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 20 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 plane

From Dortmund Airport, it takes just over 20 minutes to get to Dortmund Central Station by AirportExpress and from there to the university by S-Bahn. 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.

Prof. Dr. Dietrich Wegener has been Professor Emeritus at TU Dortmund University since 2004.
He is currently researching at DESY in the field of the H1 experiment and is also active in teaching with Prof. Dr. Johannes Albrecht.

His research interests lie in accelerator and high-energy physics, in particular the weak interaction of heavy quarks and tau leptons, the fragmentation of quarks and leptons and the interactions of protons with protons and electrons.
He is also involved in the development of detectors, including space-resolved Cherenkov counters and time-of-flight counters, the further development of triggers and the fundamentals of the scintillation process.
In the field of medical physics, he is dedicated to the optimisation of dose distribution and the development of new dosimetry equipment.
He also investigates high-energy interactions of protons with nuclei in the context of nuclear physics.

He studied and obtained his doctorate in physics at the University of Göttingen before habilitating at the University of Karlrsruhe in 1972.
From 1973 to 1974 he was a research associate at CERN and from 1995 to 1997 he held a chair at the Institute for Experimental Nuclear Physics at the Technical University and the Nuclear Research Centre in Karlsruhe.
In 1977 he was appointed to a chair at the University of Dortmund.

During his active research period, he published more than 400 papers.
Among others, he was a member of the DESY Research Council several times, of the Science Council (1994 - 2000) and of several committees of the DPG and the EPS.

Further information on his person and his scientific career can be found in his Curriculum Vitae.
