, usually via the B96 and the A113; 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 Lichtenrade
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Lichtenrade address – whether a house in Alt-Lichtenrade, a flat on Bahnhofstraße or an address by the local park. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. In the quiet outlying 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.

Cafés and local amenities sit in Alt-Lichtenrade and on Bahnhofstraße; if you combine a stroll by the village pond with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The village core also makes the locality a tranquil destination.
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 outlying 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 on Bahnhofstraße are typical start and end points.
