Berblinger Tower

Highlight • Monument

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.

Fishermen's and Tanners' Quarter Ulm

Highlight • Historical Site

The big blue and next to it the small one, the Fischergasse, simply magically idyllic and without traffic noise. Time seems to stand still.
And every time I think that people come to rest and enjoy themselves at this point.

Ulm City Wall

Highlight • Historical Site

Above the wall and down wide paths, which results in a very pretty promenade that pedestrians and cyclists easily share in the lower area.

Leaning House, Ulm

Highlight • Monument

The crooked house in its current form was built in 1406 on a gravel base. The building was repeatedly softened by the water of the Blau, so that the south façade sank further and further over the years. The collapse of the house was prevented by concrete foundations that were installed in the 19th century.
It is often referred to as the most crooked hotel in the world and made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 1997.

Butchers' Tower, Ulm

Highlight • Monument

The Butcher Tower in Ulm is a city gate of the medieval city fortification on the Danube that is still preserved today. The square brick tower with pointed arch gates was built around 1340 as the outlet of the Stauf town fortifications to the town butcher in front, the town's slaughterhouse. The upper floor with cantilevered arch is completed by a steep hipped roof.

Ulm Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The exterior facade of the town hall is really unique with its painting. You should therefore take a little time so that you can look at them in peace.
