Dortmund is a city in Germany, located in the Bundesland of North Rhine-Westphalia,
in the Ruhr area.
Its population of 587,830 (20 June 2005) makes it the largest city in the region,
7th-largest in Germany, and 34th-largest in the European Union.
The Ruhr river flows south of the city, and the small river Emscher
flows through the municipal area.
The Dortmund-Ems Canal also terminates in the Dortmund Port,
which is the largest European canal port, and links Dortmund to the North Sea.
Dortmund is known as Westphalia's "green metropolis".
Nearly half the municipal territory consists of waterways, woodland, agriculture and
green spaces with spacious parks such as Westfalenpark and the Rombergpark.
This contrasts with nearly a hundred years of extensive coal mining and
steel milling within the city limits.
