The BGGeek Guide To Getting Through Duesseldorf Airport & Onto Your Train For Essen
All the photos are clickable. Just click on one to see it full-size.
After arriving at Duesseldorf airport, you have to get to the railway station and get the train to Essen. When you've been through immigration and got your luggage, you enter the arrivals hall. From here you have to get the Skytrain, a monorail, through the terminals until you reach the railway station at the airport. Then you get your ticket to Essen, and go down to the platform.
Here's what you do...

You've arrived! Got your luggage, you totter down the Arrivals ramp. Where now?
duss
Look for this sign. You want
THE SKYTRAIN! Through the door...
duss
Hey! Up or down?
duss
Up if you're going for the train (DB) via SKYTRAIN!
duss
The next one arrives, wait for the doors to open.

Fantastic! It's a train IN THE SKY!
Eventually you arrive at the station...
... stepping out, you make your way
down to the door at the end.
Just through the door, you immediately turn right. Follow that woman with the suitcase...
... to the railway station ticket concourse. Those people are checking the trains. Just to their left is a ticket machine.
Here's the ticket machine. It's simple really, you just need to get the right code for Essen Hbf.
After buying you ticket, punch it
in the date stamper DING! Do it now.
 
 
Looking to our right now, we see the way to the platforms. And can you see those blue screens mid left?
Here they are. They show the next trains. Gleise means platform.
Typically it is Platform 5 you want. Hey look, the S1 is due for Essen!
 
Soon you'll arrive at Essen, and I'll get some more shots.

Leaving for home? Then follow the signs for your Terminus, back on the Skytrain.
duss
Back at the superb Duesseldorf concourse.
duss
This is where you check in.
 
Cheerio Essen. See you next year.
