The Waldstadt is a district in the south of Potsdam, the city's largest residential area, set in the middle of the forest between the Ravensberge and the Nuthe. Between residential rows, green spaces and the forest edge, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Waldstadt address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Waldstadt to BER
For the trip from the Waldstadt 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 by tram and regional train with several changes and your luggage, you travel door to door to the terminal. The district lies in the south of Potsdam with a favourable connection; the route runs via the Nuthe expressway and the A115/A113 to BER. Depending on traffic, time of day and route the drive typically takes around 40 to 55 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 the Waldstadt
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Waldstadt address – whether a flat in Waldstadt I, in Waldstadt II or by the forest edge. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. Instead of carrying suitcases up stairs and through changes, a fixed pickup with a name sign is a plannable alternative. See how the BER airport pickup works.
Looking for an Airport Taxi from Waldstadt to BER?
Around the residential rows and the tram stops, 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.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly on the main roads and centres of the Waldstadt – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and local amenities sit by the residential rows; if you combine a walk in the forest with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The forest and green spaces also make the district a destination for families.
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. Precisely because the way to BER is short, the direct ride pays off for everyone. 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 Saarmunder Straße are typical start and end points.
Waldstadt, Schlaatz or Am Stern – which pickup address?
The Waldstadt borders the Schlaatz to the north, Am Stern und Drewitz to the north-east and the Templiner Vorstadt to the north-west. North begins the Schlaatz; north-east lies Am Stern. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
