Dortmund: diverse, unique, lively

Welcome to Dortmund! Its modern face is one of economic renewal and new technologies. Before its metamorphosis, Dortmund revolved around coal, steel and beer. And before that, it was one of the wealthiest and most important Hanseatic cities. The legacies and names of old merchant families like Klepping, Berswordt and Sudermann linger on in the city centre. Past and present sit side by side – especially at Dortmund’s industrial heritage sites. The magnificent Zollern colliery is now an industrial museum, while the PHOENIX Lake invites you to take a stroll on the site of a former steelworks. Talking of strolling: With an abundance of parks and woodlands, Dortmund is one of Europe’s greenest cities! And talking of Europe: We have our own airport and enjoy excellent connectivity by land and air. #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #celebratewithtrip
