Lichterfelde is a locality in Berlin's Steglitz-Zehlendorf borough in the south-west of the city, known for its villa colony, the Botanical Garden on its northern edge and the quiet residential neighbourhoods around Lichterfelde West, Ost and Süd. Between detached houses, commercial sites on the Teltowkanal and the S-Bahn stations, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Lichterfelde address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Lichterfelde to BER
For the trip from Lichterfelde 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 on the S-Bahn with several changes and your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Lichterfelde lies in the south-west; 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 Lichterfelde
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Lichterfelde address – whether a villa in Lichterfelde West, a flat near Lichterfelde Ost or an address by the Teltowkanal. 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.
Looking for an Airport Taxi from Lichterfelde to BER?
Around Lichterfelde West and the Botanical Garden, many travellers search for a taxi to the airport.

What makes Lichterfelde distinctive
A defining feature is the historic villa colony of Lichterfelde, one of the early middle-class villa estates in the south-west of Berlin. On its northern edge lies the Botanical Garden with the Botanical Museum, one of the large botanical gardens. A piece of technical history is the world's first electric tram line, which Werner von Siemens put into operation in Groß-Lichterfelde in 1881. The Teltowkanal with commercial sites bounds the locality to the south, and the Lichterfelde West, Ost and Süd S-Bahn stations serve the residential neighbourhoods.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly around Lichterfelde West and the Teltowkanal – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and local amenities sit in the villa colony and around the stations; if you combine a visit to the Botanical Garden with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The Botanical Garden also makes 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 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 travellers, the commercial addresses by the Teltowkanal are typical start and end points.

Lichterfelde borders Steglitz to the north, Lankwitz to the east and Zehlendorf to the west. North of the Stadtpark begins Steglitz; east of the railway lies Lankwitz. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
