The "Leaning House", probably the most photographed former town house in Ulm, dates back to 1406. In 1443, the large late Gothic extension to the building was carried out. Before that, the house was only about half as long. The building began to lean in the 17th century. Firstly, the subsoil gave way towards the Blau, and secondly, residents sawed through supporting beams during improper renovations. The result: even when sober, they had to cope with a significant lean from then on.
