Drinking Hall Tour Dortmund

From stall, kiosk, drinking hall or kiosk in the Union Quarter
On our tour through the Unionviertel - originally a working-class district, now a trendy one - we are on the trail of a Ruhr area phenomenon with cult status: Trinkhalle, Bude, Büdchen, Kiosk ... many names behind which a world full of useful and delicious things opens up. It doesn't matter whether you need milk or toilet paper after closing time, run out of beer at a party, suddenly feel an irrepressible desire for a mixed bag of homemade sweets or potato chips, or want to buy a newspaper quickly: The Büdchen has (almost) everything your heart desires.

And this is what awaits you: Starting at the Hochbunker in Rittershausstraße, at Café Erdmann, we head together to a number of different stalls in the Unionviertel with its urban charm and delight you with a mixed bag to enjoy.

During the tour, you will learn a lot about the history and significance of the Trinkhalle for Dortmund and the Ruhr region. For example, that the idea for the Trinkhalle dates back to the time of industrialization, when mine and factory owners set them up at the factory gates. Run by miners and factory workers who were no longer able to work, they offered mineral water and non-alcoholic drinks to curb the consumption of beer and spirits by the miners. After all, drinking tap water posed a health risk due to impurities. Or how the stalls gradually changed their product range after they opened in the workers' residential areas, such as the Unionviertel, and became not only a place to go for urgent purchases, but also a place where people still meet and chat today! Or that the kiosk of yesteryear is not the kiosk of today, how and why all this has changed and why today, for example, there is the "Trinkhallenverein", which is dedicated to preserving the kiosk culture.

A taste: yes, there will be one.
