Make a right turn into the Olshausenstr. Soon after, there will be two bridges, first a pedestrian walk, then some railway tracks.

By Taxi: About a 15 minute drive
By Bus: About a 25 minute drive. Take Route 501 or 502 (both with destination Flintbek), and get off on "Waitzstr./Holtenauerstr." Now take Route 22 (destination Woltersweg) or 32 (destination Rungholtplatz) directly to the stop called "IPN", right in front of the IPN building.

From Hamburg Airport to the Department of Psychology / IPN:
Because the Hamburg Airport is located in the north of Hamburg, it is at most times not convenient to first go the city-center, and from there take a train to Kiel. Instead, take the "Kielius" bus from Hamburg Airport to Kiel Central Station. It leaves about once an hour (timetable), and the ride takes about 90 minutes. For directions from Kiel Central Station to the Department of Psychology / IPN, see above.
