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, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund Central 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.

SCIENTIFIC ASSISTANT

M.A. David O'Neill

Profile

[Translate to English:]

Throughout my geography studies (B.A.) at the University of Wuppertal, I was mainly interested in the topics of urban and settlement geography. These were complemented by cartography studies (B.Sc.) at the Technological University Dublin and led to a specialization in urban development research (M.A.) at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Since then, I have been primarily concerned with the topics of conversion, renaturation and mobility, as well as the spatialisation mechanisms of urban subcultures.

Since February 2022, I've been working as a researcher at the Faculty of Spatial Planning. In this role, I am part of the transdisciplinary research group NEILA, which deals intensively with intercommunal cooperation and regional land management in the Bonn area. Also, I take care of content-related and administrative matters of the Kompetenzfeld Metropolenforschung (KoMet). As of next winter semester, I will also be teaching.
