Berlin - Brandenburg - Bollmannsruh

1. Berlin - Brandenburg railway connection

The time table we add below is for the connection between Berlin Zoologischer Garten (Berlin Zoo) and Brandenburg Hbf (main station). Please prefer the RegionalExpress (RE) trains! The RE trains from Berlin Zoo also stop at Berlin Wannsee and Potsdam Hbf. The travel time from Zoo to Wannsee is about 10 minutes, from Zoo to Potsdam about 15 minutes.
In order to reach the station Berlin Zoo have a look at the Berlin S-Bahn network.

Here is your time table of trains from Berlin Zoologischer Garten to Brandenburg Hbf (main station); pdf file.
The columns give the following information:
Ab: leaving (Berlin Zoo)
Zug: train number
An: arrival (Brandenburg)
Dauer: travel time (minutes)
Verkehrstage: days of operation (all trains go on 17-19 Sep.)
This list also includes the express trains (IC, ICE). These require special (and more expensive) tickets. Hence it is recommended to use the RE trains (line 1) which basically go twice an hour between 04:50 and 20:50.

Therefore we will arrange a car shuttle from the Brandenburg station to Bollmannsruh. In order to coordinate this, we would be grateful if you can announce your expected arrival time. This is especially important for late arrivals!
We plan our car shuttle on September 18 from 15 h until 23 h on the hour.
Look for a car showing the IMC logo in front of the station building. Please be patient when arriving with a train in the "middle of the hour".
Participants arriving on Saturday only should contact the organizers in advance.
In case of problems such as unexpected delays, you can reach the LOC from Thursday onwards: 0170 - 3644525
