Arrive in Cottbus — the bilingual capital of Lower Lusatia with the BTU campus and Prince Pückler's Branitz park — with a private fixed-price transfer from Frankfurt Airport (FRA).

Cottbus (Chóśebuz in Lower Sorbian) is the second-largest city in Brandenburg and the centre of Lusatia, a region whose lignite economy is being rebuilt around energy research, the Lausitz Science Park and Deutsche Bahn's new ICE maintenance works. The Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) has its main campus north of the city centre, with a second site in Senftenberg. Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau laid out Branitz Park on the eastern edge of town, complete with the earth pyramid that serves as his tomb, and the Art Nouveau Staatstheater is one of the finest theatre buildings of its era in Germany. The Spreewald biosphere reserve begins a short drive to the north-west, and both Dresden and Berlin are roughly 120 km away.

Practical Travel Tips for Cottbus

Book your transfer at least 24 hours in advance, especially in summer peak season (June–September)
Share your flight number so your driver automatically tracks any delays — no extra charge
Terminal 1 (Hall B/C) and the new Terminal 3 at FRA are both covered — mention yours at booking
Cottbus city centres often have limited parking — a door-to-door transfer avoids this entirely
Give your driver the exact hall of residence or the BTU Zentralcampus address at booking; a Business Van carries a full semester's luggage for up to 8 people at no extra charge

Why FrankfurtRide?

Your FrankfurtRide chauffeur tracks your flight and meets you at FRA arrivals with a name sign. Whether you land at Terminal 1 or the new Terminal 3, your fixed-price transfer to Cottbus is confirmed before you board — no surprises on arrival.

Best Time to Visit Cottbus

Arrival peaks at BTU come in early October and early April, when international students land at FRA with a semester's worth of luggage and no direct rail link to Lusatia. The FilmFestival Cottbus each November and the Spreewald punting season from May to September bring visitors the rest of the year, alongside engineers heading for the energy-transition projects. The drive follows the A3 and A4 past Erfurt and Dresden, then the A13 and A15 into Cottbus, around 575 km in roughly 6h 05min.
