EDLW has a history of overruns both TO and LDG. Runway is relatively short and stop margins with Airbus A320 with Conf 3 in the 30 to 60 meter region with WET RWY with medium weights and engine anti-ice on. TOGA thrust provides much better margins but it is still a short runway and many companies operating in and out have put restrictions as to who can be the pilot flying. Both RWY's 24 and 06 also have a displaced threshold.

- except it was not an A320 but a 737.
Looking at the picture it seems to be a -800 with a collapsed nosegear, but not nearly as bad as the AA 737-800 of last week!
She'll be back flying...
KLM-MD11

I was aware of it being a 737. Same laws of aeromystics apply to a Boeing as it does to the Airbus. Since I have not been flying a 737 for over 10 years and certainly not to DTM but have on the Airbus, hence the example.
I would think that AB320 and B737 have very similar RWY performance out of DTM. Certainly they have same problems with friction coefficient and runway state and face same problems with weather even possibly with similar results.

Why not passenger evacuation? I can see some steps attached to the 2R door. In most airlines an abnormal attitude such as this would generate an evacuation started by any cabin crew member without the need to wait for instructions from the flight deck.

A short report on N-TV: Flughafen Dortmund gesperrt: Air-Berlin-Jet rutscht ab - n-tv.de (in German)
The report says 165 passengers on board, nobody hurt.
Pax left the airplane by stairs.

Air Berlin does not see pilot error. He did correct, said Air Berlin speaker Diane Daedelow. He had to abort the takeoff due to two different speed indications. Apparently one of the speed indicators was wrong. Air Berlin is now checking for failure of the Airport Operator. It is questionable if the stopway was completely deiced, said Daedelow.

Some bits to speculate about
Here's some more information gathered from press reports: AB2450 (a 737-800) was scheduled to take off from Dortmund for Las Palmas at 7:05 this morning. 165 pax and 6 crew on board (as well as a dog in cargo, as one report says).
Citing airport officials, reports say that the pilot aborted take-off due to "technical irregularities". Aircraft "skidded" off the runway and came to stop nose-down on an adjacent field. According to one report, the aircraft, while trying to brake, veered off the side of the icy safety area.
All pax and crew (as well as the dog) are unharmed and left the aircraft via stairs.
Reports cite an Air Berlin spokeswoman saying that the pilot had to abort take-off because of two differing speed readings from cockpit instruments. There seems to have been a problem with the aircraft's speed indicators.
According to an news agency report, the airline asked whether the safety area had been properly de-iced.
Aircraft not damaged, says the airline. Dortmund airport closed until aircraft is recovered. Pax continue journey via Paderborn.

If they overran the runway, they must have been doing more than 80kts. Why then stop for an airspeed indication problem? You have to be go-minded, the aircraft almost always feels better in the air, except for engine and flight-control problems obviously.
Rarely acidents happen because the crew elected to continue. Mishaps because of a rejected take-off are frequent however.

How can you accurately judge V1 (go,no-go) with an airspeed disagreement?
That schould give a rough estimate, with the reported wind of 020/10kt close enough.

... and there are three pitot tubes feeding three separate ASIs (the standby ASI uses the auxiliary pitot tube and alternate static port). You can have a democratic 2 to 1 vote.
"IAS DISAGREE" alert should have been visible on the Speed tape with > 5 knot for 5 seconds Captain / FO difference above 45 knots, although that would be easy to miss, and 5 seconds is quite-a-ways down the strip.

TheWanderer:
this answer seems silly to me... we can not "roughly estimate" a go/nogo decision, as we can not roughly estimate how close we are to V1.
During the take off roll, things happen very fast. Looking at the groudspeed given by IRS is not practicable, especially at high speed.

Below the Glidepath - not correcting

So if all engines are running, wouldn't it be wiser to continue from a short-ish runway?

If your pitot-static and air data computer systems are not functioning properly, as an ex-ppl, frequent passenger and current air traffic controller I would much rather the aircraft stayed on terra firma.
Looks like a similar situation as the recent Ryanair excursion at EGPK, lack of grip on the paved surfaces when most needed.
Glad that everybody walked away, may have been a completely different scenario if it had gotten airborne.
