Church
St. Reinold's Church, also known as Reinoldikirche, is a Romanesque Lutheran church located in Dortmund, Germany. Its construction began in the 13th century and was completed in 1454. The church features a Gothic choir and a Baroque-style tower that rises over Willy-Brandt-Platz at the city's geographical center.
Worthwhile place to visit, especially if you are in any town in Germany, they have lots of old churches and buildings that are well preserved. The architecture from outside and inside are just as impressive, so if you have the time, why not go inside and take pics, vids, panoramas, etc. unfortunately, I did not have the time to go inside to take pics.

Pretty nice but overrated church in Dortmund's center. It isn't that huge or well ornamented but it is still a sight you must see in the city. There are pretty cool shops and restaurants around it. You can enter for free but inside St. Reinhold's Church it is even less impressive.
The concert here was quite good, however apart from that, nothing interesting.
Not as special as other churches in Germany. But Dortmund was just so boring that this became an attraction
Beautiful church located in the city centre of Dortmund. A must visit if you want to escape the city hustle.
A quiet place in the busy city center.
It is a very nice city center with good food stalls. Best time to visit is during winter or Christmas season. Along with the church there are many other things to see and visit. Eg: bars, food stalls, restaurants, bubble tea & churros shops etc.
Climbing the bell tower is a cherished memory.

Cultural center
The cultural center, located in a former brewery in Dortmund, is crowned with a massive U-shaped structure that offers creative exhibits and events. The building features impressive 3D projections, including one on the U logo that showcases flowing water and fish. The open outdoor space attracts many visitors seeking fresh air after quarantine. Inside, there are plenty of activities to explore and stay updated on the latest trends in the 3D realm.
I got to attend an outdoor concert on a Sunday evening: I was pleasantly surprised at how good the bands were! The observation tower was open and free! Took the lift and it was not crowded and had great views right under the U.

The entrance was free. There were closets to store backpacks and jackets without any cost.
There were exhibition and museum for visiting. Also there is a rooftop to access a nice view of the city. The staff were nice.
There was also a cinema on the ground floor which I didn't visit but I think only for that you need a ticket.
A unique cultural landmark in Dortmund. The architecture is striking, and the exhibitions are often interesting. Worth a short visit if you’re in the area.
It hosts more expositions and it is free entrance. Depending on when you arrive there will be different things, but the building is amazingly created and it hosts these expositions very well.
You also have access to the roof and can see the whole city.
Definetly worths the time! I've spend 2h inside.
Brilliant building that has so many floors. The time we visited it was too late to visit all the floors so we went to the rooftop which was breathtaking during sunset. Look at the photos attached! Highly recommended to visit for leisure or to learn about industrial and urban planning stuff.
A few highlights:
Rooftop restaurant and terrace. On the day of Kulturmeile, the roof terrace was open to the public. I don’t know if it usually is.
Museums of various themes on different floors.
Fun industrial designs at every turn.
The locker area provides a jar of chips if you don’t have coins to operate the locks. How very considerate.
Just a few minutes of walk from the central station. The location is great.
The cinema, called Kino im U, has unique and alternative screenings, especially for kids and for those interested in a broader international offerings. Worth keeping an eye on its program.
Pretty nice building with an overview of Dortmund! It is free to access and on the 7-th floor you can enjoy a picturesque view over the city. There is also a cafe. On the other levels there is an art exhibition which you can also see but it isn't anything special. You can take the elevator or use the escalator.
This place is definitely a must if you're visiting Dortmund. Once a famous brewery, this building from the 1920s has not only survived the massive bombing campaign of WWII, but also the sands of time. After the brewery closed, this landmark was reinvented and revamped to become an art galley, music club, bar and restaurant - there's always something going on here. Even if you just take the journey up to the rooftop terrace to take in the stunning views of the city and beyond, you will not be disappointed 😁

The Catholic Parish of St. Johannes Baptist in Dortmund, Germany, is a remarkable church that dates back 700 years. Although it suffered damage during World War 2, the building was restored and renovated until 1966. With its late-Gothic altar and picturesque setting, this stone church is truly outstanding. The parish itself is known for its dedicated clergy and holds great historical significance. It serves as a peaceful and divine place for worship in the heart of the city.
Cozy looking church. Sadly didn't have time to visit it.

