Dortmund miss final, rue getting knocked out (8)

I believe the answer is:

fraulein

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dortmund miss' is the definition.
'Fraulein' can be an answer for 'miss' (German equivalent to 'miss'). I am not certain of the 'dortmund' bit.

'final rue getting knocked out' is the wordplay.
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'knocked out' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'final'+'rue'='finalrue'
'finalrue' with letters rearranged gives 'FRAULEIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fraulein that I've seen before include "German Miss" , "Berlin woman" .)
