Guest Apartments

Welcome to the Max Planck Institute’s Guest Apartments!

A total of eight apartments are available to guests of the Institute.

The apartments are located in the administration building’s rear wing in Fürstenbergstraße 19, just a few steps away from the Institute’s main building in Günterstalstraße 73.

Due to size, seven of the eight apartments have been designed primarily for one person.

It can also be booked for a small group (max. 4 guests).

All apartments are furnished as follows:

• Pantry kitchen.
• Bathroom with shower and toilet.
• Living-, sleeping- and working area.
