Luggage storageBerlin Südkreuz Station

Luggage lockers at Berlin Südkreuz

Many travellers passing through Berlin Sudkreuz find themselves with time to kill between trains or before a flight, and a bag they'd rather not haul around.

The station connects directly to BER Airport in about 15 minutes, while the city centre is roughly 20 minutes away by train. The Tempodrom venue nearby has a strict bag-size limit, so anything larger than DIN A4 needs to stay outside, where the venue's own storage area accepts only a limited number of items. Berlin Sudkreuz also links long-distance ICE, IC/EC, regional, S-Bahn, and bus services in one interchange. You'll find the station's luggage lockers in the east and west halls near the escalators. A smaller locker costs €3.00 and a larger one costs €5.00 per 24 hours. Lockers can be rented for up to 24 hours and require payment in coins. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per day at 5 locations near Berlin Sudkreuz.

⁣There's no strict size limit, though prices can vary with bag size. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to €12,000. Stasher storage near Berlin Sudkreuz can be booked through the website or app.⁣

Getting to the airport and the city with bags

The Airport Express (FEX) reaches BER Airport directly from Südkreuz in about 15 minutes, while the S45 offers a slower S-Bahn option of roughly 30 minutes. To get around Berlin itself, the S41 ring line runs clockwise and the S42 runs anticlockwise from the station, and the city centre is about 20 minutes away by train. Lifts make the station workable with luggage, though an escalator under repair could slow you down, so allow a little extra time if you're carrying a heavy bag.

If you're heading to Tempodrom

Tempodrom Berlin is a distinctive event venue that hosts concerts and galas, and it sits right by the S-Bahn station Anhalter Bahnhof. Its bag rule is tight: only bags no larger than DIN A4 (21.0 x 29.7 cm) are allowed inside, one per person. Anything bigger has to stay outside, where the venue's own storage area opposite the main entrance accepts a limited number of larger items for a €5 fee, so don't rely on it if you're arriving with a suitcase. Anhalter Bahnhof is served by S-Bahn lines S1, S2, S25 and S26, so it's worth sorting your bags before you head to the venue. From Südkreuz you can also access long-distance intercity and international connections, including ICE, IC/EC, and EuroNight services.
