Dortberghaus

The Dortberghaus is a landmarked office building in downtown Dortmund, built in 1937 and 1938 to designs by the architect Emil Rudolf Mewes. Originally conceived for the Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG, it was never finished in its planned U-shape because of World War II. The building is named after the Dortmunder Bergbau AG, which emerged from the local group in 1953. After serving as the city's building regulations and land registry office, the building has housed a hotel since April 2022. Part of the Route of Industrial Heritage, it stands right next to the main train station, south of the Katharinentreppe steps and behind the city and state library.
