Vacation care
The vacation care at TU Dortmund University is for children of students and employees as well as members of the FH Dortmund University of Applied Sciences. Children from 6 to approx. 13 years of age are looked after from Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 16:00.
You can use the registration form to register for all of this year's vacation childcare programs. There are enough places available so that you can also book care spontaneously according to your needs. It is not necessary to book all weeks in one booking. As usual, you can also book the final offer shortly before the respective vacations.

When and where?
Vacation care takes place for a total of seven weeks a year: In the two Easter and fall vacation weeks as well as in the first three weeks of the summer vacation, children are usually cared for on the South Campus of the TU Dortmund University.
Costs?
The parents' fee for all vacation weeks is 30 euros per child and week for students' children and 40 euros per child and week for employees' children.
Good to know
TU Dortmund University is obliged to report the monetary benefit to the State Office for Salaries and Benefits for the weeks of vacation care used. This amount will be noted on your pay slip (imputed income) and added to your gross salary and taxed.
Depending on the amount of kids, who register for the vacation care, the amount may be lower.
Please note: The actual costs that you incur for the child vacation care per week/child will only show up in the payroll. The higher wage tax and social insurance will be deducted from the net wage in a later month after individual recalculation in the corresponding amount. With the annual tax equalization (as part of the income tax return), you may get back a portion of the tax withheld due to imputed income; your individual tax circumstances are decisive here. Please consult a tax advisor for detailed information.
We would be happy to provide you with an overview of the possible contributions that are calculated as imputed income:
Easter vacations: approx. 230 euros per child/week
Summer vacations: approx. 301 euros per child/week
Autumn vacations: approx. 265 euros per child/week.

Location & approach
The campus of TU Dortmund University is located close to interstate junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A 45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B 1 / A 40. The best interstate exit to take from A 45 is “Dortmund-Eichlinghofen” (closer to South Campus), and from B 1 / A 40 “Dortmund-Dorstfeld” (closer to North Campus). Signs for the university are located at both exits. Also, there is a new exit before you pass over the B 1-bridge leading into Dortmund.
To get from North Campus to South Campus by car, there is the connection via Vogelpothsweg/Baroper Straße. We recommend you leave your car on one of the parking lots at North Campus and use the H-Bahn (suspended monorail system), which conveniently connects the two campuses.
TU Dortmund University has its own train station (“Dortmund Universität”). From there, suburban trains (S-Bahn) leave for Dortmund main station (“Dortmund Hauptbahnhof”) and Düsseldorf main station via the “Düsseldorf Airport Train Station” (take S-Bahn number 1, which leaves every 15 or 30 minutes). The university is easily reached from Bochum, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg.
You can also take the bus or subway train from Dortmund city to the university: From Dortmund main station, you can take any train bound for the Station “Stadtgarten”, usually lines U41, U45, U 47 and U49. At “Stadtgarten” you switch trains and get on line U42 towards “Hombruch”. Look out for the Station “An der Palmweide”. From the bus stop just across the road, busses bound for TU Dortmund University leave every ten minutes (445, 447 and 462). Another option is to take the subway routes U41, U45, U47 and U49 from Dortmund main station to the stop “Dortmund Kampstraße”. From there, take U43 or U44 to the stop “Dortmund Wittener Straße”. Switch to bus line 447 and get off at “Dortmund Universität S”.
The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.
The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on North Campus. One (“Dortmund Universität S”) is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the university directly with the city of Dortmund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the “Technologiepark” and (via South Campus) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at North Campus and offers a direct connection to South Campus every five minutes.
The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent “Technologiepark”.
