Practical advice

Deutsche Post AG has a branch in a central location on Adolfstrasse. The usual banking, telecommunications and postal transactions are to be carried out there. It is advisable either to get there on foot or to park the car in the adjacent paid parking garage, because the post office itself only provides six free parking spaces for customers.
