From the free and Hanseatic city to and industrial metropolis

Dortmund, the biggest city in the Ruhr region, is the economic and trade powerhouse of Westphalia. Once an important free and Hanseatic city, it is today developing from an industrial metropolis to an important centre for services and technology. Due to this structural change, Dortmund is no longer so well-known for steel, coal and beer, but is now a prime location for the insurance and retail industries. The Reinoldi church, the Dortmund U and the Florianturm are the city’s landmarks. The local football club, Borussia Dortmund (BVB), has been nationally and internationally successful for decades.

Dortmund as an important economic location

Thanks to the structural change, Dortmund has seen a dramatic development over the years. The city has become an important economic and technology location for many different sectors in the heart of Europe; for instance, information technology, micro and nano technology, logistics, biomedicine and robotics. Dortmund is also an important traffic hub in the eastern Ruhr area and the urban centre for the rurally characterised eastern hinterland (Märkischer Kreis, Sauerland/Hochsauerland).
