Where in the world is Erlangen?

Where in Germany is Erlangen?

 

Travel by air:

Erlangen may be reached most easily via the nearby Nuremberg airport (ca. 15 km).

To go to Erlangen, take the subway line U2 which leads directly to the Nuremberg main railroad station ("Hauptbahnhof") within 12 minutes. Subway trains depart every 10 minutes during daytime hours. Trains to Erlangen depart from the main railroad station every ca. 20 - 30 minutes.

Taxis to Erlangen cost ca. € 25, but may be shared.

Munich airport is ca. 160 km south of Erlangen. Train connections to Erlangen are via the "S-Bahn" (rapid tansit) to Munich central station, and then to Erlangen via Nuremberg. Connections may be less convenient than those via Frankfurt airport (see below), although Munich is closer.

Frankfurt airport is ca. 240 km north-west of Erlangen. There are trains directly from the airport to Nuremberg where local trains to Erlangen depart every 20-30 min. during daytime hours. Some of the Frankfurt - Erlangen trains save time by connecting at Fürth rather than at Nuremberg central station. The conductor will advise you.

Cars may be rented at Nuremberg, Munich, and Frankfurt airports, or in Erlangen.


Travel by train:

Besides the train service from Munich airport (via Munich central station) and from Frankfurt airport to Erlangen ca. every 1.5-2.0 hrs. during the day, some German "Intercity" lines stop at Erlangen and most in Nuremberg where connections to Erlangen depart every 20 - 30 min.

The very convenient organic chemistry erlangenonline service is recommended for scheduling individual train routes in Germany.

  • Coming from Frankfurt (north west): Follow the A3 in the "Nürnberg" direction. At Autobahnkreuz "Fürth/Erlangen", switch to the A73 in the "Erlangen/Bamberg" direction (the "Erlangen-West" exit is shorter but more confusing inside Erlangen).

     

  • Coming from Hamburg/Hannover/Kassel (north): Follow the A7 until Autobahnkreuz "Biebelried" (east of Würzburg). Switch to the A3 in the "Nürnberg" direction. At Autobahnkreuz "Fürth/Erlangen", switch to the A73 towards "Erlangen/Bamberg".

  • Coming from Basel etc. (south west and west): Follow the A5 until Autobahnkreuz "Walldorf". Switch to the A6 in the "Heilbronn/Nürnberg" direction. At the Autobahnkreuz "Nürnberg-Süd", do not switch to the A73 in "Erlangen" direction. Alhough this route is shorter it may become confusing inside the Nürnberg area. Instead, follow the A6 straight on in "Amberg" direction. At Autobahnkreuz "Nürnberg-Ost", switch to the A9 in "Berlin/Würzburg" direction. Strictly follow the "Würzburg" signs. At the Autobahnkreuz "Nürnberg" you will automatically take the A3 towards "Würzburg". At Autobahnkreuz "Fürth/Erlangen", switch to the A73 in "Erlangen/Bamberg" direction.

On the Autobahn A73, take the "Erlangen-Zentrum" exit. Coming from north (unlikely if you followed the routes suggested above) you will automatically be on the "Werner-von-Siemens-Strasse". Coming from south, turn right at the end of the exit in "Erlangen-Ost" direction and then go straight onto the "Werner-von-Siemens-Strasse". Continue for ca. 1.5 km until the traffic lights after the "OMV" gas station; turn left onto Henkestrasse. The Institute of Organic Chemistry is the building on the left after ca. 150 m.

Please look up the city map for details.

There is short-term parking directly across from the Institute. However, it is expensive to park there for longer periods. There is a variety of further parking facilities in Erlangen. Click here to look up a map. You may also wish to check out parking facilities at your hotel.
