Niederschönhausen is a locality in Berlin's Pankow borough in the north of the city, known for Schönhausen Palace with its park and the quiet villa and residential area around the Majakowskiring. Between the palace park, old apartment streets and housing estates, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Niederschönhausen address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Niederschönhausen to BER
For the trip from Niederschönhausen 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 tram and S-Bahn with your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Niederschönhausen lies in the north; the route usually runs via the city ring and the A113 to BER in the south-east. Depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 45 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 Niederschönhausen
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Niederschönhausen address – whether a villa on the Majakowskiring, a flat on Dietzgenstraße or a house by the palace park. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. As Niederschönhausen has no direct U-Bahn connection, a fixed pickup with a name sign is an especially plannable alternative. See how the BER airport pickup works.
Looking for an Airport Taxi from Niederschönhausen to BER?
Around the palace park and Ossietzkyplatz, 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 Niederschönhausen distinctive
At its heart is Schönhausen Palace with its extensive palace park on the Panke; in the GDR it served as an official residence and later as a government guest house. On the Majakowskiring lay the so-called "little town", a screened-off residential quarter of the GDR leadership; quiet villa streets still shape the locality today. The central axes are Ossietzkystraße and Dietzgenstraße towards Nordend. Niederschönhausen has no direct U-Bahn connection and is strongly shaped by tram and bus.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly around Ossietzkystraße and Dietzgenstraße – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and local amenities sit at Ossietzkyplatz and by the palace park; if you combine a park visit with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The palace park 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. Without a direct U-Bahn connection 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 Ossietzkystraße are typical start and end points.
Niederschönhausen, Pankow or Rosenthal – which pickup address?
Niederschönhausen borders Pankow to the south-east, Rosenthal to the north-west and Wilhelmsruh to the west. South-east towards the station begins Pankow; north lies Rosenthal. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
