Arrival with plane at Leipzig-Halle airport or train at
Leipzig main station
After arrival look for signs to the Airport train station.
There is a direct train connection
to the main station in the city center.
From the main train station ("Hauptbahnhof") you
can either take tram no. 12
or
no. 15 to our
office
building 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"). General information on the Leipzig public transportation system
can be found here; for schedules of
tram and bus lines see this
link.
Alternatively, you may 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
second floor, my office is 1L-21 on the first floor on the side of the
elevators,
phone: (0341) 97 32 725. The secretaries' office is 1L-24, phone (0341) 97 32
420 or 430.
You may also try to contact
Michael Bachmann (room 1R-20 on the side opposite to the elevators,
phone (0341) 97 32 443),
Elmar Bittner (room 1R-21, phone (0341) 97 32 429), or
Andreas Nussbaumer (room 2L-16 on the second floor, phone (0341) 97 32 450).
For the way back from the Institute towards the city center or the main train station, the
time schedules are given here for no. 12 and
no. 15.
