Take the exit in eastern direction (from direction Zoologischer Garten / Potsdamer Platz in front, from direction Alexanderplatz / Stadtmitte in the back). You are now on the central pedestrian refuge on Hausvogteiplatz. Turn right and continue straight on at the paving edge of the slab and small cobblestone pavement on the middle island, then cross the street surrounding Hausvogteiplatz, turn left and walk a few meters to the corner of Mohrenstraße / Hausvogteiplatz, then turn right into Mohrenstraße. The first entrance on the right is slightly out of the wall. This is the main entrance to the Weierstrass Institute. Please note the step in front of the building and then two more irregular steps in the entrance area. The doorman has further instructions in the building.
