ion Thielplatz Line 1Subway stat

18 km10 km

8 km1 km

0,1 km

From Tegel Airport with the 109 bus (in the direction of Zoologischer Garten) to Jacob-Kaiser-Platz. There, transfer to the subway line 7 (U7 in the direction of Rudow) to Fehrbelliner Platz. There, transfer to the subway line 3 (U3 in the direction of Krumme Lanke) to Thielplatz, leave the station in driving-direction using the left exit, the Harnack-House is located app. 50 meters to your right.

From Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten with subway line 9 direction Rathaus Steglitz to Spichernstraße. Get off at Spichernstraße and switch trains to U3 direction Krumme Lanke. Get off at Thielplatz, leave the station in driving-direction using the left exit, the Harnack-House is located app. 50 meters to your right.

By car with the Autobahn 115 to the Hüttenweg offramp, turn right and go in the direction of Dahlem to the corner of Clayallee, right again, then turn left into Saargemünder Strasse and shortly thereafter is the Ihnestrasse. The Harnack-House is on the corner of Ihnestrasse and Saargmünder Strasse.

Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft How to reach the Fritz-Haber-Institut

AC CP MP PC TH MPG By Car On the freeway (Bundesautobahn) Potsdam-Berlin take exit Hüttenweg. Follow Hüttenweg to the end (about 3km), two crossings with traffic lights. (Königsallee/Onkel-Tom-Str. and Clayallee). At the end of Hüttenweg turn right into Gelfert Straße, and take the second street to the right, Kehler Weg. At the next crossing, turn left (over the U-Bahn bridge) into Brümmer Straße. Take the next street to the right Faradayweg. By Air from Flughafen Tegel: Take bus 109 to Jakob-Kaiser-Platz (about 3km away). From there take subway U7, direction Rudow. Change at Fehrbelliner Platz to U3 direction Krumme Lanke. Go off at Thielplatz. Travel takes about 50 min. Costs are about Euro 2,00. A Taxi is somewhat faster, about 25 minutes outside rush hours. Costs are about 20 Euro. from Flughafen Tempelhof: Take subway U6 direction Alt-Tegel, change at Mehringdamm, take U7 direction Rathaus Spandau. Change at Fehrbelliner Platz to U3 direction Krumme Lanke. Go off at Thielplatz. Travel takes about 30 min. Costs are about Euro 2,00. Taxi takes about 20 minutes outside rush hours. Costs are about 15 Euro. from Flughafen Schönefeld: Take S-Bahn S45 (Gesundbrunnen). Change to subway at Heidelberger Platz. Take U3 direction Krumme Lanke. Go off at Thielplatz. Travel takes about 45 to 60 min. If you arrive late at night, or if for any reason the S45 does not run, do as follows: Take S9 direction Grunewald to Treptower Park. Take either S46 or S41 direction Gesundbrunnen (that is, get on the S-Bahn ring line in the clockwise direction). Note that some of the lines in the ring may have different final stations, depending on the time of day. Get off at Heidelberger Platz, switch to U3 direction Krumme Lanke, and finally get off at Thielplatz as above. Independent of the S-Bahn trip costs are about Euro 2,00. Taxi from Schönefeld takes about 45 minutes outside rush hours. Costs are about 30 Euro.

By Train from Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten: Take U-Bahn U9 direction Rathaus Steglitz. Change at Spichernstrasse. Take U3 direction Krumme Lanke. Go off at Thielplatz. Travel takes about 30 min. Costs are about Euro 2,00. Taxi takes about 20 minutes outside rush hours. Costs are about 15 Euro. from Bahnhof Wannsee: Take S-Bahn S1 to Lichterfelde West. Take bus X11 direction Dahlem Dorf and go off at Hittorfstr, or bus M11 and go off at Thielplatz. Travel takes about 30 min. Costs are about Euro 2,00. Taxi takes about 15 minutes outside rush hours. Costs are about 15 Euro. from Ostbahnhof: Take S3, S5, S7, or S9 direction east to Warschauer Strasse. Change to U1 (direction Uhlandstrasse) at Warschauer Strasse. Change at Wittenbergplatz. Take U3 direction Krumme Lanke. Go off at Thielplatz. Travel takes about 45-60 min. Costs are about Euro 2,00. Taxi takes too long. Note that during August and September 2005 the U-Bahn ends at Breitenbachplatz station. There you must continue by bus to station Thielplatz. Hints for Public Transport You can find more information about timetables, alternative routes, etc. at BVG or VBB. For all trips described here, a ticket for the fare zones AB is sufficient. Do not forget to get it stamped in one of the red boxes before you start your trip.

