Traveling

Getting to Hamburg

by plane

• Airport Hamburg

by train

• station Hamburg-Hauptbahnhof

Independent of whether you come by train or plane, once you are in Hamburg, getting to DESY is easy.

• take the S-Bahn (S1) in the direction of Wedel/Blankenese until station Othmarschen
• take the Bus (M1) from Othmarschen in direction Wedel/Blankenese/Rissen until
  • station Trabrennbahn Bahrenfeld (if you stay in the Mercure Hotel)
  • or until DESY/Huennengrab (if you stay at the DESY guest house).

I recommend that you book a room either at

• the DESY guest house
• or at the Mercure Hotel Hamburg am Volkspark

Registration

As DESY has a fairly relaxed security policy, the registration procedure is rather simple: just write an email to eugen.wintersberger@desy.de announcing your attendance. The mail should include the following information

• your name
• your institute
• additional equipment like monitors and/or keyboards if you need one.

No gate passes are required to enter the site. However, I will prepare some badges for you in case you’re getting lost ;).
