Arrival/Parking
Arrival/Parking by Car, Van, and Coach:
If arriving by car from the north, south, or west, drive to the Münster South interchange. Then follow the bypass and turn towards Hammer Straße/Hiltrup. After about 1 kilometre on Hammer Straße, you will reach the Preußenstadion, which will be on your right. Turn right before the stadium onto Am Berg Fidel.
Alternatively, you can also take the A1 to the Hiltrup exit, then drive through Hiltrup towards Münster on Hammer Straße. Follow Hammer Straße to the stadium and turn left behind the stadium onto Am Berg Fidel. This route is usually less busy because it bypasses the city centre.
Parking:
Away fans arriving by car can park in the P1 and P2 guest parking lots. Buses and vans should use parking lot P4 directly at the away entrance. Away fans who park their cars in P1 or P2 should walk up the street „Am Berg Fidel“ towards P4. After about 150m, they can turn left onto P4 to reach the away fans‘ entrance.
IMPORTANT: Parking tickets for P1 and P2 must be purchased in advance at the SV Darmstadt 98 Online-Ticketshop. This is possible until Friday (May 8th) at 12 noon. Parking fees for P1 and P2: 10 euros.
By public transport:
If you are arriving by train, please get off at Münster Central Station and head towards the exit on Bahnhofstraße. There you can take bus lines 1, 5, and 9, which run directly from the station forecourt to the stadium.
