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 construction site with a crane. — The owner, BLB NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia’s building and real estate management authority) anticipates a total building time of around three years.

Even in times of the coronavirus crisis, building work on the campus of TU Dortmund University continues: In a huge hole on Otto-Hahn-Strasse, the foundations are currently being cast for the new laboratory building of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. A six-floor building with floor space of about 3,300 m² will be erected here by the end of 2022.

The hole excavated for the laboratory building is up to 14 meters deep. The edge length is 55 meters and 25,000 m³ of soil have been removed. “Building work is proceeding on schedule so far, despite the coronavirus crisis,” reports Jürgen Palgen from the Department of Construction and Facility Management of TU Dortmund University. He is supervising the new building.

The laboratory building will house two large areas for practical work as well as research laboratories and offices for inorganic and organic chemistry on the main floor space of about 3,300 m². The height of the six-floor building and its brick facade mirror the neighboring replacement building for physics/chemistry, which the faculties moved into in 2015. The main entrance to the building is on Otto-Hahn-Strasse. There is also an entrance on the north side for staff and students coming from the existing chemistry/physics building.
