Trains.
Duisburg is located in western part of Germany, close to the lager cities Düsseldorf and Essen. There is a large train station in Duisburg, which is connected to the larges airport of that area, Düsseldorf International. Train connections from Düsseldorf Airport to Duisburg are excellent, with trains running every 5-10 minutes. Transit to Duisburg takes approx 10 minutes. Low fare trains include the S1 (calling all stations to Duisburg Central station) and the RE1 and RE6 (only stops at Duisburg Central stations). IC and ICE trains are also an option, but more expensive and not faster than RE1 and RE6, since it is only one station!
