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.
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.
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.
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.

What? It still works! - Upcycling & “Life Extension”
If your favourite jeans are frayed, a buckle is missing from your backpack or a plastic bar has broken off your cake box – is it all just waste? Instead of throwing your "old treasures" in the bin, you can give them a longer or even a second, new life at HyLeC with a little imagination and motivation. We will support you in your endeavours (just bring them with you) and will prepare one or two creative upcycling projects for you to try out. Come along and see what upcycling ideas there are for jam jars and waste paper, for example.
(Please understand that we will not be repairing any electrical or electronic devices at the upcycling event on 11th of June).
