Airport Leipzig-Halle (LEJ):
Trains from Leipzig-Halle Airport to Leipzig Hauptbahnhof (main railway station) leave every hour. It will take you approx. 15 minutes to get to the main railway station. A taxi ride from the airport to the institute costs about 35 Euro.

When you arrive at the Leipzig railway station leave the building, and you will find yourself at Willy-Brandt-Platz. Buy a ticket "Einzelfahrkarte Leipzig" at one of the ticket counters or automats and stamp it right after boarding the tram. Take tram number 16 to the destination "Lößnig" (or "Lössnig") and get off at the 5th stop called "Deutsche Nationalbibliothek". Turn left, cross the street Semmelweissstraße, and you will find yourself at Deutscher Platz. The Institute, a modern building with a glass facade, is at your right.