Old and Divine. Peaceful place.
Beautiful 700 year old church in the middle of the city.
Outstanding church. Nice parish. Dedicated clergy. Historic as well
Thank you for the refuge.
Johannes is my classmate tho
Good church
Very massive and nice church.
(Translated by Google) The church itself is very beautiful, but not unnecessarily extravagant. I met some nice, friendly Christians there, whom I will always remember.
The one drawback, though not the church's fault, is that there are too many beggars and homeless people who come into the church to spend time.
(Original)
Die Kirche an sich sehr schön aber auch nicht unnötig extravagant. In dieser Kirche habe ich einige nette freundliche Christen kennengelernt, die ich immer in Erinnerung haben werde.
Der eine Manko, was allerdings nicht an der Kirche selbst liegt, ist dass es zu viele Bettler und Obdachlose gibt, die in die Kirche hereinkommen um Zeit zu verbringen.

Protestant church
St. Mary's Church, located at the eastern end of Westenhellweg in Dortmund's Innenstadt, is a historic Lutheran church that showcases a unique blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. It stands as the oldest church in the city center, with its initial construction dating back to the 1100s. The later additions during the 14th century incorporated notable Gothic elements into its structure.
Beautiful and peaceful old church to find quiet in the middle of the city.
There was a free and very friendly guide to answer questions.

Very nice and elegant gothic architecture
Beautiful architecture from the old world in the midst of post WWII buildings.

DOV:19Mar2017 Sankt-Marien-Kirche is a historic church in the middle of Dortmund city. There are plenty of good options for an afternoon walk from here including Europabrunnen (very close) and you have plenty of restaurants too.
Cool church. Most of the time is closed due to covid, but it's still possible to get inside with a mask during specific times
Very beautiful church

Dortmund is a vibrant city in Germany known for its thrilling football matches, such as the one between Dortmund and Bayern Munich. The city offers an authentic German football experience that attracts sports enthusiasts from around the world. With its lively atmosphere and passionate fans, attending a match in Dortmund is an unforgettable experience for any football fan.
Dortmund Central Station is convenient but can get crowded.
It serves as a major transport hub with good connections to other cities in Germany. Both regional and long-distance trains (ICE, IC) run frequently. Inside the station, there are plenty of fast food places, bakeries, and coffee shops, so you won’t go hungry.
However, during peak hours, the platforms and corridors can become very crowded. Some areas feel a bit outdated, and the signage might be confusing for first-time visitors. Occasionally, there are some suspicious people near the entrances, so it’s best to stay alert.
Overall, it’s a functional station for travel, but not the most comfortable one in Germany.
Nazarii P — Google review
This is a decent station - relatively new and well arranged. McDonald’s and KFC to the front and only a short walk into the city centre.
The area in front of the station is/can be very lively, with many drunks and beggars hanging around, panhandling and calling out. Not one to arrive at late in the evening.
Conveniently located for a number of local hotels, there is also a taxi rank.
Decent station let down by the general state of DB these days, with large numbers of trains running late and cancelled. You are well advised to check constantly on your train before arrival, as cancellations can be swift and final. Arrival journey spoilt by forced change to a tiny commuter train at a place called Hagen - very small train with many people. Good natured but not nice.
Very big station with connections to every where, North- South and East-West S-Bahn are on different levels underground. Multiple rails and trains ever 2 to 3 mins. Some shops near the gate as well as info center. The station is itself a small walk insides. Lifts for disabled for every platform. Everything is clean and in working order showing a perfect German engineering attitude. Excellent work.
It is good, but everything passengers have to do alone, there are machines to buy tickets..
Small and easy to navigate. There are essential travel services at your disposal (food, electronics, etc.). You are centrally located within dortmund, however must drag luggage up horrible stairs across the street to the city or carry them. Not very accessible. And if accessible routes were available, I did not see them. (I do speak German)
The people working here are great. I lost my bag on a train and called this station to ask if they could check the train out when it arrives (this was the final stop of said train) and they actually did that. Naturally someone had either reported the bag at an earlier station or (more likely) stolen it, but the fact that these guys actually went out of their way to help me out like that is very much appreciated. They also heard me out, kept me informed and overall were very friendly, understanding and helpful.
Cold as ice windy place, sad and depressing with paid toilet. Barely provides place to wait. For international travellers it's highly unfriendly. Many junkies and hobos.
Typical railway station with easy navigation. But it seemed to be a little bit more dirty in comparison with Bremen and Hannover stations.
Like in many German railway stations, inside there are many Ritter Sport ads.
Just near the entrance to the station, there is a stop of the AirportExpress bus.

