Airport Schönefeld
Please notice, that you have to buy a ticket for the zones A, B and C. Price for a single ticket is EUR 2,80. Take Bus X7 from Schönefeld Airport to the subwaystation U Rudow. There change to the underground U7 (direction S+U Rathaus Spandau) to the stop Kleistpark. There change to Bus M48 (direction Alexanderplatz) to the bus stop Potsdamer Brücke. Step into Reichpietschufer and then right into Stauffenbergstraße. The hotel is on the right side.

Make sure that you obtain a receipt/invoice which must be sent to the WZB for reimbursement (together with the ticket or boarding pass for e-tickets) after your travel has been completed.

The cost for public transportation in Berlin will be reimbursed. However, neither taxi journeys nor parking fees can be reimbursed.
