Metzgerturm City Gate

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.

View of the Danube

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful spot, with a great view of the Danube, as well as Ulm and the Danube Island.

Two chairs are attached to a small viewing platform. So just sit down and enjoy.

The Berblinger Tower is also opposite.

And to the left, the Little Danube flows back into the Great Danube.

Those in love can attach a love lock to the railing. As many have done before.
