[edit]From Berlin use the RE3 or RE4 to the Ludwigsfelde station (22 min). From Potsdam and Schönefeld Airport use the RB22 to the station Ludwigsfelde Struveshof. As the station is a bit outside of the city, the vbb[dead link] gives information on how to reach the city (german, pdf, plan of the bus network of the city included).

- 2 Ludwigsfelde-Struveshof railway station, Potsdamer Straße.
By car
[edit]Ludwigsfelde is directly connected to the Autobahn A10 ("Berliner Ring").
By bus
[edit]There are multiple bus connections to Potsdam and one bus every hour to the Berlin S-Bahn station Buckower Chaussee, but you will most likely prefer to take the train.
Get around
[edit]
The town centre is not that big and should be even walkable (also there exists a bus network), the whole city including all districts (11 small villages) has a size of 110km² - if you want to visit those, a car would be advantageous.
The bus network is centered on the train station of Ludwigsfelde, for a network map see the pdf above, timetables can be found here [dead link].
