Fußballmuseum Dortmund Tickets

Opened in 2015, the Dortmund city centre building is one of the most visited museums in the Ruhr area. The vibrant, emotional and interactive exhibition recounts 140 years of German football history over 3,300 m² of floor space. Subjects include not only the triumphs of the national team, the history of the Bundesliga and the development of the women's game, but also football under National Socialism and its influence on many areas of everyday culture. Spectacular media presentations, more than 1,600 exhibits and a host of interactive modules guarantee an exciting and diverse museum experience.

Immerse yourself in 140 years of German football history. The feelings well up. Brought on by a piece of kit, stained with the marks of battle. By sounds, voices, celebrations. By unforgettable scenes. By boots still covered in grass. By trophies reflecting the glory of huge moments. Some of the exhibits you will find may seem unremarkable at first, but behind them lie a host of stories great and small.

Go from one goosebump feeling, one magical football moment, to another. Relive each one in all its emotional richness. Along the way, you will come across chapters in the history of the game that make you pensive and not only rekindle memories, but also keep them alive. Football in times of war, persecution, betrayal, corruption - all part of an all-encompassing look at our sport. Football from different perspectives. Including beyond the end of your nose. This is football.

The HALL OF FAME of German football seeks to honour outstanding players and coaches from the men's and women's game and cement their status in the historical consciousness of German football. The Hall of Famers are selected by a jury made up of leading German sportswriters and the museum director.

The HALL OF FAME is supported by the German Football Museum, which has undertaken to provide a lasting home and preserve memories worthy of the national game and its outstanding personalities. New members are inducted into the HALL OF FAME once a year at a festive gala.

On establishment of the HALL OF FAME, eleven men and eleven women plus one coach per inaugural team were selected by the jury. The inaugural teams were nominated by position according to a specific playing system (3-4-3).

Essentially, any male or female German player from 1900 to the present day who has been retired for at least five years is eligible for nomination. Particular consideration will be given to players with an exceptional record of performance for the national team before or after the war, for the former DDR national team, and in domestic and international club football.
