Location and Travel Information

Location

The Institute of Mathematics is located at Eckerstraße 1, in the 'Institutsviertel' just north of Freiburg's city centre.

Walking from the central train station:

Leaving Freiburg central train station, cross the street directly in front of it (Bismarckallee) and follow it to the left (due north, parallel to the railroad tracks). At the following big intersection, keep going north along Stefan-Meier-Straße. After having passed the parking lot (on your right), take the footpath to the right. The big brick-red building on your left houses the institute of mathematics. To get to the main entrance, walk a few steps onto Eckerstraße. The walk takes about 7 minutes.

Clickable map of the University.
On the map, the yellow building just north of "Gewerbeschule" (which itself is just north of Friedrichring) is the mathematics institute in Eckerstr. 1. On this map, Rheinstrasse is drawn through towards Stefan-Meier-Straße, though actually in the western end of Rheinstrasse there is only a footpath connecting the two streets. On the right-hand side of the footpath there is the Gewerbeschule and on the left-hand side there is a garage with solar cells on the roof.

We booked rooms in The Alex Hotel, which is just opposite the mathematical institute. The entrance is not on Eckerstraße but on Rheinstraße, number 29.
