About this class
On this special city tour, you will discover Dortmund's industrial past — where chimneys once smoked, machines hammered and people worked in shifts. Experience how coal, steel and beer shaped the face of an entire region.
You will learn exciting anecdotes from the world of coal mines and metallurgy: from the risky tasks of weathermen underground to the hard work in the blast furnaces of the Dortmund steel industry.
But Dortmund has changed — step by step, with a lot of strength and creativity. Where industrial plants once dominated, today modern logistics centers, technology parks and digital innovation locations shape the image of the city.
Of course, there is also plenty of pleasure: At places with beer historical significance, we invite you to try a regional beer — just as our buddies once did after work.
MEETING POINT:
Dortmunder U | Leonie-Reygers-Terrasse | 44137 Dortmund
What you’ll do in the class
