Schöneberg is a locality in Berlin's Tempelhof-Schöneberg borough, south-west of the centre between Nollendorfplatz, Winterfeldtplatz and the Südkreuz rail hub. Between old apartment neighbourhoods, hotels towards the City West and business addresses, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Schöneberg address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Schöneberg to BER
For the trip from Schöneberg 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 Südkreuz or Innsbrucker Platz, you travel door to door to the terminal. Schöneberg sits well for the city ring (A100) and on to 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. Book your airport transfer to BER and see the overview.
From BER back to Schöneberg
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Schöneberg address – whether a flat in the Akazien neighbourhood, a hotel by Nollendorfplatz or a business address at the EUREF-Campus. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. For first-time visitors to Berlin, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative to the rail network.

Looking for an Airport Taxi from Schöneberg to BER?
Around Winterfeldtplatz and Hauptstraße, 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 a Berlin airport taxi in advance.

What makes Schöneberg distinctive
On John-F-Kennedy-Platz stands the Rathaus Schöneberg, from whose balcony John F. Kennedy gave his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech in 1963; the Liberty Bell hangs in its tower. Winterfeldtplatz hosts one of Berlin's biggest weekly markets, and Nollendorfplatz is the heart of the historic rainbow neighbourhood around Motzstraße and Fuggerstraße. At Hauptstraße 155, David Bowie and Iggy Pop lived in the mid-1970s (a memorial plaque marks the building). The Bavarian Quarter is known for the "Places of Remembrance" memorial, and Kleistpark for the Königskolonnaden and the Kammergericht court. The Natur-Park Südgelände off Priesterstraße and the EUREF-Campus with its gasometer round out the picture, and Südkreuz is a major long-distance rail hub. Further background is in the sources below.

Cafés, bars and restaurants concentrate around Goltzstraße, Akazienstraße and Winterfeldtplatz; if you combine a market visit or appointment with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking.
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 at the EUREF-Campus and around Rathaus Schöneberg are typical start and end points.
Schöneberg, Tiergarten or Wilmersdorf – which pickup address?
Schöneberg borders Tiergarten to the north, Wilmersdorf to the west and Tempelhof to the south-east, with Steglitz adjoining to the south-west. If your address is north of the Landwehrkanal, it is Tiergarten; west of Bundesallee begins Wilmersdorf. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
