By bus or train
Mannheim main station is close to the University of Mannheim and Mannheim Business School (see map in Venue). By foot: At the front exit of the station go straight ahead to the large junction and turn left into Bismarckstraße. After about 5 minutes, you will reach the palace building of the university, on the left. Continue along the palace until you reach the courtyard (“Ehrenhof”). From there, it is only a few meters to the entrance of the MBS SCC on the right (see picture above). Alternatively, tram lines 1, 2, 4a, 5/5a, 6/6a and 15 take you to the stops “Schloss” or “Universität”, the stops nearest to the SCC.
You can get your own timetable
here.
By foot
The university is a 10 minute walk from the main station: Leave the main station in direction of the town centre.
Cross the tram lines and turn left. Follow the road straight on for about 300m passing a car park on the way, continue to the end of the road.
Here you will come across a creme-coloured house with blue window-frames. Turn right in front of this house and go straight on until you get to a multi-lane road,
the Bismarckstrasse. Taking a left turn and walking past two blocks of houses at the Bisnmarckstrasse you will reach the university directly.
The main entrance is situated in the east wing in front of you.
By car
By car the university can be reached via the A6, leaving the motorway at the exit "Mannheim Mitte". After the planetarium follow the signs to the left indicating "Universität".
After passing the main train station you will lead you to the baroque palace which accommodates large parts of the university.
The main entrance of the university lies in the east wing, the first wing coming into sight driving along the Bismarckstrasse. The SCC is located in the west wing of Mannheim Palace on the right side of the courtyard (“Ehrenhof”).
Unfortunately the university does not have a car park for visitors. You can park your car in the multi-storey car park directly
by the Bismarckstrasse next to the west wing of the baroque palace or in the car park in N2.
By plane
Mannheim has got a "city airport" with direct connections to and from Berlin and Hamburg. Frankfurt International Airport is to be reached via train within 40 minutes time.
