- How to get to Bielefeld?
Welcome to Germany, one of the most well-connected countries in the world. The whole country has a vast train system that can get you any-where. Thus, once you enter Germany, you can easily access Bielefeld from many different cities. Depending on where you come from, perhaps the best option is to take one direct flight to Germany and then a train to get to Bielefeld. You can easily book a train using the application from the German Railway “DB Navigator App” or their webpage . It works for trains in Germany and also in some neighbouring countries. Here you find more useful information on how to use public transport in Germany.

How to get to Haus Neuland?
Our public transport companies are using the holiday period to carry out necessary construction work on the rail network. The following route is currently the most favourable:
On arrival at Bielefeld main station, take the regional train (RE) in the direction of Paderborn, platform 8. The train departs hourly (for example 12:43, 13:43, 14:43, 15:43, 16:43) and travels to Bielefeld-Sennestadt (3 intermediate stops). From Bielefeld-Sennestadt station shuttle buses will take you directly to Haus Neuland. These will depart on Sunday, 4th of August 2024 at: 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00 and 17:00. If you arrive at a different time, please register your need for a shuttle via e-mail to info@haus-neuland.de or call the reception of Haus Neuland at the following telephone number: +49 5205 91 26 10
There is an alternative, less comfortable way which includes taking the tram line 1 (direction: Brackwede) from Bielefeld central station to Adenauerplatz (4 intermediate stops). From there, take the bus-line 135 from the bus-stop “Kunsthalle” to “Württemberger Allee” (ca. 45 minutes bus ride). From here, it is a 2.3 km walk to Haus Neuland.
