Tempelhof is a locality in Berlin's Tempelhof-Schöneberg borough, south of the inner city around the wide Tempelhofer Feld. Between Tempelhofer Damm, the residential areas around Alt-Tempelhof and the harbour on the Teltowkanal, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Tempelhof address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Tempelhof to BER
For the trip from Tempelhof 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 along Tempelhofer Damm and the U6, you travel door to door to the terminal. Tempelhof 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 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 Tempelhof
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Tempelhof address – whether a flat on Manteuffelstraße, an address at Alt-Tempelhof or a place by the Tempelhof harbour. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. After a long flight in particular, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative to the rail network.

Looking for an Airport Taxi from Tempelhof to BER?
Around Platz der Luftbrücke and Tempelhofer Damm, 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 Tempelhof distinctive
The defining feature is Tempelhofer Feld, the former airfield of Tempelhof Airport, now one of Berlin's largest inner-city open spaces used as a park. The listed Tempelhof airport building is among the largest buildings in the world; at Platz der Luftbrücke the Airlift Memorial recalls the Berlin Airlift of 1948/49. The main axis is Tempelhofer Damm with the U6, and at its core lies Alt-Tempelhof with its old village church. At the Tempelhof harbour on the Teltowkanal stands the striking Ullstein building, a brick landmark of the former Ullstein printing house. Further background is in the sources below.

Cafés and restaurants sit around Alt-Tempelhof and the shopping centre at the harbour; if you combine a walk on Tempelhofer Feld 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 Ullstein building and along Tempelhofer Damm are typical start and end points.