Evangelical church
Church
The St. Petri Church in Dortmund is an ideal location for self-reflection and healing amidst the bustling city. This 14th-century church has been reconstructed twice after being destroyed. The serene and peaceful atmosphere inside provides a stark contrast to the nearby busy shopping centers. It serves as a perfect spot to connect with God. By visiting the church's website, you can stay updated on its latest programs and events.
The pictures don’t really do this place justice. It’s a nice place for reflection during a busy day of shopping and sightseeing.
Chris V — Google review
Closed till august, from outside it looks decent.
Simple elegant towering structure of church. Well kept area. Excellent place to go in evening as there are many doner shops around and a medium sozed open area on both sides. Twice wanted to go in but it was closed due to pandemic. The doors have beautiful ornation but simple yet reminding.
Beautiful church with an impressive organ and interesting windows, and you are able to simply walk in anytime
If you want some self meditation and healing in the middle of a hustling dortmund city then is the best place... This church was constructed during 14th century and twice destroyed since its construction. Its so silent and calm inside the church though its situated near the busy shopping centres... Best place to have a chat with our Almighty God. If you go the website of the church you can check latest programs happening in church
A nice church, quite modern from inside.
Rich History. Exquisite.
Amazing!

Parish
Polnische Kath. Mission St. Anna is more than just a church; it embodies a vibrant Christian community that offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere for worshippers, especially those who speak Polish. The church hosts multiple services throughout the week, including evenings and Sundays, making it accessible for many. Visitors often praise its rich spiritual offerings and sense of belonging that can be hard to find elsewhere.
It's a comfortable place to pray

(Translated by Google) If you speak Polish, the church and the services are very rich and definitely worth a visit!
BUT be careful!
Anyone who wants to park in the parking lot to the right of the church is violating the parking space manager's terms and conditions outside of business hours and by not DISPLAYING the parking disc and will be fined €30.
It doesn't matter whether it's Sunday or night or or or.
Can be read on the Lolay Parking Dortmund Google Maps page.

Die Kirche und die Gottesdienste sind, wenn man der polnischen Sprache mächtig ist, sehr Gehaltvoll und definitiv einen Besuch wert!

Wer auf dem Parkplatz rechts neben der Kirche parken will, verstößt ausserhalb der Geschäftszeiten und mit nichtAUSLEGEN der PARKSCHEIBE gegen die AGB des Parkraumbewirtschafters und wird für 30€ herangezogen.
Dabei ist es egal ob es Sonntags oder Nachts oder oder oder ist.

(Translated by Google) On Saturday I was very disappointed with the blessing of food. At 12.00, there was a crowd of believers, unfortunately, having such an opportunity, the priest did not bother to go through the middle and sprinkle food in the middle rows and at the end of the church, but only at the beginning at the altar. But the priests reached the exit door for the offering, which was sad.
(Original)
W sobotę bardzo rozczarowałam się poświęceniem pokarmów. O godzinie 12.00, był tłum wiernych, niestety mając taką możliwość ksiądz nie raczył przejść środkiem i pokropić pokarmy w środkowych rzędach i na końcu kościoła, tylko na początku przy ołtarzu. Ale po ofiarę księża dotarli aż do drzwi wyjściowych, przykre.

Catholic church
Nestled in the heart of Dortmund's western city center, St. Suitbertus is a charming church that may appear unassuming from the outside, having been constructed in 1922. However, stepping inside reveals its true beauty—a stunning interior adorned with intricate leaded windows and rich symbolism that narrates biblical stories through bronze decorative elements. This vibrant community also hosts a delightful Spanish mass every Sunday at noon, making it a welcoming space for worshippers.
(Translated by Google) The Suitbertuskirche in the western city center of Dortmund was built in 1922 and gives the external impression of a simply built church. However, the jewel only becomes apparent when you enter the church: a beautifully designed interior with leaded windows, lots of symbolism and Bible history, which can also be found in the bronze decorative objects. The church organ of the Suitbertuskirche is particularly noteworthy; it was built in 1991, has a romantic movement, 3 manuals (without pedal) and more than 30 sounding registers.
The community houses the Catholic Spanish-speaking mission. The Annakirche on Rheinische Straße is a branch church and houses the Catholic Polish community in the Dortmund catchment area.
(Original)
Die Suitbertuskirche in der westlichen Innenstadt von Dortmund wurde 1922 erbaut und erweckt äußerlich den Eindruck einer schlicht erbauten Kirche. Das Juwel zeigt sich allerdings erst bei Betreten der Kirche: ein bildhaft gestalteter Innenraum mit bleiverglasten Fenstern, viel Symbolik und Bibelgeschichte, die sich auch in den bronzenen Kustgegenständen wiederfindet. Die Kirchenorgel der Suitbertuskirche ist besonders hervorzuheben, sie ist 1991 erbaut, hat ein romantisches Werk, 3 Manuale (ohne Pedal) und mehr als 30 klingende Register.
Die Gemeinde beherbergt die katholische spanisch-sprechende Mission. Die Annakirche an der Rheinischen Straße ist Filialkirche und beherbergt die Kath. Polnische Gemeinde im Einzugsgebiet Dortmund.

