Directions (Location Harburg / TUHH)


By airplane

After your arrival at the airport Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel (Hamburg Airport Helmut Schmidt) take the rapid-transit railway (S-Bahn) line S1 in the direction of Hauptbahnhof (central station) / Wedel / Blankenese. Change at the station Jungfernstieg (alternatively already at Hauptbahnhof) to the S3 or S5 in the direction of Harburg / Stade / Neugraben / Buxtehude at the opposite platform and exit at the station Harburg Rathaus. Follow the signs "Universität" and "TUHH", guiding the way to our university. You will find us in building K, whose main entrance can be reached from the park located in the middle of the campus (see also campus map below).

 

By train

Leave your long-distance train at the station Harburg or alternatively at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof (Hamburg central station). Take the rapid-transit railway (S-Bahn) line S3 or S5 in the direction of Harburg / Stade / Neugraben / Buxtehude and exit at the station Harburg Rathaus. Follow the signs "Universität" and "TUHH", guiding the way to our university. You will find us in building K, whose main entrance can be reached from the park located in the middle of the campus (see also campus map below).

 

By car

We are situated in building K, Denickestraße 15, 21073 Hamburg. In the rear courtyard is the entrance to the underground car park (fee-based) of the building.

Directions (Location Bahrenfeld / DESY)


By airplane

After your arrival at the airport Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel (Hamburg Airport Helmut Schmidt) take the rapid-transit railway (S-Bahn) line S1 in the direction of Hauptbahnhof (central station) / Wedel / Blankenese to the Othmarschen stop. Change there to bus line 1 in the direction of S Rissen / Sieversstücken and get off at the Zum Hünengrab (DESY) stop at the main entrance to the DESY campus. You will find us in the building of the Centre for X-ray and Nano Science (CXNS, building 94), as well as in the building of the Center for Hybrid Nanostructures (CHyN, building 600). For better orientation, you can use the DESY site plan.

 

By train

Leave your long-distance train at the station Altona or alternatively at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof (Hamburg central station). From Altona station, take bus line 1 in the direction of S Rissen / Sieversstücken and get off at the Zum Hünengrab (DESY) stop at the main entrance to the DESY site. From Hamburg central station, take the S-Bahn line S1 in the direction of Hauptbahnhof / Wedel / Blankenese to the Othmarschen stop. Change there to bus line 1 in the direction of S Rissen / Sieversstücken and get off at the Zum Hünengrab (DESY) stop at the main entrance to the DESY campus. You will find us in the building of the Centre for X-ray and Nano Science (CXNS, building 94), as well as in the building of the Center for Hybrid Nanostructures (CHyN, building 600). For better orientation, you can use the DESY site plan.

 

By car

Our location in the northwest of Hamburg is on the Bahrenfeld / DESY campus. The main entrance to the site is at the address Notkestraße 85, 22607 Hamburg. The side entrance, which is open for a limited time, can be found at the address Luruper Chaussee 149, 22761 Hamburg. Registration with the gatekeeper is required at both entrances. You will find us on the campus in the building of the Centre for X-ray and Nano Science (CXNS, building 94), as well as in the building of the Center for Hybrid Nanostructures (CHyN, building 600). For better orientation, you can use the DESY site plan.

  • 22.05.2025 Cluster of Excellence "BlueMat: Water-driven materials" approved

    BlueMat has been awarded funding through the Cluster of Excellence program (ExStra)!

    Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and its partner institutions will receive funding totalling 70 million Euro. The application process was challenging: out of a total of 143 draft proposals for new clusters of excellence, only 41 were invited to submit a full proposal. In this second round, the new applications competed with the 57 already established clusters. Of a total of 98 applications submitted, only 70 were approved. The Cluster of Excellence will initially be funded for seven years until 2033.

    We would like to thank all of our partners for their hard work. The whole team is energized and eager to begin bringing our vision to life. Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this exciting journey!

  • 26.02.2025 Centre for Molecular Water Science (CMWS) inaugurated

    The DESY-initiated CMWS is a Europe-wide research network in the field of molecular water research. The CMWS declaration has been signed by forty-seven founding members from twelve countries – including fourteen German universities and eight Helmholtz Centres.

  • 12.09.2024 Article "Deformation dynamics of nanopores upon water imbibition" published in PNAS

    Our article shows by a combination of experiments and computer simulations of water imbibition in nanopores that the competition between expansive, surface stress release at pore walls and negative, contractile Laplace pressures of nanoscale menisci lead to an unusual macroscopic behavior of the porous medium, which is generic for any liquid/nanoporous solid combination. The results allow one to quantify surface and Laplace stresses and to monitor nanoscale flow and infiltration states by relatively simple length measurements of the porous medium.
