How to find us
From Rostock main train station, you can take either the city train (S-Bahn) or the tram. The city train takes about 3 minutes to reach "Parkstraße". By tram, take line 4 (direction Mecklenburger Allee) and change at the stop "Doberaner Platz" to line 6 (direction: Neuer Friedhof). Get off at the stop "Parkstraße" and follow the small path leading to the red brick buildings which can be spotted from the S-Bahn/tram station. Entering the campus, you will find Haus 3 on the left-hand side. Another option is to take tram line 6 (direction Neuer Friedhof) directly at the main train station to "Parkstraße". Although this route is more time consuming, it allows some nice sightseeing around the city centre.
