Travelling to Wuppertal
Due to major constructions on the railway, it is currently not possible to go by train from the Düsseldorf mainstation (Hauptbahnhof) to Wuppertal. However, there is a replacement service done by busses. In German the replacement service is called Schienenersatzverkehr (or SEV).
How to find the bus-station of the SCHIENENERSATZVERKEHR? You need to leave the train-station. On the ground you will see purple lines. Once you are in front of the building, you need to turn right and follow the street „Worringer Straße“ until the crossing „Immermannstraße“. At the crossing you need to turn left and cross the street. Then you immediately need to turn right and follow the street until reaching the bus-station number 17. The signs of the bus-station are purple. It takes about 5 minutes to get to the bus-station (around 350 m walking distance).
Make sure that you take the bus in the right direction. There should be marked „Hauptbahnhof, Hagen (Westf)“ or „Hagen“ on the bus. The busses are also purple. The ride will take around 50 minutes.
In Wuppertal the bus will stop at „Hauptbahnhof Historische Stadthalle, Wuppertal“. From there it takes about 9 minutes to get into the city center of Wuppertal (around 650 m walking distance).
Arrival to Grifflenberg campus
Arriving by public transport we recommend reaching Wuppertal main station first.
There you will find a major bus station where you can take the following lines to reach the university:
- 615 in direction 'Remscheid' until 'Wuppertal Universität'
- 645 in direction 'Schulzentrum Süd' until 'Wuppertal Universität'
- Please mind that also lines 625 and 603 approach you to university, but do not stop at the closest stop for the workshop location.
Arriving by car you may use the following address for your navigation system:
Gaußstraße 20
42119 Wuppertal
We have several parking garages you may use. With respect to the conference venue, we recommend using parking house PB.
Looking at the map you may be tempted to walk from the city center to Grifflenberg campus. This is entirely possibly, however a quite steep path. Hence, just be prepared or choose to walk downhill at the end of the workshop day.
The address for navigation is:
Gaußstraße 20
42119 Wuppertal
