New Year's Eve celebration in the U-Tower: An unforgettable view over Dortmund!

On December 28, 2024, preparations for the New Year's Eve celebrations are already in Dortmund. Numerous cultural events take place in the iconic "U" in the city center, a former fermentation and warehouse cellar of the Dortmund Union from the 1920s. The U-Tower still houses changing exhibitions as well as a night club and the "bridal tower", the highest tavern in Germany with a beer garden at a height of 64 meters. On New Year's Eve, the bridal tower not only offers a buffet and a DJ, but also the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular fireworks over the city. However, this great view has its price.

The Dortmund night representative Chris Stemann announced significant changes for the New Year's Eve on Friedensplatz at the same time. The program is made more family-friendly and receives support from local children's and youth dance groups. The planned attractions include a hands-on program, walking acts and stilt runners. In addition, changing Dortmund DJs, such as DJ IGL and Tanja Bracht from the Dortmund e.V. dance sports club, will create a good atmosphere.

The peace place is fenced for the New Year's party and is subject to access control.
