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.
