Dortberghaus

Dortberghaus is a listed building in the Dortmund city center.

The Dortberghaus emerged in the years 1937-1938 after the plans of the Cologne architect Emil Rudolf Mewes as an administrative building of the Gelsenkirchen Mining-AG. The building is close to the Dortmund main train station.

The Gelsenkirchen mine-AG wrote in 1936 opened an architectural competition for the construction of the building; Emil Rudolf Mewes won. By the beginning of the Second World War it was planned as a U-shaped building but not fully completed.

After World War II, the building was constructed and used by the Dortmund City Council.

In 2004 the building was vacated by the City Council. There are plans to turn it into a luxury hotel.
