Borusseum

The Borusseum is the official club museum of Borussia Dortmund and documents the history of the soccer department since its founding in 1909. It is located in the northeast corner of Westfalenstadion, an area that had originally not yet been developed. The idea came from Olaf Suplicki, then head of the fan department, who criticized the unprotected storage of trophies in the VIP area. Because the club was struggling at the time to recover after a looming insolvency, fans financed the project through donations and a benefit CD. The museum was officially opened on December 19, 2009, the club's 99th birthday, and today offers visitors a look at the club's traditions and milestones.
