The biggest city in the Ruhr Area also convinces with a wide range of possibilities in the cultural and sporting sector, with extensive greens and a high quality of life. Also Dortmund is known as an innovative location for technological development. Counting nearly 600,000 inhabitants Dortmund continues growing. The ancient main trading route "Hellweg" goes right through the city centre. Dortmund is one of the biggest cities in the Federal Republic of Germany and the economic and cultural centre of Westphalia. The city was founded by the name "Throtmani" around the year 880. Later called "Dorpmunde" throughout the Middle Ages being one the most important and richest of the hanseatic League for quite a time.
