Oberschöneweide is a locality in Berlin's Treptow-Köpenick borough in the south-east of the city, on the northern bank of the Spree, shaped by the industrial "Elektropolis" and today's university campus. Between the listed industrial buildings, the campus and the residential streets, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Oberschöneweide address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Oberschöneweide to BER
For the trip from Oberschöneweide 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 train with your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Oberschöneweide lies in the south-east, well placed for the A113 towards BER; 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 Oberschöneweide
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Oberschöneweide address – whether a flat on Wilhelminenhofstraße, an address on the campus or by the Spree shore. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. For university guests in particular, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative to changing trains.
