The Ruhr gives Dortmund its geographic framework — the river traces the city’s southern edge, while its districts extend north across the Ruhr industrial region. Long associated with coal mining and steelmaking, Dortmund has reshaped much of that legacy into a contemporary urban identity. The Dortmund U, the tower of the former Union Brewery, now houses cultural institutions and exhibition spaces. Signal Iduna Park, home to Borussia Dortmund, is among Germany’s most recognisable football stadiums. Parks, canals and repurposed industrial sites broaden the city’s character beyond the centre.
