By train, car or tram — getting to us is quick and easy.
Freiburg Hauptbahnhof (main station) is just a few minutes away. You have three options:
From the main station it’s about a 7-minute walk. The easiest way is to open the walking route in Google Maps. Our building is above Café Kontrast.

Hauptbahnhof → Eschholzstraße → Rathaus im Stühlinger (Technisches Rathaus) → Robert-Koch-Straße → Friedrich-Ebert-Platz.
There’s an official taxi rank at the main station. Give the driver this address: Friedrich-Ebert-Platz 2, 79106 Freiburg.
