Dorstfeld

Green expanses cover much of this pastoral suburb, where you’ll find a market, a huge climbing wall and an interactive museum about work.

Dorstfeld is a suburban quarter of Dortmund with a long and rich history. Its two churches provide religious activity for the Catholic and Protestant locals, while a former coal mine offers a window into the district’s industrial past. Admire the rows of charming half-timbered buildings overlooking its central streets.

For a sense of local culture, attend the weekly market on the Wilhelmplatz in the heart of the quarter. Browse the stalls and purchase a range of fresh products on Friday mornings.

One of the main attractions in the neighborhood is the DASA Working World Exhibition. Learn about different kinds of work, past and present, and look to the future in the museum’s intriguing exhibits. Use the interactive displays and multimedia guides for further context. Bring your kids to the children’s building site.

Notice some of the architectural highlights lining the streets as you walk around this tranquil zone. Admire the elegant design of the 19th-century Schulte-Witten House. Inside is a vast library. The building has an impressive clock tower and a glockenspiel that plays melodies several times daily.

The region is also known for its sport facilities, with the Westbad indoor swimming pool and the adjacent Bezirkssportanlage Bummelberg soccer field. Take your family to the Kletterturm Dorstfeld climbing wall that stands tall in a park. On a sunny day, stroll along the banks of the Emscher stream, an idyllic picnic spot.

Dorstfeld district is in the Innenstadt-West region that occupies the southwestern corner of Dortmund. Get to the Dortmund-Dorstfeld or Dortmund-Dorstfeld Süd stations via the S-Bahn system. You can also take a bus to a nearby stop or the U-Bahn to the Dorstfeld Betriebshof station. Visit surrounding areas such as Tremonia, Barop and Wischlingen, which is known for its leisure park with pool, spa, sauna and ice rink.
