Staaken is a locality in Berlin's Spandau borough on the western edge of the city, at the boundary with Falkensee in the surrounding Brandenburg countryside. Between the listed garden city, the housing estates and the arterial roads, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Staaken address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Staaken to BER
For the trip from Staaken 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 travelling across the city by bus and train with your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. Staaken lies on the far western edge; the route runs across the city 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 50 to 70 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 Staaken
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Staaken address – whether a house in the garden city, a flat on Brunsbütteler Damm or an address on Nennhauser Damm. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. Because of the long ride across the city 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.

What makes Staaken distinctive
A landmark is the Staaken garden city, a listed estate from the First World War period considered an early example of the garden-city idea. During the division of Germany, Staaken was a divided place, with its western part belonging to Berlin and its eastern part temporarily to the GDR. In terms of transport, Berlin-Staaken station and the arterial roads Heerstraße and Brunsbütteler Damm serve the locality. Staaken is predominantly shaped by housing estates and lies on the green edge of the city. Further background is in the sources below.

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. On the long ride from the west 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 Brunsbütteler Damm are typical start and end points.
