German Rosarium — Rose World Heritage in Dortmund

The German Rosarium in Westfalenpark was established in 1969 and is among the three most important rose collections worldwide (alongside Sangerhausen and Lyon). It showcases over 3,000 rose varieties across approximately 6 hectares — historical, modern, wild, and experimental breeds. This makes Dortmund one of Europe's rose capitals, a fact that is not widely known outside of specialist circles.

Westfalenpark — Dortmund's Green Heart

The Westfalenpark, covering 70 hectares, is Dortmund's most important city park. With the Florianturm (218 m), the See Bühne (stage on the water), the water playground, the Rosarium, and countless themed gardens, it is one of Germany's largest city parks. In addition to the Rosenfest, it hosts the Juicy Beats Festival, the Lichterfest (Festival of Lights), and the PSD Bank Sommerkino (Summer Cinema) — the park is a major festival magnet for the city.
