Dortmund port / Westfalenhütte
Dortmund has evolved from a steel city into one of Germany's leading logistics centres. The port on the Dortmund-Ems Canal and the former Westfalenhütte steelworks offer trimodal locations and large contiguous sites in the heart of the Ruhr.
Location and access
The port lies north-west of the city centre on the Dortmund-Ems Canal, Westfalenhütte to the north-east. Via the A1, A2, A40, A45 and the B236, the Ruhr, Westphalia and the Sauerland are within quick reach. Container terminals connect ship, rail and truck.
Space profile
Modern logistics buildings for retailers and logistics providers have been developed on the former Westfalenhütte steelworks. The port is dominated by handling and storage land, alongside many existing buildings in the city's business parks.
What occupiers should consider
New space almost only emerges on brownfield land, which takes time for remediation and planning. For existing buildings, check clear height, dock ratio and yard space. Anyone planning trimodal operations should clarify port terminal capacity early.
