Dortmund U

The Dortmunder U is a striking landmark in the heart of the city and an exciting place for those interested in modern art, urban life, and industrial culture. As former fermentation and storage cellar of the Union Brewery, the building has been extensively redesigned and is now a center for culture and creativity. On a convertible tour through North Rhine-Westphalia, the Dortmunder U offers a fascinating stop that perfectly combines history and the present.

Reinterpreting Industrial Culture – with a View over Dortmund

Visible from afar, the golden "U" on the roof catches the eye – it is the symbol of the Dortmunder U and a reminder of the city’s former brewing tradition. Today, the building houses the Museum Ostwall, exhibition spaces, event rooms, and UZWEI, a creative platform for digital art.

The Dortmunder U is a central point on the Route of Industrial Culture and exemplifies how former industrial buildings can gain new cultural significance. The mix of listed industrial architecture and modern elements makes the building an exciting destination for architecture enthusiasts, art lovers – and for convertible drivers who enjoy discovering locations with character.

The Perfect Convertible Route Through Dortmund's West

The drive to the Dortmunder U integrates excellently into a convertible route through the western Ruhr area. Particularly worthwhile is the stretch along the Rhein-Herne Canal or through the green surroundings around Castrop-Rauxel and Herne. These sections are ideal as a relaxed convertible route that combines industrial history and nature.

The U is also a perfect starting point for an urban convertible road trip that takes you through other exciting neighborhoods – such as the Westfalenpark, Phoenix Lake, or the Zollern Colliery. Those looking to explore the Ruhr area on their own will find excellent conditions for a varied convertible journey here.

Between Brick and Digital Art – a Highlight on Every Tour

The Dortmunder U is more than just a museum: It is a vibrant place full of impulses that fills old structures with new energy. On your convertible tour through NRW, the building offers not only pure culture but also a great view over the rooftops of the city – a moment to enjoy and take a breath before continuing on your exciting convertible journey.
