Conference on Spatial Information Theory


To be held at the

 Stadeum

 Stade, near Hamburg, Germany

The following five routes are suggestions on how you can reach the conference site from Hamburg airport.


Route 1: Recommended scenic route (taxi - catamaran - taxi)

From the airport take a taxi to Landungsbruecken at the Hamburg harbor. There, take the Elbe-City-Jet (a catamaran), which leaves of platform 4. The ship takes you in 45 minutes along the Elbe river with a scenic view both of the beautiful parts of the harbour and the city of Hamburg to Stadersand. From there, a bus will take you directly to the Pferdemarkt in the town of Stade. The conference site is in walking distance (500 meters) from the Pferdemarkt. You can also find taxis to bring you to the STADEUM. The hotel "Stader Hof" is immediately adjacent to STADEUM.

From the airport, you take bus no. 110 to the city-train station Ohlsdorf. If you miss the bus, you can of course take a taxi. In Ohlsdorf take the S1(green line) heading either to Landungsbruecken, Altona or Blankenese. Leave the train at Landungsbruecken and cross the bridge to the Hamburg harbor. Take a right and find the Elbe-City-Jet (a catamaran) at platform4. The ship takes you in 45 minutes along the Elbe river with a scenic view to Stadersand (continue as in Route 1).

Route 4: Taxi trip to Stade

If you are in a hurry, a direct trip to Stade with a taxi can be an alternative for you. The taxi-trip costs about 180 DM and takes between 50 and 60 minutes. If you are a group of up to 6 persons, you can get a "Grossraumtaxi". As the price will be split among the passengers, this may be more economic than the other routes.

 If you are interested in this kind of transportation, please let us know at least 2 weeks in advance, so that we can reserve a car for you, which will pick you up at the airport.


Route 5: Driving instructions (from Hamburg airport to Stade)

From the airport take route B433 in northern direction until you reach  crossing road "Ring 3" (brown sign, approx. 2 km). Turn left and follow "Ring 3" until you reach freeway A7 (blue signs, approx. 5 km). Take the freeway, direction "Hannover". After passing the river Elbe tunnel and a total freeway trip of about 20 km leave the freeway at "Heimfeld". Take road B73 heading west, which will take you directly to Stade (approx. 35 km). In Stade follow the white signs to "STADEUM". The hotel "Stader Hof" is immediately adjacent to STADEUM.
