German Football Museum

Amazing museum! Made football fascinating even for someone as repulsed by football as myself! Very interactive and engaging in every bit.

Excellent museum next to the central train station in Dortmund. 19 euros ticket for an adult. Children, students etc. cheaper. Focussing on the international and domestic achievements of German football teams, this modern museum combines film and multimedia with traditional info boards (in German and English), and real momentos and original pieces behind glass. Fun items too such as Helmut Schön's cap and a tribute to Paul the Octopus (who was born at Sealife in my hometown of Weymouth, England). I am 61 years old, and I remember many of the German players and football triumphs, so for me it was worth visiting. I would recommend to any football fan who also enjoys history and museums. I was in the museum for 3 hours, but I wish I could have stayed longer, but I had to catch a train. There is plenty to see and do. There is also a film and tour.

Detailed and engaging history of German football. Great way to spend two or three hours - countless old shirts to look at, trophies to take photos with, and so much to learn.

Super cool exhibits explaining the history of German football. I myself am not specifically a fan of the German national team but I really enjoyed the time I spent here. Cool artifacts and great descriptions, could spend about 3 hours here and it’s right across from the main train station so a great place to kill time before catching a train. Student discount is amazing, almost 50% off of the ticket price.

Probably, the biggest football museum in Germany, nice to visit if you were in Dortmund or transit( very close of the train station ). You can discover history of the sport in the country through it’s history: world wars, division of country, the era after reunification.
Interactive and comprehensive, it can takes few hours to carefully visit it. For me it deservs if you are a football fan.

Great experience and stunning stuff to see. Fantastic animations and a pretty cool 3D movie to watch.
Staffing was very friendly and supportive.
There was no wait at all during the week in December. Would highly recommend for true soccer fans especially 2014 mold cup is a big theme for this museum.
Ticket prices are ok.

Excellent place for anyone interested in football. There is a good mix of interactive media, reading about exhibits, items to see and stories to learn.

Very captivating thematic parts of the museum from important matches in German football all the way to recent times (including also women squads), great job 👍
I personally really enjoyed the West vs East Germany section and part that football played during war times, but they definitely have also easier to digest areas and kid routes.

You can spend between half a day to full day here depending on how thorough you want to be.
Recommend buying tickets online as they are a bit cheaper than buying on-site.

I loved the football museum - particularly also the section on the old GDR and how doctrine linked to training. I was totally mesmerized and forgot time. I take the point they could have consulted fans more - e.g. relatively little on the current leagues, on European tournaments

Great museum, specially for those interested in the German National team. Nice memorabilia and texts also available in English. The 3D ride is just a joke, but not to the point of hurtimg the muse as a whole. Interesting stuff on the museum store.

Absolutely fascinating and amazing place in the world of Football. I filmed an awards evening event here and it was accommodated with the upmost top quality staff. As you can see I somehow brought home the office trophy (Camel) 😂

Nice Museum of the German Football ...
A nice place to celebrate all the Legends of Germany !

Such a nice place to visit. Very educational. You will get the chance to learn the history of football in Germany and more. i would definitly love to visit again.

If you are a football fan, you’ll definitely love the place, they have english translation for all texts/audios. The staff are friendly and give you clear explanations.

As someone with no real interest in football, I found myself spending hours here. It was interesting all the way through and you get a real sense of the passion involved.

There is a floor dedicated to the history of the German team, accomplishments and highlights over the years and another for the Bundesliga and some interactive pieces at the end.

If I recall, all content was in German and English.

Mind Boggling. a 7- star experience. Spend 3 hours and it still wasn't enough. There so much historical significance of this Sport And this was only the German part of it. Had to rush for the last 15 mins. But what an experience. This museum actually showcases why Football is a way of life. Being one of those who live football, this was so exciting, that I had to restrain myself from shouting ( in a good way) and jumping like a child. So detailed, so many artifacts, photos, and the historical videos were just so thrilling. and the 3-D show was just Wow.

I could go on and on, but will let you guys enjoy the real spine chilling experience. Personally, I Couldn't get enough, but will definitely visit again. And recommend to not just a football fan, but anyone who understands the significance of what a museum should be that honours legacy and it's legends.

The museum is amazing. If you’re a football fan (or a kid 😁), there is sooo much to see! There are also spaces where kids can play. So many interesting facts about the history of football and of German football. The fee is a bit high. I know that it includes everything, but maybe the fee could be lower just for visiting and people who want extra access to stuff could pay more.
Anyway, it’s definitely worth a visit!

Probably a little bit too expensive, but the quantity and quality of information is incredible and there's loads of interactivity which makes up for it in the end. The games at the end are very fun too.

Das Deutsche Fussballmuseum is a fantastic place to learn and celebrate the German football history. Four world championships is evidence of the great football culture. But the museum also focuses on the outstanding German club history with memorabilia. The guided tour explains the details of the achievements and challenges opens the the eyes to the history of football achievements by men and women football. Great place to visit !

Fantastic place for footy (soccer) fans. The history of German Football including international and club teams. Be sure to watch the 15 min 3D movie.

Great museum overall with a lot of historic items and trophies!
