Freshman Party 2026

You can take the subway lines U43 and U44 to the Unionstraße or Westentor stop. From here it is a 5-minute walk to the FZW.

The FZW can be reached on foot from Dortmund main station in about ten minutes.

The FZW is very easy to reach by bike. Bicycle racks are located directly in front of the main entrance and in front of the vocational college on the opposite side of the street.

The nearest stations of the rental bike provider nextbike can be found at the Unionstraße stop and near the Westentor stop (Hoher Wall).

Note: To use the nextbike rental bikes, you must register with the provider Metropolrad Ruhr.

There are a few free parking spaces directly behind the FZW as well as on the adjacent streets Ritterstraße and Übergönne. The large parking lot at Übelgönne is partly chargeable. Please follow the corresponding instructions.

Please note that admission to our party is subject to an ID check. The Youth Protection Act also applies to our events. To ensure that all our guests can party with us until well after midnight, admission is only possible from the age of 18. Please have your ID ready at the entrance control. Thank you for your understanding!
