Location & approach

By Car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By Airplane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund's main train station, and from there, the S-Bahn takes you to the university. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

From March 4 to 6, 2026, the annual conference of the DECHEMA/VDI Crystallization and Drying Technology Divisions took place in Frankfurt. The crystallization group participated with 5 presentations.

In the opening plenary session, Marc Meier gave a a presentation about "The Interplay of Washing and Drying within the Modular Continuous Vacuum Screw Filter (CVSF) for High-Purity, Free-Flowing Particles" as part of the Drying Technology Working Group.

As part of the Crystallization Working Group, Henrik Bettin presented his results about „Implementation of Continuous Reliable Antisolvent Nucleation in an Archimedes Tube Crystallizer“. Maximilian Kattner discussed with the participants about his results about „Implementation of Model Predictive Control to Continuous Slug Flow Crystallization“. In the context of Suspension Melt Crystallization, Lutz Gerkensmeier gave talk about "Wash front sharpness as a key performance indicator of a wash column in the suspension melt crystallization process" and Jonas Brodmann about "Validation of a Control Model for a Mechanical Wash Column in Suspension Melt Crystallization". Finally, Lukas Seppelfricke presented his results concerning „Towards sustainable and robust production of highly pure bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) crystals“.

Lutz received the lecture award at the Crystallization Working Group meeting. Congratulations!
