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.

A portrait picture of a man in a suit, the man is Max Hansmann. — Max Hansmann has been a junior professor of organic chemistry at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at TU Dortmund University since 1 October 2019.

Max Hansmann, junior professor for organic chemistry at the Department for Chemistry and Chemical Biology at TU Dortmund University, has been awarded the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie Lecturer Prize. This is awarded to exceptionally qualified young scientists in chemistry and biological chemistry and comes with an endowment of 75,000 euros.

In his research, JProf. Hansmann deals with the modular synthesis and the characterization of new organic redox systems, which are tested as novel organic photocatalysts and anolyte materials in the field of energy storage (redox-flow and polymer batteries). The group also focuses on the synthesis of fundamental, organic compound classes.

Max Hansmann has been a junior professor at TU Dortmund University since 1 October 2019. Before that, he earned a doctoral degree in homogeneous gold catalysis from Heidelberg University on a scholarship from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation and then completed his postdoctoral studies as a Feodor-Lynen fellow at the University of California in San Diego, USA. In 2018, he founded an independent junior research group at the University of Göttingen.

About Fonds der Chemischen Industrie

As the funding arm of Verband der Chemischen Industrie (VCI), Fonds der Chemischen Industrie has been promoting chemistry education in schools, young scientists and basic research in chemistry and chemistry-related disciplines since 1950. The Lecturer Prize is awarded for outstanding achievements in research and teaching. Of the 75,000-euro endowment, a sum of 25,000 euros is set aside as prize money, with 50,000 euros going towards material and travel expenses.
