Lücklemberg is a southern district of Dortmund in the district of Hombruch .

The place name is derived from the two farmers Lück and Lemberg and is therefore stressed on the second syllable. The suburb is now one of the upscale residential areas close to the city in Dortmund. There are numerous representative villas and mansions in the district. Particularly noteworthy is the Villa Opländer, which was built in 1924 for the engineer and manufacturer Louis Opländer . The villa was later sold to the Hoesch Group, and for many years it served as the residence of the former Minister of State Harald Koch . The Hoesch-Villa, named today after the long-time owner, is a monument.

The Heidehof stood in the Lücklemberg area until the 1980s, later a training center for IG Metall , and today the building serves as an office location. Heidehof, which opened in March 1951, became known nationwide through a squatting in 1982 when the building was to be saved from demolition.

The suburb hit the headlines again in November 1987 when the roof of the Olpketalschule gymnasium, built in the 1950s, collapsed; however, at this point there was no one in the hall.

Lücklemberg is Dortmund's richest district. The average income here is almost 75,000 euros a year.
