This is how your child eats for free

In the main canteen in Dortmund, children can choose between the individual menu lines - including vegan and vegetarian dishes - or from the vegetable, pasta or salad buffet. In all other restaurants, children have a free choice between the hot meals and the buffet dishes.

Conditions and contact persons

As a general rule, the meal is free for children up to the age of 10, provided that the person accompanying the child purchases their own full meal. While it is sufficient to present a birth certificate at the FH Südwestfalen campuses, the universities in Dortmund issue their own child ID card, which must be shown at the checkout.

Children's play corner in the main canteen

Children are very welcome in all our facilities! In the main canteen, little guests even have their own area, the "children's play corner". Colourful seating and a few toys await the little ones there. The play corner is designed to give parents the chance to eat in peace. It is located in one of the five large windowed dormers in the main canteen. Signs and banners publicise the offer. The neighbouring tables are reserved for families, and high chairs are available for the little ones.

Nursing and nappy-changing room in the canteen foyer

A breastfeeding and nappy-changing room is located just one floor below in the foyer of the canteen building. You can obtain the key for the room from the InfoPoint opposite.
