Marzahn is a locality in Berlin's Marzahn-Hellersdorf borough in the north-east of the city, known for its large prefab housing estate as well as its historic village green and the Gardens of the World. Between residential quarters, the Eastgate mall and the green spaces around the Kienberg, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Marzahn address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Marzahn to BER
For the trip from Marzahn 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 across the city edge, you travel door to door to the terminal. Marzahn lies in the north-east; the route usually runs along the eastern edge of the city and the A113 towards BER. Depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 40 to 55 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 Marzahn
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Marzahn address – whether a flat on the Marzahner Promenade, a house in the old village or an address near the Eastgate. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. In the sprawling residential areas 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 Marzahn to BER?
Around the Marzahner Promenade and the Eastgate, 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 Marzahn distinctive
A destination with regional draw is the Gardens of the World, a park of internationally themed gardens greatly expanded for the 2017 International Garden Exhibition; a cable car runs over the site to the Kienberg. In contrast stands the historic village of Marzahn, a green-centred village with a church and the Bock windmill. The Marzahner Promenade with the Eastgate shopping centre forms the core, surrounded by one of Germany's largest prefab housing estates. The Marzahn and Springpfuhl S-Bahn stations and a dense tram network serve the locality. Further background is in the sources below.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly around the Marzahner Promenade and Landsberger Allee – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and restaurants sit at the Eastgate and in the old village; if you combine a visit to the Gardens of the World with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The Gardens of the World and the Kienberg 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 sprawling 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 addresses around the promenade and Eastgate are typical start and end points.
Marzahn, Biesdorf or Hellersdorf – which pickup address?
Marzahn borders Biesdorf to the south, Hellersdorf to the south-east and Hohenschönhausen to the north-west. South of the railway begins Biesdorf; east of it lies Hellersdorf. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