Visitors are often captivated by the exquisite glass art and the warm, inviting atmosphere that envelops the space. The community here is known for its friendliness and warmth, making it a welcoming place for all who enter.
(Translated by Google) A very nice evening with choral singing by the Tonpfade, the Quer Beet children's choir and the young vocalists.

(Translated by Google) Who was at the youth camp in July 1990 with the then pastor in a knight's castle (I can't remember the name) in Tyrol via St. Nikolai Dortmund? I'm looking for people from back then, among other things. Lars! LG Nicole

(Original)
Beeindruckendes Gebäude und vor allem eine tolle und lebendige Gemeinde!
(Translated by Google) A church that looks very inconspicuous from the outside and reveals its true beauty from the inside. Very great glass art and an impressive and engaging atmosphere.
(Original)
Eine Kirche welche von Aussen sehr unscheinbar wirkt und von innen ihre wahre Schönheit offenbart. Sehr tolle Glaskunst und eine beeindruckende und einnehmende Atmosphäre.
(Translated by Google) A really nice Christmas service.
The pastor is young and dynamic, which is reflected in his sermon
(Original)
Ein richtig schöner Weihnachtsgottesdienst .
Der Pfarrer ist jung und dynamisch, was sich in seiner Predigt widerspiegelt

The Romanesque church adjacent to the remains was consecrated in the 8th century and, similar to the fortress, attained its final shape during the 1100s. Prior to entering, it is necessary to explore the cemetery for a period of time since it houses the oldest tombstones in Westphalia. Among them are two from either the 8th or 9th centuries, with an additional one located within the church itself.
Beautiful church!
Marian D — Google review
(Translated by Google) A really atmospheric place. You can feel the age. Everything is very well maintained and clean.
Unfortunately I couldn't get into the church.
It's a very small area now and very densely built up around it. That robs something of something special. Nevertheless, it invites you to sit down and reflect.
If you have time.
Bench available 😊.
(Original)
Ein wirklich stimmungsvoller Ort. Man kann das Alter fühlen. Es ist Alles sehr gepflegt und sauber.
Leider konnte ich nicht in die Kirche hinein.
Es ist ein sehr kleiner Bereich inzwischen und rund herum sehr eng bebaut. Das raubt etwas das Besondere. Trotzdem lädt es zum Setzen und Besinnen ein.
Wenn man Zeit hat.
Bank vorhanden 😊.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful old churches surrounded by very old gravestones.
Unfortunately not open.
(Original)
Schöne alte Kirchen umringt von sehr alten Grabsteinen.
Leider nicht offen.
(Translated by Google) The oldest and most beautiful church in Dortmund. Unfortunately, this Romanesque building can only rarely be visited. The “Syburger Sonntagsmusik” takes place there every two months at 5 p.m.: unusual, top-class concerts of classical music in mostly small ensembles.
(Original)
Die älteste und schönste Kirche in Dortmund. Leider kann man dieses romanische Bauwerk nur selten besichtigen. Alle 2 Monate findet dort um 17.00 Uhr die "Syburger Sonntagsmusik" statt: Ungewöhnliche, hochkarätige Konzerte klassischer Musik in meist kleiner Besetzung.
(Translated by Google) Very interesting church with the graves, some of which are 500 years old. Unfortunately the church was closed. But hey, a reason to go back 😎👍 worth a visit.
(Original)
Sehr interessante Kirche mit den Gräbern die teils 500 Jahre alt sind. Leider war die Kirche geschlossen. Aber hey ein Grund wieder hinzufahren 😎👍 ein Besuch wert.
(Translated by Google) A really beautiful church with a warm view
(Original)
Eine wirklich schöne Kirche mit herzlicher Aussicht
(Translated by Google) Nice and small.
Go up into the tower.
There's always some organ playing 🎶
(Original)
Schön und klein.
Geht nach oben in den Turm.
Es läuft immer etwas Orgel 🎶
(Translated by Google) An absolute treasure. Hidden away next to or behind the casino parking lot. In the cemetery surrounding the church, you'll find many gravestones that are 500 years old. Some are currently being restored. Inside the church, there are gravestones that are even older, and a 1,000-year-old baptismal font.
(Original)
Ein absoluter Schatz. Ganz im verborgenen neben bzw hinter dem Parkplatz des Spielkasinos gelegen. Auf dem Friedhof um die Kirche herum findet man viele Grabsteine die 500 Jahre alt sind. Einige werden zzt restauriert. In der Kirche Grabplatten die noch wesentlich älter sind und ein 1000 Jahre altes Taufbecken.

