Location & approach

By car

The campus of the TU Dortmund University is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the A45 crosses the B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

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.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund main station and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Stahlbrücken ohne Vollsperrung instand setzen, ein privates 5G-Netz aufspannen oder die Lieferketten im Hinterland von Seehäfen optimieren – zum zweiten Mal hat die TU Dortmund den Dr. Michael Brenscheidt-Transferpreis an drei Forschungsprojekte mit erfolgreicher Anwendung in der Praxis verliehen. Die Auszeichnung fand am Donnerstag, den 29. Januar, im Rahmen des zehnten „Zukunftsdialogs“ statt, bei dem Dr. Christian Samulewicz von Materna an der Universität zu Gast war und die Erfolgsfaktoren der digitalen Transformation beleuchtete.