Useful Information

September 6, 2005: Dear All, This is an email to those of you, who plan to bring a poster. Could you please tell us within the next two days: The title, authors and their affiliations in order to create an information sheet to be distributed at the workshop. September 5, 2005: Let me send you some (final) information that may be helpful for your trip: As you hopefully know, the workshop website is http://www.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/th/Meetings/UCSBworkshop/home.html This contains quite some information, such as the program and a local map showing the Harnack House neighborhood. Let me give this here again: http://www.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/map.epl When you arrive at Tegel airport I suggest that you take a taxi, telling the driver to go to the Harnack House which is in Berlin-Dahlem, at the intersection of Ihnestrasse and Saargemuender Strasse, close to subway station (U-Bahnhof) Thielplatz. A taxi from Tegel airport to the Harnack House should cost about 20 Euros. If you come by train, the best station to get off is Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten. From there you can take a taxi, but taking the subway is also convenient. You have to change once, namely at Spichernstrasse (start with U9 direction Rathaus Steglitz, at Spichernstrasse switch to U3 direction Krumme Lanke, get off at station Thielplatz). Please note: The Harnack House is a conference center and not a regular hotel. Thus, if you will arrive late, please inform Frieda Halder THsecretary@fhi-berlin.mpg.de ASAP !! (Late is: Saturday and Sunday after 10 p.m. or Monday and Tuesday after 9 p.m.) **New

Registration will begin at 6 p.m. on Sunday evening in the restaurant of the Harnack House where a buffet style meal will also be served. All guest rooms at the Harnack House are equipped with a digital phone which also contains a network card. You need a patch cable to connect your laptop, and you can get it from the Harnack House reception desk. At several locations in the Harnack House there is also WLAN and there is also a room with two PCs and a printer. Typically my mobile phone is switched off, but during the workshop it will be on. Thus, in case you need to reach me please call +49 30 170 785 9591 from anywhere on the planet (or just 0170 785 9591 if you are already in Germany or Berlin) Frieda Halder's phone is +49 30 8413 4710 from anywhere (or just 030 8413 4710 if you are in Germany, or just 8413 4710 if you are in Berlin) You can also reach me by email Matthias Scheffler scheffler@fhi-berlin.mpg.de *** New: As a final note: If you have any special dietary requirements please let us know and we will be happy to make the necessary arrangements. We wish you a safe and pleasant trip! Looking forward to seeing you soon in Berlin. July 4, 2005: So far you have not replied to our email of June 14. I insert it again below. If you like accommodation in the Harnack House (only then we can cover the costs for lodging) you should please react within the next 2 weeks. June 14, 2005: Please note that the ordering of talks may still change, but the speakers are all

confirmed. Each talk should be less than 30 Minutes to leave more than 5 min-utes for discussion. Everyone participating is invited to bring a poster, and Max-Planck-directors may also inform group leaders in their institute about this meeting. If group leaders like to participate, they should please register as soon as possible. Everyone who likes to come (including the speakers) should please send an e-mail to THsecretary@fhi-berlin.mpg.de and tell us the following ASAP !!!!!!!!! -- arrival date and time -- departure date and time -- if you come alone or bring a partner -- accommodation requirements (single, double room, no room) If you need a room in the Harnack House, we will book it. Direct booking at the Harnack House is not possible. -- preliminary title(s) of your poster(s) You may check if we have received your information and if this is correct at the workshop website, clicking at participants. -- The expenses for lodging at the Harnack House will be covered directly by the MPG. We are looking forward to seeing you in Berlin. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
