Workshop Combinatorics meets Coxeter Groups (CCG)

To reach Bielefeld, you can use the following ways:

• By air: There are several close airports that have a one way connection from the corresponding main station of the cities via Deutsche Bahn (German train system) to Bielefeld Main Station (Bielefeld Hauptbahnhof):
  • Hannover (HAJ)
  • Düsseldorf (DUS)
  • Berlin (BER)
  The international airport in Frankfurt am Main (FRA) is also an option, but then you need to change trains in order to come to Bielefeld via Deutsche Bahn. We recommend in this case to evade passing through Cologne (Köln) Main Station.
• By train: The nearest train station is that of Bielefeld (Bielefeld Hauptbahnhof). German train is not reliable so please plan with enough time to switch trains or take delays into account.
• By car: Bielefeld is well-connected to the A2/A33 freeway. The address for the University is Universitätsstraße 25, 33615 Bielefeld. There are several options for free parking at the University.
• In order to reach the University we recommend using tram line 4 in direction "Lohmannshof" and get off at "Universität". All tram lines in Bielefeld share the same three stops in the city center which are "Hauptbahnhof", "Jahnplatz" and "Rathaus". The tram is not free you need to have a valid ticket in order to use it otherwise you might get fined.

If you receive funding from the workshop, we have reserved accommodation at the Locals Stadthotel Bielefeld.

Address:
Locals Stadthotel Bielefeld
Niederwall 31-35
33602 Bielefeld

How to reach the University:
From the hotel, it is just a short walk (approx. 3–5 minutes) to the central tram stops "Rathaus" or "Jahnplatz". From either stop, take tram line 4 (direction "Lohmannshof") directly to the stop "Universität" (approx. 7–10 minutes).

The canteens and cafeterias on campus are run by the Studierendenwerk Bielefeld. The lecture hall X-E0-002 is located in building X, so the two closest options are only a short walk from the talks.

Payment:

• Please bring a card: payment at the tills works with girocard/EC card, credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Do not rely on cash.
• The reduced student price is only granted when paying with a UniCard/HochschulCard. As an external guest you will always be charged the guest price, no matter which means of payment you use.
• If you would like a chargeable card, the Studierendenwerk issues a ServiceCard at the Servicepoint in building X (deposit of 5 €); it can be topped up there and at the top-up machines in building X.
