How to Reach LRZ
Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) of the Bavarian Academic of Science and Humanities is located at:
Boltzmannstraße 1
85748 Garching
- LRZ Lecture Hall (Hörsaal, H.E.009)
- LRZ Lecture Hall Foyer (Hörsaal-Foyer H.E.001)
- LRZ Seminar Room 1 (Seminarraum 1, H.E.008)
Traveling by public transport (MVV):
From Hauptbahnhof:
Take the U4/U5 and alight at Odeonsplatz, then change and take the U6 to the end of the line (Garching Forschungszentrum).
From the Airport:
Take the S8 S-Bahn (towards Hauptbahnhof) and alight at Ismaning. From there, take the 230 regional bus towards Garching-Forschungszentrum and get off at Boltzmannstraße.
Important: The 230 bus service only goes around the research site in one direction. To avoid long waiting times, we recommend that you exit the bus at the Garching-Forschungszentrum stop for return journeys to Ismaning.
By S-Bahn:
Take all S-Bahn trains to Marienplatz, then change to the U6 and travel to the end of the line (Garching-Forschungszentrum).
By Car:
Take the A9 motorway from either the south (e.g. from Munich) or from the north (e.g. airport) and exit at Garching Nord.
After the exit, turn onto Anna-Boyksen-Straße and head towards the research institutes.
There is a car park on the left-hand side. The LRZ computer cube can be seen from afar. You can then reach the LRZ on foot by walking past the computer building and the institute building to the main entrance. Please note: The parking spaces outside the main entrance are park-and-ride spaces.
