How to reach us

Where we are

The university lies ontop the Harz mountains, the highest mountain range in northern Germany. The Harz lies in the heart of germany, just south of the plane of northern germany. Clausthal-Zellerfeld developed as mining town. Today it hosts the university and lives from tourism. The next larger city is Goslar. Goslar has a long and important history, which developed in the middle ages due to silver mines in the Rammelsberg. This was the time when the german emperors stayed in Goslar. The medieval center of the city with beautifully carved and painted half-timbered houses is almost fully preserved. This is why Goslar was named world culture heritage by the Unesco.

How to get there

By train and bus:

Take the train to Goslar. It will take you after about one hour from Göttingen or Hannover.
Right outside the train station is a bus terminal. Take the bus to Clausthal. Exit at Kronenplatz. Call us from Kronenplatz and we pick you up.

By plane:

Two airports are relevant:

The nearest airport is in Hannover. From Hannover it is a one-and a half hours train and bus ride to Clausthal. Follow the directions given for public transportation.
If you fly in from abroad you may also land in Frankfurt. From here it is a three hour train (via Göttingen to Goslar) and bus ride.

By car:

From highway A7 from Würzburg via Kassel and Göttingen to Hannover or back.
1. Take exit "Seesen". Seesen is about 45 km north of Göttingen and about 70 km south of Hannover. (Do not take the exits Northeim, which also announce Clausthal-Zellerfeld. The exit Seesen is just north of the Highway gas station "Seesen".)
2. From exit Seesen make a right turn after the first light onto B243 direction Osterode.
3. Continue about 6km and take the exit to Clausthal-Zellerfeld. (The exit is a bit hidden after a turn to the right following a speed limit to 80km/h.)
4. Follow the road (B242) about 20 km into Clausthal.
5. Take a left turn after the second light in Clausthal-Zellerfeld where you enter "Technische Universität Feldgrabengebiet".
6. Continue about 1km until you see on your right a diving station painted bright orange and blue. Park your car in the lot next to it. You are right infront of our building.
From Goslar:
1. Get on the countryroad to Clausthal. After 17 km you enter Zellerfeld. Follow the road accross two lights (careful you must yield to traffic 5 m after the second light) and then about 1.5km until you see on the left a Volkwagen and Audi garage.
2. About 50 m further follow the sign "Technische Universität, Feldgrabengebiet" to the right.
3. At the crossing take a left turn and follow to the end.
4. Turn right into the Leibnizstrasse.
5. About 50 m further you see to your left a orange painted submarine station. Park your car in the space next to it. You are in front of the building for geology, where we are located.
