Rummelsburg is a locality in Berlin's Lichtenberg borough in the east of the city, on the Rummelsburg bay and the lake of the same name, with the historic Kaskelkiez and new waterside residential quarters. Between old apartment streets, new builds by the bay and its proximity to Ostkreuz, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Rummelsburg address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Rummelsburg to BER
For the trip from Rummelsburg 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 at Ostkreuz or Nöldnerplatz, you travel door to door to the terminal. Rummelsburg lies in the east with good access via the A113 towards BER; depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 30 to 45 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 Rummelsburg
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Rummelsburg address – whether a new build by the Rummelsburg bay, an old flat in the Kaskelkiez or an address at Nöldnerplatz. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. After a late return flight in particular, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative to the night-time rail network. See how the BER airport pickup works.
Looking for an Airport Taxi from Rummelsburg to BER?
Around the Rummelsburg bay and Nöldnerplatz, 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 Rummelsburg distinctive
The defining feature is the Rummelsburg bay on the Spree with the Rummelsburg lake; new residential quarters have grown up on its shore, and the Paul-und-Paula-Ufer invites a stroll. Historically, the Kaskelkiez, also called Victoriastadt, is a well-preserved late-19th-century apartment quarter. In terms of transport, the Nöldnerplatz station and the large Ostkreuz hub on the border with Friedrichshain are nearby. Rummelsburg thus combines quiet waterside living with good access to the city centre. Further background is in the sources below.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly around the bay and Nöldnerplatz – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and local amenities sit in the Kaskelkiez and on the shore; if you combine a walk along the Rummelsburg bay with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The lake and the shore paths 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. 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 by the bay and near Ostkreuz are typical start and end points.
