On the Friedrichshafen shore of Lake Constance lies the sound ship "Im Aktuell", which was constructed by the "European artist" Helmut Lutz. Influenced by the war in the Balkans, this ship was built as a kind of ambassador for peace. In the spirit of Europe's eastern connection, the ship stopped along the Danube in Beuron, Ulm, Passau, Linz, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and finally in Mohacs, on the border with Serbia. At this border, a huge wooden teardrop with the inscription "Europe is crying" was thrown overboard. With these references, it was set up in Sarajevo, Friedrichshafen's sister city, in 2000. At the end of this long journey, the “sound ship” finally dropped its anchor on Lake Constance. The steel and wooden structure is 40 meters long and combines representations of the European bull and Urania.

Today, numerous concerts and performances take place on the sound ship, especially as part of the Kulturufer.
