Access route to the ZEW from the A6/A5

After exiting the motorway, head towards the centre of Mannheim. In Mannheim continue straight ahead until you reach the water-tower (Wasserturm), where you turn right and drive around the tower. Turn left at the junction and then continue straight ahead towards Ludwigshafen. Drive towards the main station (Hauptbahnhof). Get into one of the right-hand lanes. Turn right at the junction in front of the main station and continue on the left-hand lane. Turn left into the second road between L 9 and L 11, and carry straight on. Turn right at the corner and you will see a cream-coloured building with blue windows right in front of you - the ZEW.

After exiting the motorway, head towards the centre of Mannheim. After having crossed the River Neckar, keep to the left and drive around a street car stop.

Access route to the ZEW from the motorway A61/A65 on the left of the Rhine

After exiting the motorway A61, carry straight on towards Ludwigshafen / Mannheim. After having covered some kilometres ignore the signposts "Mannheim / BASF / Gartenstadt" which point towards the right and lead to a remote bridge across the River Rhine. Stay on one of the two left-hand lanes which will lead you automatically to the bridge "Konrad-Adenauer-Rheinbrücke". Leave the bridge on the right lane and then get into the left lane. On the left you will see the Mannheim castle. After one traffic light, drive across the street car tracks. Turn right at the next traffic light. Turn right into the next road (between L 9 and L 11) and carry straight on. Turn right at the corner and you will see a cream-coloured building with blue windows right in front of you - the ZEW.

ZEW via Frankfurt Airport

The closest major airport is in Frankfurt/Main. You will find further flight information in the Lufthansa flight schedules. You can reach Mannheim from Frankfurt Airport easily by train (Deutsche Bahn: Long distance train station; payment in the train in DM or credit card possible; hourly trains leave 5 minutes before the hour) in approx. 35 minutes or with the Lufthansa-Airport-Shuttle (leaves the airport near the Meeting Point in Terminal I; payment in DM at the bus) in approx. 60 minutes.

Walk to the ZEW from main station Mannheim (approx. 5 minutes)

When leaving the main station, walk across the streetcar tracks and then turn left. Now carry straight on for approx. 300 meters; you will see a modern, cream-coloured building with blue window-frames right in front of you - the ZEW.

Walk to the ZEW when arriving with the Airport Shuttle (approx. 7 minutes)

Go straight ahead towards the main station, then turn right at the junction. Now walk along the street until you reach the pedestrian's traffic light between L 9 and L 11. Cross the road and carry straight on. Turn right at the corner, and you will see a cream-coloured building with blue window-frames right in front of you - the ZEW.
