Location & approach

By car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located close to interstate junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A 45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B 1 / A 40. The best interstate exit to take from A 45 is “Dortmund-Eichlinghofen” (closer to South Campus), and from B 1 / A 40 “Dortmund-Dorstfeld” (closer to North Campus). Signs for the university are located at both exits. Also, there is a new exit before you pass over the B 1-bridge leading into Dortmund.

To get from North Campus to South Campus by car, there is the connection via Vogelpothsweg/Baroper Straße. We recommend you leave your car on one of the parking lots at North Campus and use the H-Bahn (suspended monorail system), which conveniently connects the two campuses.

By train

TU Dortmund University has its own train station (“Dortmund Universität”). From there, suburban trains (S-Bahn) leave for Dortmund main station (“Dortmund Hauptbahnhof”) and Düsseldorf main station via the “Düsseldorf Airport Train Station” (take S-Bahn number 1, which leaves every 15 or 30 minutes). The university is easily reached from Bochum, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg.

You can also take the bus or subway train from Dortmund city to the university: From Dortmund main station, you can take any train bound for the Station “Stadtgarten”, usually lines U41, U45, U 47 and U49. At “Stadtgarten” you switch trains and get on line U42 towards “Hombruch”. Look out for the Station “An der Palmweide”. From the bus stop just across the road, busses bound for TU Dortmund University leave every ten minutes (445, 447 and 462). Another option is to take the subway routes U41, U45, U47 and U49 from Dortmund main station to the stop “Dortmund Kampstraße”. From there, take U43 or U44 to the stop “Dortmund Wittener Straße”. Switch to bus line 447 and get off at “Dortmund Universität S”.

By plane

The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System)

The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on North Campus. One (“Dortmund Universität S”) is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the university directly with the city of Dortmund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the “Technologiepark” and (via South Campus) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at North Campus and offers a direct connection to South Campus every five minutes.

Map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent “Technologiepark”.

City Festival

DORTBUNT!

Since 2016, the city of Dortmund has shown its diversity at the “DORTBUNT!” Cityfest. Under the motto “One city. Many faces” tens of thousands of people celebrate their colorful city during one weekend. A varied program is presented on twelve stages and at numerous stands institutions, actors and associations present themselves to the public. Over the years, more than 150 partners have clearly demonstrated how much commitment, passion and quality the city has to offer.

The TU Dortmund presented itself again this year at its booth in all its diversity: Contributions and hands-on activities from the areas of studies, sustainability, technology and sports provided insights into science for young and old.

Information on study opportunities was available at the advice desk from the Central Student Advisory Service. The senior studies program also presented itself. Technology fans got their money's worth at an event organized by DLR_SchoolLab: the staff gave a live demonstration of their 3D printer. At an event organized by the Sustainability Office, visitors could test how much electricity is actually needed to charge a cell phone battery. To do this, the electricity had to be "trampled" on a bicycle. The Human Resources Development quiz on careers and training brought a fair amount of competition to the stand. The dance groups of the university sports department got really active. The Anatolian folk dancers and the cheerleaders showed parts of their program next to the booth.

In the afternoon, a KinderUni lecture started in the Reinoldikirche, where the life story of the church was explored with Prof. Barbara Welzel.

Musical entertainment was provided, among others, by the TU Dortmund music ensemble "Hava Nice Day" on Friedensplatz.
