How to get there

By train

CE and InterCity trains run hourly on the railway line Basel – Freiburg – Offenburg – Karlsruhe – Mannheim – Frankfurt. Take a train to Hauptbahnhof Freiburg. At Hauptbahnhof Freiburg, take the tram or S-Bahn. By tram: From the Hauptbahnhof (central station), you can take the tram No. 4 (magenta colored) heading for “Messe” alighting at the current terminal station “Technische Fakultät”. By S-Bahn (suburban train): From the Hauptbahnhof (central station), take the Breisgau-S-Bahn to Breisach. Alight at “FR-Neue Messe/Universität”. By Bus: From Paduaallee or Gundelfinger Straße take bus line 10 alighting at the station “Technische Fakultät”.

By car

From the A5: Take the autobahn exit “Freiburg Mitte”, towards Freiburg. Leave the B31a at the turn-off marked “Uni-Kliniken”. This will take you onto the Berliner Allee, heading towards the “Messe”. The campus is located on the left, just before the Messe (Trade Fair Hall). From the city center: Follow the B31a heading out of the city, leaving it at the turn-off marked “Uni-Kliniken”. This will take you onto the Berliner Allee, heading towards the “Messe”. The campus is located on the left, just before the Messe (Trade Fair Hall). Parking: The Campus of the Faculty of Engineering maintains a central parking lot. Members of the faculty and afiliated persons have to purchase a parking permit or use a special permit for official purposes. External guests are parking for free but have to use a guest parking permit. Please contact the office of the institution you want to visit beforehand to obtain this guest parking permit.

By airplane

Approx. 1 hour bus ride from the EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg or 2 to 3 hours by train or car from Frankfurt, Stuttgart or Zuerich airports.
