Access and Arrival
The entrance to the Gropius Bau via the accessible entrance is suitable for people with limited mobility, wheelchairs and prams. This is located to the left of the main entrance and is additionally marked with signs in front of the main entrance.
From the surrounding public transport stops, this can be reached as follows:

S-Bahn station Anhalter Bahnhof (S1, S2, S25, S26): 
The nearby S-Bahn station Anhalter Bahnhof has an escalator and a lift. This is delineated by signs on the train platforms. The escalator and lift can be found on the way towards the exit “Möckernstraße/Tempodrom”. The lift leads to Askanischer Platz, which is connected to Schöneberger Straße by a tarred path. After about 100 metres on the right-hand side, you will find yourself on Stresemannstraße. Cross the street and stay on the left for about 500 metres to Niederkirchnerstraße. As soon as you have turned onto Niederkirchnerstraße, you will already see the main entrance 100 metres away, with a sign regarding the barrier-free entrance.
The S-Bahn station also has an exit via stairs. This is located in the direction of the exit “Stresemannstraße/Schöneberger Straße”, where the “Martin-Gropius-Bau” is already marked with an accompanying arrow on the platform sign. If you follow this sign, another one will point you to the right exit, which leads directly to Stresemannstraße. There, another sign points the way to the Gropius Bau. 

Bus stop Abgeordnetenhaus (M41):
On Stresemannstraße, between the Abgeordnetenhaus S-Bahn station and the turn-off to Niederkirchnerstraße, you will also find the bus stop “Abgeordnetenhaus”. If you arrive there from the direction of “Potsdamer Platz”, you must first cross the street. After about 300 metres along Stresemannstraße, you will find Niederkirchnerstraße on the right-hand side. As soon as you have turned into this street, the main entrance is 100 metres away, along with a sign directing you to the accessible entrance.

(Accessible) parking spaces
The Gropius Bau has a large car park on its west side, which can be reached via an entrance on Stresemannstraße.

There are six accessible parking spaces on the left-hand side of this car park. Niederkirchnerstraße also has a disabled-friendly car park, which is located on the side of the Abgeordnetenhaus, Berlin’s House of Representatives, diagonally opposite the main entrance.
