Overview

  • Discover the rough, rebellious, and deeply human origins of Borussia Dortmund. This is not just a football tour; it is a journey back in time to the heart of the North City in 1909. You walk through the same streets where steelworkers, miners, and rebellious youth clashed with the strict Catholic Church to forge a community from which the legendary Yellow Wall would later emerge. Experience the places, sounds, and stories of the 'Malocher', who created a worldwide phenomenon with their bare hands.
