Events

There's no chance of boredom with a motto like "work hard and play hard". The truth is that Dortmund people do not need an excuse to enjoy themselves because there is always something happening somewhere.

Whether you are looking for a classical concert, a marathon, theatre, techno music-party or chess tournament there is something for every taste every time.
