by car
The campus of the Universität Dortmund is situated close to the motorway intersection Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A 45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B 1 / A 40. That's how the university is connected to the west with the motorway network of the Ruhr Area and beyond that to the regions of the Lower Rhine and the Netherlands. In the eastern direction the B 1 leads through Dortmund to Unna, where there is a connection with the motorways leading to Bremen, Hannover/Berlin and Kassel. In the north, the A 45 ends after a few kilometres at the A 2, leading to the Kamener Kreuz and in the other direction to Oberhausen. In the Westhofener Kreuz, south of the university, the A 45 crosses the A 2, leading to Bremen and Köln. The best motorway exit you find on the A 45 is "Dortmund-Eichlinghofen" (closer to the Campus Süd) and on the B 1 / A 40 "Dortmund-Dorstfeld" (closer to the Campus Nord). There are signs at both exits leading you to the university. The local road network is equipped with signs leading you to the Campus Nord and the Campus Süd. To get from Campus Nord to Campus Süd by car there is only a small winding road (Vogelpothsweg / Baroper Straße). Out of consideration for the residents the speed limit is 30 km/h. It is more advisable to leave the car on one of the car parks and use the H-Bahn (suspended monorail system) on the campus.
