Wilhelmstadt is a locality in Berlin's Spandau borough in the west of the city, south of the old town between the Havel and Gatower Straße. Between old apartment streets, housing estates and the waterside areas on the Havel, many people need a plannable way to reach Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A pre-booked private transfer picks you up at your Wilhelmstadt address and takes you straight to BER – and back to your door after you land.
Airport transfer from Wilhelmstadt to BER
For the trip from Wilhelmstadt 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. Wilhelmstadt lies in the west; the route usually runs 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 65 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 Wilhelmstadt
The transfer works in both directions. After landing you are met at BER and driven straight to your Wilhelmstadt address – whether an old flat on Wilhelmstraße, a house in Pichelsdorf or an address by the Scharfe Lanke. Enter your flight number when booking so the pickup can follow your actual arrival. Because of the longer 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 Wilhelmstadt distinctive
Wilhelmstadt, named after Kaiser Wilhelm I, is a locality south of the Spandau old town that is predominantly shaped by housing.

On the Weinmeisterhöhe and along Gatower Straße, housing estates adjoin. The locality is shaped by bus connections and the nearby Havel and lies among greenery on the western city edge.

Hotels, dining and local destinations
Accommodation and business addresses are found mainly around Wilhelmstraße and the Havel shore – well suited to transfers in both directions, hotel to BER and BER to hotel. Cafés and excursion restaurants sit by the Scharfe Lanke and in Pichelsdorf; if you combine a day at the water with a trip to the airport, simply enter the exact pickup address when booking. The Havel and the waterside areas 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. On the longer 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 Wilhelmstraße are typical start and end points.
Wilhelmstadt, Spandau or Gatow – which pickup address?
Wilhelmstadt borders the Spandau old town to the north, Gatow to the south and Staaken to the west. North begins the old town; south of Gatower Straße lies Gatow. The exact address in the booking form always determines the transfer.
