Arrival with plane at Leipzig-Halle airport or train at
Leipzig main station
When you come through the gate of "arriving flights", just go straight (25 m)
to the next exit and you will find the stop for
the airport bus
to Leipzig
city center (be careful; there is also a bus to the city of Halle - more or less
in the opposite direction!!!). Fare: DM 13.00. The tickets are sold by the bus
driver. Stay on the bus until the final stop. There are usually two stops, one
at the big exhibition hall ("Messe Leipzig"), the other (yours!) in the city
center, just next to the main train station ("Hauptbahnhof"), which you will
reach after about 30 min.
From the main train station ("Hauptbahnhof") you
can either take tram no. 12 or
no. 15 to our new office
building (since June 2001) at
"Vor dem Hospitaltore 1" resp. "Prager Str." close to "Ostplatz" (on the
r.h.s. of this
map),
which is the fourth stop after a
7 minutes ride. With the
train station in your back, the proper direction of the tram is to your left.
Since you travel only four stops, you can take a "short-ride ticket"
("Kurzstrecke").
Alternatively, you first walk along Goethestrasse or Ritterstrasse in
direction of
Augustusplatz (everybody in Leipzig knows that) to catch the room keys
for the University guesthouses
"Ritterstr."
and "Villa
Tillmanns" .
You get them at the
reception (open 24 hours a day) of the
main University building, no. 19 on the
map. From
there you
can reach the Institute by an even shorter
tram ride (5 min), again with tram
no. 12 or no. 15
(the tram stop is in the middle of Augustusplatz - just in between the Opera
building and the concert hall "Gewandhaus"; see
the map) or
by a 15-20 minutes walk along Prager Strasse
The Institute is located at the first and
