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 bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line 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 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

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, it takes just over 20 minutes to get to Dortmund Central Station by AirportExpress 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.

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".

BMBF ErUM: Funding for the IceCube, CTA, and D-MeerKAT projects at the Department of Physics

Picture of the IceCube laboratory at night — With the ErUM funding programme, it is possible to continue working on the IceCube experiment, among other things.

Modern basic research in physics often requires the use of large equipment, experiments and telescopes that can only be set up and operated in international cooperation. This also, and especially, applies to astro- and astroparticle physics. The research groups led by Prof. Dr. Dr. Wolfgang Rhode and PD Dr. Dominik Elsässer at the Department of Physics are investigating the neutrino sky with the IceCube South Pole experiment, cosmic gamma ray sources with the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), and are conducting radio astronomy in the D-MeerKAT-III project. The BMBF's framework programme "Exploration of Universe and Matter ErUM" is an indispensable pillar for the participation of university working groups in such large-scale projects. For the three-year funding period starting on 01.07.2023, Wolfgang Rhode (IceCube) and Dominik Elsässer (CTA, D-MeerKAT-III) were able to collectively acquire over one million euros in funding from ErUM. These funds will play a central role in ensuring that researchers and students at our department can continue to play a direct role in opening new windows into the universe.
