    Hi Sonja, I'm going to Dortmund tomorrow, so I've just taken another look at some of your tips to see what there is to do and see there. It will be interesting to see if they have found any new use for that big U-building and for their industrial ruins. (I have opera tickets for both evenings but will try to rent a bicycle and see some other things during the days.)

    I do not know if we ever get to this area-so thanks for the sites and the wonderful old town hall pictures.

    Great Dortmund travel page with lovely photographs. Dortmund certainly attracts us quite a lot especially Hohensyburg ruins, Florian Tower, the Town Hall and Peace Square. We hope to visit Dortmund one day. ~ho & pang
