Travelling by Car
Leave the Autobahn (A 7) at the Goettingen exit heading toward Goettingen on Kasseler Landstrasse. Continue on this street (which changes its name to Groner Landstrasse, Groner-Tor-Strasse) just into the city center (after the railroad underpass). You can park your car at the parking ramp on Groner-Tor-Strasse. Now walk a bit further along Groner Strasse. After crossing the Leinekanal, go left (north) on Papendiek, here the street forks. Proceed along Papendiek a little more than two short blocks. Soon you will see on your right the courtyard called "Lichtenberghof," with a sculpture the seated Lichtenberg, a famous Goettingen scholar. Go in here and use the building entrance which is straight ahead of you.
Travelling by Train
Leave the train station heading toward the city centre ("Innenstadt"), i.e., toward the east. Cross the train station's plaza diagonally in the direction of the bus platforms. You will see a pedestrian crossing with stoplight. Cross the divided street (Berliner Strasse) and continue straight ahead on the Goethe - Allee heading downtown. Continue along the right-hand side of this street. Directly at the Leinekanal, at the corner of Goethe-Allee / Prinzenstrasse and Papendiek, turn right onto Papendiek. After a few meters, you will see the courtyard named "Lichtenberghof" on the left-hand (east) side of the street, after the historical library building proper. Use the entrance straight ahead of you at the end of the courtyard, passing the sculpture of the seated Lichtenberg, a famous Goettingen scholar, on your left.
