Location & approach

By car

The TU Dortmund campus is located near the Dortmund West interchange, where the A45 Sauerland line crosses the B1/A40 Ruhr expressway. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. Coming from the A45, you can turn onto Stockumer Straße via Universitätsstraße. This in turn is connected to Baroper Straße, along which Campus South extends. If you take the exit of the A-40, the route via Emil-Figge Straße, Marie-Curie Allee to Baroper Straße makes sense. If you turn from Baroper Straße into August-Schmidt Straße, you have the possibility to reach the parking lot directly behind the GB III.

By bus and train

The South Campus is connected via Stockumerstraße by bus lines 440 and 449, which run every 10 minutes. Campus South can be reached on foot from the Am Gardenkamp stop, and the Eichlinghofen H-Bahn station is also located near the Eichlinghofen stop. The bus lines connect to the U42 light rail line at the Barop Parkhaus stop, which provides connections to the Dortmund-Hombruch district and Dortmund downtown.

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System)

From Dortmund-Eichlinghofen, the South Campus is connected to the H-Bahn network via the Eichlinghofen H-Bahn station. Line 1 runs here every 10 minutes, and the South Campus is served by the Campus Süd stop.
A connection to Campus North is also provided via the H-Bahn. Line 2 shuttles between Campus North and Campus South every 5 minutes.

By plane

The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.

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”.

ICOLMA - Projectupdate

04/20/2023

Adjacent informal settlement in Philippi, one of the largest townships in Cape Town

The research project ICOLMA (Impact of COVID-19 on livelihoods, mobility and accessibility of marginalised groups) examines and compares the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mobility, accessibility, and livelihoods of marginalised groups in the Ruhr region (Germany), Cape Town (South Africa) and São Paulo (Brazil). The team of researchers from IRPUD (Tanja Schnittfinke und Dr. Wolfgang Scholz) and IPS (Prof. Dr. Sophie Schramm und Dorcas Nthoki Nyamai) at TU Dortmund University travelled to Cape Town for two weeks of fieldwork and a consortium workshop with colleagues from the University of Cape Town (UCT), the University of Western Cape (UWC), and Universidade Federal do ABC. They were accompanied by this year's advanced students project, supervised by the researchers, in which Bachelor's students work on a related question for two semesters.

Interviews with experts and discussions with researchers from UCT deepened the understanding of how life in Cape Town changed during the pandemic and the effects that can still be seen today. They gave new insights on the challenges that exist to counteract the effects of the pandemic through resilient urban development. The two-day workshop provided a good opportunity to present the progress of the individual partners' work and discuss the further course of research. With the participation of the student project F03, the results of the pre-test of the joint household survey in Dortmund and Cape Town were discussed. The aim is to understand the changing role of mobility in times of pandemic on the livelihoods of marginalised groups and the role of virtual access. Now that a final version of the survey has been agreed upon, discussions with target groups will take place over the next few weeks.

Based on these, measures for equitable accessibility of services will be recommended to support and improve the resilience of marginalised groups in case of a future pandemic or disruption. These measures will be discussed and disseminated by the research team with a broader audience.
