If you're just going for the match against FC Magdeburg in Schoningen, Hanover is still probably the closest airport. Getting to Schoningen from the airport or from Barsinghausen by public transport is a bit tricky. Looks like three different trains and a three hour journey. Car rental looks the best option.
