Drive in direction city center from A5 resp. A67 which arrives at the Darmstädter cross on A672 (this leads later to B26-Rheinstraße). Then drive straightforward in direction of the City-Ring-Tunnel. In the tunnel keep left and after the exit, at the next traffic light, turn left. Before the next traffic light drive on the right trace (not on the right bending trace!). At the end turn right, up to Alexanderstraße. After approximately 250 m, on the left side (Alexanderstr. 8 ), is the building of the Chair of Paper Technology and Mechanical Process Engineering.

Since the parking lots around the building are very limited, give attention to the parking possibilities nearby. Please follow the sign-posting to the Darmstadtium. The next park possibility lies in the underground parking directly opposite of the Chair of PMV.
