Production travel across Germany — Frankfurt Main + Munich + Berlin BER + Hamburg + Düsseldorf airport hubs, Deutsche Bahn ICE high-speed rail, Autobahn convoy routing, and Schengen-area visa coordination.

Global arrivals route through Frankfurt am Main FRA (Europe's fourth-busiest hub), Munich Franz Josef Strauss MUC, Berlin Brandenburg BER (opened 2020), Hamburg Helmut Schmidt HAM, Düsseldorf DUS, and Cologne / Bonn CGN. Deutsche Bahn ICE high-speed rail connects Frankfurt-Berlin in under 4 hours, Munich-Berlin in 4 hours, Hamburg-Berlin in 1h45, Cologne-Frankfurt in 1h05, supporting kit moves and crew rotations without flights.
Here is the short of it. Autobahn convoy routing handles gear trucks from ARRI Munich rental yards to Studio Babelsberg Potsdam, Bavaria Filmstadt Geiselgasteig, MMC Köln, Tempelhof Studios Berlin, Studio Hamburg, and Studio Berlin Adlershof. We set up Schengen-area visa records for non-EU crew, reciprocal SAG-AFTRA / DGA / IATSE travel plan for US talent, Künstlersozialkasse KSK enrollment for freelance arrivals, and Sozialversicherung records on temporary German residency stints.
