Dortmund is Germany's 7th largest city with a total population of approximately 578.000.

Dortmund previously synonymous with coal, steel and the beer brewing tradition and soccer has changed its profile to a center of high technologies. The city is a very attractive business center due to its location in the center of Europe connected with a large port, major highway and rail connections and the airport.

The renovation of the Central Station has just started and should give a better first impression when coming to Dortmund.

"RUHR.2010" is the event of "Cultural Capital of Europe" with many events of music, art and creativity throughout the year 2010.
