Location of DGFI
The DGFI is hosted in the buildings of the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften (BAdW). The BAdW is south of the Hofgarten, very close to Marienplatz, the centre of Munich (see map). Marienplatz is a stop for all trains on the local rapid transport system from Munich airport (line S8) and Munich central railway station (lines S1 - S8). From the airport you may also take Lufthansa airport bus going non-stop to Munich central station. The BAdW can also be reached by underground on the lines U3, U4, U5 and U6 (station Odeonsplatz). Please note, car parking is not possible at the BAdW. We strongly recommend to use public transport (see attached map). (Please note: The address has changed: it is Alfons-Goppel-Straße 11 now although nothing else has changed and it is still in the very buildings of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences.)
