GETTING HERE · HOW TO FIND US

Tram

Get off at Schillerplatz, then two minutes uphill. The tram through Gaustrasse runs Germany’s steepest tram line. You’ll feel it.

On foot

From Schillerplatz or St. Stephan’s — three minutes either way. See the Chagall windows first, then soft serve. Full pilgrimage.

By car

Park at the police HQ car park or Schillerplatz — then walk up the hill. The Gautor car park works too, from there you walk down. With a bit of luck you’ll find a spot right on Gaustrasse. Gaustrasse 13 — the black spiral on the building is hard to miss.
