    Tips

    The red gear is supposed to bridge the gap between the university and the Ruhr area industry: Reinold Künmann, head of the State Building Construction Office of the University of Dortmund, had the idea of bringing machine parts from old (disused) industrial plants to the campus as art objects. The red-painted gear wheel that can be found on Campus North in front of the physics building started in 1980.

      Since it was founded in 1968, the Technical University of Dortmund has been teaching and researching in the global field of tension between nature, people and technology. It gains its profile through the interaction of an ensemble of faculties in the natural and engineering sciences, social sciences as well as humanities and cultural studies. This structure drives advances in knowledge and methods as well as technical innovations. It also makes it possible to reflect on cultural change through technology in a special way.
