Berblinger Tower

What must it have been like to stand on a 20-meter-high platform on the city wall,
while all the onlookers waited for you to jump and fly like a bird over the Danube? How must the 'Tailor of Ulm' have felt on the day of his failed attempt at flying?Imagine it and put yourself in Berblinger's shoes. At the former jumping-off point
at the Eagle Bastion, the 'Berblinger Tower', which is inclined at 10 degrees, is accessible.The spiral staircase winds its way dizzyingly upwards, step by step.At the top, looking down at the ground, you'll notice that the steps, both in construction and color, are inspired by Berblinger's flying machine.Six loudspeakers attached to the sculpture transform the climb into an audio experience. The tower was built in honor of Albrecht Ludwig Berblinger, who went down in history as a tailor, inventor, and aviation pioneer.
In 2020/2021, Ulm celebrates its 250th anniversary.tourismus.ulm.de/de/entdecken/sehen-und-erleben/sehenswuerdigkeiten/modernes/berblinger-turm

A daring plan was implemented. That's worth every euro to me. From above you have an even better view of the Danube.
The tower stands directly at the Adlerbastion, from where a tailor from Ulm attempted to fly in 1811. That's why there is a sculpture of scissors down on the bank.About Schneider with his historic flight attempt: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albrecht_Ludwig_Berblinger

Albrecht Ludwig Berblinger was born 250 years ago.
The tailor from Ulm was not allowed to hover over the Danube - downwinds, which were unknown when King Friedrich I visited in 1811, led to his crash.
The 22m high, expensive tower, in which the wind plays a decisive role, has been in place since Wednesday, May 20th, 2020.

The work of art was planned with € 500,000. It was surprising that if you dig at the city wall you will encounter parts of the city wall. A mere € 250,000 additional costs!
