By public transport / from Frankfurt international airport:

At the "Frankfurt (Main) Flughafen Regionalbahnhof" take any S8 and S9 (direction: Hanau), transfer at "Hauptwache" upstairs to the U8 (direction: Frankfurt (Main) Riedberg) and get off at the stop "Uni Campus Riedberg". From there on you can follow either direction "Towards the entrance Max-von-Laue-Str. 7 (Chemistry)" or "Towards the entrance Max-von-Laue-Str. 9 (Biozentrum)" mentioned below.


By public transport / from Frankfurt main station:

Take the U-Bahn (see http://www.traffiq.de) line U4 or U5 in direction Enkheim/Seckbacher Landstrasse or Preungesheim, to go to "Willy-Brandt Platz" (just one stop). From there, take line U8 to go directly to "Uni-Campus Riedberg" (15 stops). From the U-Bahn stop, follow either of the following routes:

Towards the entrance Max-von-Laue-Str. 7 (Chemistry): If you get off at the front of the U-Bahn train, continue straight on and then turn right into Alfred-Wegener-Strasse. Walk down Alfred-Wegener-Strasse, cross Max-von-Laue-Strasse, continue down to the parking lot, and then turn right. You will find the entrance of the Chemistry building (Max-von-Laue-Str. 7). You are entering building N140, to the right at the groudfloor (behind the automatic door) you find the Prisner and Corzilius group as well as the PC Praktikum rooms behind the folowing two automatic doors. The other groups are located in N120 above the PC Praktikum rooms. Just follow the forth automatic door and go up the stairs, one floor (Heilemann, Morgner and Schäfer group) or two floors (Wachtveitl and Burghardt group).

Towards the entrance Max-von-Laue-Str. 9 (Biozentrum): If you get off at the rear of the U-Bahn train, you will see a pedestrian path that goes parallel to the long side of the Otto-Stern Zentrum (or Infrastrukturzentrum, see building 11 on map), a new yellow-colored building. Continue along this path and cross the street that you encounter, i.e., Max-Laue-Strasse. Continue straight on, passing the Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysics on your left, to get to the entrance of the "Biozentrum" (Max-von-Laue-Str. 9). In the building (N 100), you first continue straight on, then turn left trough the door. In front of you is Heilemann, Morgner and Schäfer group, one floor up Wachtveitl and Burghardt group and one floor down trough tree automatic doors into building N140 is the Prisner and Corzilius group located.

Change to the A 661 in direction Frankfurt/Offenbach and leave the highway at the exit "F-Heddernheim, Nordweststadt, Riedberg, Mertonviertel", follow the directions "Riedberg" and then "Universität, Max-Planck-Institut, FIZ" uphill, and then take the left-turn to "Konrad-Zuse-Strasse." Cross "Altenhöfer Allee" to Max-von-Laue-Str. and turn left at "Alfred-Wegener-Str." You will find the Chemistry/Biochemistry department in front of you.

By car / from the South or West:

Follow the highway A5 and change at the junction "Nordwestkreuz Frankfurt" to the A66 in direction Frankfurt "Miquelallee". At the end of the highway, follow the signs to "Nordweststadt" and Bad Homburg (Rosa-Luxemburg-Str.).

Take the exit "Mertonviertel", "Universität" (Marie-Curie-Strasse) turn left at the first road to get uphill. You will find the Chemistry/Biochemistry department in front of you.
