For some time now, a “New Dortmund” has risen from the center of Ruhr Metropolis, which became the giant that it is today on the back of steel, coal, and beer. The city and its people find themselves in the middle of a transition characterized by reflection on tradition and the courage to embrace innovation.
The city portrait at www.dortmund.de presents the historical roots and international direction of our city, as well as the most important numbers and facts, while portraying Dortmund’s many facets in word and image. Browse through our photo gallery, allow us to captivate you with images from our live webcam, and experience the 360° panorama of the new Dortmund, a city with style and perspective.
