How to reach TWIST

By plane:

There are two airports near Duisburg: airport Düsseldorf (DUS) and Cologne/ Bonn (CGN).

  • If you arrive at DUS you can take regional trains (RE) or the S-Bahn (S) to Duisburg Hbf (Duisburg central station): S1, RE6, RE19, RE3 from platform 5 / RE5, RE1 from platform 1. This should take 8-20 minutes.
  • If you arrive at CGN you first have to take the train to Köln Hbf (Cologne central station) (RB 27 platform 1/ S19 platform 2) and from there to Duisburg Hbf (RE5 platform 1 A-C/ RE1 from platform 4). Alternatively, you can take the RE6 from platform 3 to Duisburg Hbf directly.

For more detailed travel info look at the webpage of Deutsche Bahn (https://www.bahn.com/en/view/index.shtml).

By public transport:

After arriving at Duisburg Hbf, you can go either by tram or bus. Both are run by the DVG regional transport authority (https://www.dvg-duisburg.de/nc/). You can buy tickets (if they’re not included in your train ticket) at ticket machines in the central station. 

By bus:

Leave the train station at the east entrance (Osteingang). There you can take the Bus line 933 or 926 (direction Uni Nord, Duisburg) and exit at “Uni Nord-Lotharstraße”. The circle shaped buildings close by are the university buildings. Just follow the signs to department MG.

By tram:

Leave the train station through the main entrance and take the tram 901 (direction Mühlheim an der Ruhr) to “Zoo/Uni” (third stop). When exiting the tram, head down the street from where you came and on the left-hand side you should see the round shaped university buildings. Follow Mühlheimer Straße and turn left on Lotharstraße. You will encounter a bus stop sign. To your left is now the department MG, where TWIST is located. Follow the signs to the correct building/rooms.

By car:

  • Coming from the A2/A3/A40, take the exit "Duisburg-Kaisberg". Turn left into Carl-Benz-Straße and follow this street until you reach the nearest parking lot to the institute at Carl-Benz-Straße 201 (section M/L). From there, follow the signs by foot to section M and then to the MG building.

  • Coming from the A59, take the exit "Duisburg-Mitte, Koloniestraße". Turn left into Mozartstraße, then again left into Lotharstraße and then right into Forsthausweg. After a curve, you will reach the nearest parking lot to the institute at Carl-Benz-Straße 201 (section M/L). From there, follow the signs by foot to section M and then to the MG building.
