Embark on the Echoes of Dortmund: Landmarks of Legacy and Industry

Hidden in the heart of Dortmund, legends and lost voices linger beneath the city’s energetic pulse. Follow this self-guided audio tour to uncover secrets far beyond football and shopping—places where history vibrates behind everyday sights.

Why did resistance fighters vanish inside the forbidding walls of Dortmund’s Pr*son under cover of darkness? What radio scandal sent shockwaves through breakfast tables tuned to 91.2 MHz? Which railway worker once claimed to have seen something inexplicable atop the South Station water tower?

Step through eras scarred by occupation, reborn by artistry, and electrified by unexpected triumphs. Listen as echoes of guillotines, wild airwaves, and midnight engines guide you through avenues few dare to tread. Stories emerge where brick meets barbed wire and music fills city air.

Ready to tune into Dortmund’s deepest frequencies? Press play and dive below the surface—you’re standing at the edge where memory never truly sleeps.
