About Dortmund

Dortmund is a former coal, steel and beer city in Germany's Ruhr region, rebuilt after heavy wartime bombing around football and green space. Borussia Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park gives it one of Europe's loudest match-day atmospheres, while the U-Tower arts centre and Westfalenpark mark its shift from heavy industry.