Catholic church
Katholische Kirche St. Remigius is a significant religious site where many people gather to worship and seek spiritual fulfillment. The church is known for its dedicated pastor who has earned high praise from visitors. However, there are concerns about the presence of homeless individuals around the church, which is an issue that needs attention. Despite this, the community values the church as a place where young members actively participate in religious activities such as serving as altar boys and girls.
(Translated by Google) I believe in all religions, but the most important thing for me is the satisfaction of God and then the satisfaction of my parents, but I have a note for you about the church: There are many people who relieve themselves outside the church, and many homeless people sleep next to it . Please pay attention to this issue.
(Original)
Ich glaube an alle Religionen, aber das Wichtigste für mich ist die Zufriedenheit Gottes und dann die Zufriedenheit meiner Eltern, aber ich habe eine Anmerkung für Sie zur Kirche: Es gibt viele Menschen, die außerhalb der Kirche ihre Notdurft verrichten, und Viele Obdachlose schlafen daneben. Bitte achten Sie auf dieses Problem.
Bawadikji J — Google review
(Translated by Google) It depends on which pastor is on duty at the moment. I think it's a shame that they don't do it for the younger generation anymore. Being so old-fashioned isn't always an advantage if you want to have a little more faith. Very unfortunate.
(Original)
Es kommt drauf an welcher Pfarrer gerade Dienst hat.Ich finde es schade das man es nicht mehr für die jüngere Generation macht .So altbacken ist nicht immer von Vorteil wenn man ein paar Gläube mehr haben möchte. Sehr Schade.
(Translated by Google) If I should talk about the building, fine. When it comes to talking to God, it's rather difficult. The pastor can only speak German very poorly. He speaks slurred and quietly. The assistant women there think they are something better and take all the work off the pastor's shoulders. If I want to attend a proper mass, I go to the Franciscan Church.
(Original)
Wenn ich über das Gebäude sprechen sollte,schön. Wenn es darum geht mit Gott zu sprechen, eher schwer. Der Pastor kann nur sehr schlecht deutsch sprechen. Er spricht undeutlich und leise. Die hilfsfrauen dort halten sich für etwas besseres und nehmen den Pastor alle Arbeit ab. Wenn ich eine ordentliche Messe besuchen möchte fahre ich zu Franziskanerkirche.
(Translated by Google) I think the church is great. Of my 5 girls, 3 are altar boys in the community and they think it's great.
(Original)
Ich finde die Kirche super von meinen 5 Mädels sind 3 Messdiener in der Gemeinde und sie finden es toll.
(Translated by Google) It's sad when you have to bury relatives and don't understand the pastor because he barely speaks German.
(Original)
Traurig wenn man Angehörige Beerdigen muss und den Pastor nicht versteht weil er kaum Deutsch spricht.
(Translated by Google) Nice priest
(Original)
Netter Pfarrer
(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, I only know the church from the outside, but the pastor of the church is really great, which makes me give it 5 well-deserved stars!
(Original)
Die Kirche selbst kenn ich leider nur von außen, jedoch ist der Pfarrer der Kirche echt super das veranlagt mich dazu 5 verdiente Sterne zu geben!
(Translated by Google) Nice venue, unfortunately there is no adequate parking nearby.
(Original)
Schöner Veranstaltungsort, leider gibt's hier keine adäquate Parkmöglichkeiten in der Nähe.
