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 exits to take from A 45 is “Dortmund-Eichlinghofen” (closer to South Campus), and from B 1 / A 40 “Dortmund-Dorstfeld” or “Dortmund-Barop” (both closer to North Campus). Signs to the university are located at all the exits.

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.

H-Bahn

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System) 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.

Plan of site & interactive 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".

Unter dem Motto „Welten verbinden – Zusammenhalt stärken“ fördert die Initiative „Deutschland – Land der Ideen“ der Bundesregierung und der Deutschen Bank AG beim Wettbewerb „Ausgezeichnete Orte im Land der Ideen“ 100 Projekte, die Leuchtturmcharakter für den Standort Deutschland besitzen. Die „Ingenieure ohne Grenzen Challenge“ (IoGC) der TU Dortmund hat sich im Wettbewerb mit 1.500 anderen Bewerbungen durchsetzen können und wurde als ein solches Projekt ausgezeichnet.

Bei der IoGC handelt es sich um ein innovatives Lehrformat aus dem vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung geförderten Verbund-Projekt ELLI 2 (Exzellentes Lehren und Lernen in den Ingenieurwissenschaften). Im Rahmen der Challenge arbeiten Studierende an realen Problemstellungen aus Entwicklungsregionen. Sie wenden dabei nicht nur ihr Wissen in einem kulturell sensiblen Umfeld an, sondern werden auch hinsichtlich einer nachhaltigen Technikgestaltung und ihrer sozialen Verantwortung sensibilisiert.

Erstmalige TU-Beteiligung an der Challenge

Zusammen mit Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. wird die IoGC seit 2013 an der RWTH Aachen University durchgeführt. Im Wintersemester 2017/18 fand sie unter Beteiligung der Ingenieurdidaktik und des Instituts für Umformtechnik und Leichtbau (IUL) der Fakultät Maschinenbau sowie des Zentrums für HochschulBildung (zhb) erstmalig auch an der TU Dortmund statt. Bei einer gemeinsamen Abschlussveranstaltung kamen Studierende beider Hochschulen in Dortmund zusammen, um die beste Idee zu küren.

Ein „ausgezeichneter Ort im Land der Ideen”

Im Rahmen einer feierlichen Veranstaltung in Berlin wurde am 4. Juni der Preis an die Verantwortlichen des Projekts Dr. Kathrin Schönefeld und Silke Frye verliehen. Der Juryvorsitzende Prof. Dr. Michael Hüther hob hervor, dass die ausgewählten Projekte eine hohe Signalwirkung für die deutsche Gesellschaft haben und maßgebliche Trends für die Zukunftsfähigkeit liefern.
