Attention: Construction work at the "Altstadt-König" car park! 

The direct stairway from the parking garage towards the University Clinics (Uni-Kliniken Tal) and thus to the IWM is currently closed due to construction work. Please follow the signs in the multi-storey car park and choose the stairway via the connecting stairs from Rümelinstraße. After climbing the stairs, turn right into Schleichstraße. After approx. 200 m you will reach the IWM building Schleichstraße 6 on the left side of the road. The walk to the IWM takes about 5 minutes.
The multi-storey car park “Altstadt-König” is expected to be fully closed from January 2023 to the end of November 2023. Alternatively, you can visit the “Altstadt-Mitte” car park, Am Stadtgraben 13 (https://www.swtue.de/parken.html, in German only). The walk to the IWM takes about 7 minutes.

Barrier-free access

The institute has a barrier-free entrance at the back of the building (see map above). There is also a disabled parking lot. Since the door is currently locked with a code, please get in touch with your in-house contact persons before your visit.
