The nearest international airport is Hamburg. From there, take a local train (S-Bahn) to Hamburg main station. (There is a train every 10 minutes.)
By public transport:
The closest train station (trains operated by Deutsche Bahn) is Bad Malente-Gremsmühlen. From there you can either take a taxi to the Gustav Heinemann Bildungsstätte (which costs about 8 Euro) or, if you prefer some exercise, walk for about 3 km. (Unfortunately the current bus schedule implies that there are no public busses on Sunday afternoon after 2 pm from the train station to the venue. However the official schedule for March is not published by now. As soon as this is the case we will give detailed information about all bus connections on this website.)
