Travel by car / motorcycle
Visits by car or motorcycle are easily possible. Parking space is
available right at the house and can be used free of charge during open
hours. The parking lots can be reached via "Ohmstraße" or
"Heinrich-Strunk-Straße". For parking in
"Ohmstraße" you need to be an early bird as the parking lot
usually is busy even in the early mornings.
Green zones in
Germany
Please note that the city of Essen has a so-called green zone, which
may be used
only by vehicles with special environmental badges. The ATT ground
and its parkings are located right on the edge of this zone. If your
vehicle
doesn't have an environmental badge, we recommend parking outside the
green zone
(approx. 5 minutes to walk).
This rule also applies to foreign vehicles
(40€ fine). Motorcycles are not subject to green zones.

Travel by public

For travel by public transport, we recommend the S-Bahn (local train)
lines S1 (Düsseldorf -> Dortmund) and S3 (Oberhausen
-> Hattingen). The ATT ground can be reached within a 10 minutes
footwalk from the
train station "Essen Frohnhausen".
 Further information and
timetables can be obtained at
