Museum sights in Dortmund

  1. Zollern II/IV Coal Mine

    The Zollern II/IV Coal Mine was considered a 'model mine' when operation began in 1902. It boasted state-of-the-art technology and fantastic architecture, including an art nouveau machine hall and a castle-like administration building adorned with gables and onion-domed towers. An innovative exhibit documents the harsh realities of life as a miner, with plenty of interactive and child-oriented programs. To get here, take the U47 from Hauptbahnhof to Dortmund-Huckarde Bushof, then bus 462 direction Dortmund-Marten to Industriemuseum Zollern.

  2. Dortmund Brewery Museum

    Given Dortmund's beer-brewing pedigree it would be a shame not to take this museum tour in the old Hansa Brewery, culminating with a generous beer tasting and souvenir glass. Learn about production, bottling and the brewing of Dortmund beers, which include the DAB label. True aficionados can also tour the working Dortmund Actien Brewery.
