Location & approach

By car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway 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 public transport

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 15 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 bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn (Suspended monorail system)

The H-Bahn 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.

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.

Plan of site & interactive map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent "Technologiepark".

Insights into the world of bioprocess engineering at the 2024 Open Day

11/19/2024

Model of a sewage treatment plant

The Chairs of Bioprocess Engineering and Technical Biochemistry presented a model of a wastewater treatment plant at TU Dortmund University's Open Day on November 9, 2024. The model, which simulates the processes in the activated sludge and secondary clarifier, i.e. the biological stage of wastewater treatment, met with great interest.

Ronja Weidemann used the biological stage of wastewater treatment to explain the background to her PhosFad research project. This biotechnological approach to phosphate recovery uses a filamentous bacterium that extracts phosphate from municipal wastewater, for example, and makes it available again for the circular economy after treatment. The visitors were able to observe the unusual size of the bacterium and its gliding movements through a microscope.

The laboratory tours, conducted by Jörg Fischer and Jan Graw, through the genetic engineering S2 facility, where the research work on some of the laboratory equipment was explained on the basis of projects carried out at the Chair of Technical Biochemistry, also met with great interest.
