The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by the bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and DSW21 also offers an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

Energy and Environmental Management Project Office fully staffed

Sustainable and Efficient Energy Use at TU Dortmund University

The picture shows the Campus of TU Dortmund University from above.

The Energy and Environmental Management Project Office, newly established in 2026, is beginning its work by implementing an energy management system for TU Dortmund University.

TU Dortmund University is a major energy consumer, requiring as much electricity and heat as several thousand single-family homes. It is the shared responsibility of all members of the university to keep energy consumption low. To systematically manage and sustainably reduce energy consumption, an energy management system based on the international standard ISO 50001 is currently being implemented. The goal of this system is to transparently track energy consumption and, based on this data, develop and implement targeted measures to increase energy efficiency.

To coordinate these tasks, the Energy and Environmental Management Project Office was established in early 2026. It is overseeing the implementation of the energy management system, assisting with the collection and analysis of energy-related data, and will work closely with central administrative units, departments, and other stakeholders at the university. A key objective of the project office is to further integrate energy and environmental issues into the university’s day-to-day operations. In addition to analyzing technical and organizational potential, this includes engaging with the university community regarding measures, developments, and opportunities for participation.

With the filling of the positions of energy manager and building automation technician as of June 1, 2026, the project office is now fully staffed and can begin its work in earnest. In the future, updates on the project’s progress will be posted on the Sustainability Office’s website.
