To set the scene, Ulm Minster has the highest steeple in the world, is officially the tallest complete church in the world and coming into the 20th century it was the 5th tallest man-made structure. From the tower, 768 steps and 143 metres up, there’s a panorama of the Alps far in the distance to the south. Ulm Minster was started in 1377, but part...
Where the channels of the Blau Stream enter the Danube is the Medieval waterside quarter for Ulm’s tanners, fishermen and shipbuilders. The neighbourhood reached its zenith in the 1500s when trade on the Danube was roaring. As a testament to this high demand, the streets are tightly packed with cantilevered timber-framed houses, some so close to ea...
What could be the cutest building in Ulm is the Schiefes Haus, a rickety inn from the start of the 15th century. This corbelled, half-timbered house was used by Ulm’s shipmasters for hundreds of years. At an incline of between 9 and 10° the Schiefes Haus looks like it’s just about to collapse, but is still going strong 600 years after it was built....
The museum for bread culture has an apt home in a Renaissance granary that was built in 1592 and was in use until the start of the 19th century. In 1955 the father and son Willy and Hermann Wiselen converted the warehouse into a museum about bread and its role in civilisation from prehistory to today. You’ll delve into grain cultivation, milling, b...
Some way south of Ulm, near the confluence of the Iller and Danube Rivers, is a former Benedictine Abbey, now a department of the University of Ulm. The abbey was founded in the 11th century, and in the 18th century went through a period of rejuvenation, when its buildings were redesigned in an exuberant Late Baroque style. The biggest achievement ...
Coated with trompe-l’œil frescoes, Ulm’s majestic old town hall has an Early Renaissance design and is composed of three buildings, the oldest of which dates back to the 1370. The oldest architecture is on the southeast side of the complex, while the gables and daintily ornamented windows are from the 15th century. The town hall has always been cov...
If you’re up for a restorative stroll you could make for the Danube bordered by a long remnant of Ulm’s defensive walls. Built from brick, these date to 1482 and run from the planted Lauseck Bastion in the west for the length of the old town to the spacious Friedrichsau Park in the east. There’s a continuous raised looking over the Danube, Ulm’s do...
One unforgettable element in the defensive system by the Danube is the Metzgerturm (Butchers’ Tower), a gate predating the current line, going back to 1340. The tower got its name as an opening had to be made in the wall to make it easier to reach the city’s slaughterhouse, which was built outside the walls. On a square plant, this structure is 36 ...
In four adjacent houses on Ulm’s Marktplatz, the municipal museum is unmissable for its Gothic and Renaissance sculpture, but also a prehistoric statue that has no equivalent in the world. The Lion-man was discovered in the Hohlenstein-Stadel cave in 1939 and was shaped with a flint knife from mammoth ivory between 35,000 and 40,000 years ago. At 3...
While a lot of historic buildings remain in the Fisherman’s Quarter other parts of the old centre were badly affected by bombing in 1944. Here, bold new amenities have been constructed over the last 25 years or so. Take the Central Library, opposite the Old Town Hall and Minster, designed by Gottfried Böhm and in the shape of a glass pyramid. The n...
