How to find us

By train and bus

Giessen has three train stations: “Hauptbahnhof”, “Giessen Oswaldsgarten”, and „Gießen Licher Straße“. From all of them direct connections to the university campus Philosophikum I exist.

• From “Hauptbahnhof” take bus route number 10. Please get off at the last stop "Philosophikum 2". From there, it is 10 minutes walking distance to the GCSC.

• From Giessen Oswaldsgarten take either bus number 801 or bus number 802. The bus 801 is slightly preferable because it stops closer to the GCSC building. Exit at the final stop “Ostschule”.

• From the “Licher Straße” station, the GCSC can be reached on foot in about 10 minutes.

Please note that there are restrictions on public transportation due to constructions around the campus.
