With a population of about 600,000, the largest city in the Ruhrgebiet has established itself as a popular place to live and do business in western Germany.
With excellent transportation links, the city offers quick access to the surrounding cities of Bochum and Essen, as well as to Düsseldorf and Cologne.
From the city’s own airport, many European cities are within easy reach. Dortmunders are passionate not only about soccer but also about the city’s diverse cultural offerings. The administrative, commercial, and cultural hub of the eastern Ruhrgebiet has evolved into a major center for services and technology and, following years of structural change, is now a hub for the insurance industry and retail sector. With over 50,000 students at six universities, Dortmund ranks among Germany’s ten largest university cities and is also a major center for science and high technology.
We at Landmarken have also been captivated by the city, whose transformation we are helping to drive forward through our own projects.
