Your arrival by train

The Francke Foundations in Halle are partners of the campaign »mittenrein reisen«. Discover Halle, Leipzig and the surrounding area together with Southeast DB Regio and Central German Transport Association Halle.

You can reach the Francke Foundations on foot from Halle main station (Saale) in about 15 minutes. At Halle main station, follow the signs for »Innenstadt« (city centre) into the pedestrian zone. At the traffic lights at the Leipziger Turm, turn half left into Waisenhausring. On the left you can already see the Lange Hause of the Foundations. Follow the Waisenhausring until you reach Franckeplatz, on the left-hand side of which is the main entrance to the foundations.

Make use of the local public transport services.

Your arrival by public transport

Tram lines 4 (direction Kröllwitz), 9 (direction Göttinger Bogen) and 7 (direction Kröllwitz) run directly from Halle main station (Saale) to the Franckeplatz stop without changing trains. Opposite to the stop you will find the Historical Orphanage of the Franckesche Stiftungen on your left.

If you are coming from the city, choose a connection that will take you to the market square. From there, lines 1,3,7,8 or 16 will take you one stop south to Franckeplatz. The Historical Orphanage of the Franckesche Stiftungen is on the left hand side a little further in the direction of travel.

Current information on construction sites or timetable changes can be found on the Hallesche Verkehrs AG website.
