Welcome to Ulm and Neu-Ulm

Linked and yet divided by the river Danube: the old former Free Imperial City of Ulm in Baden-Württemberg, and the new city of Neu-Ulm in Bavaria. Both are well worth a visit: Ulm’s historic Fishermen’s Quarter, the world-famous Gothic cathedral with the highest church spire in the world, the old lanes and squares; and Neu-Ulm with its unique panorama of the Danube and beautiful parks and gardens. Together, the cities form a major cultural centre with many museums, e.g. the Museum of Bread Culture or the Museum Ulm with its collections of important masterpieces from medieval times onward, modern sights like the the ‘New Centre’ and with outstanding shopping facilities.

Our Highlights

Ulm Minster

For centuries, the minster has dominated the town and the region and has become synonymous with Ulm both at home and abroad. This prominence is mainly attributable to its spire, which, at 161.53 meters, is the highest church spire in the world. Learn more.


Art gallery kunsthalle weishaupt

The very prominent building with its sophisticated design is situated right at the heart of Ulm, pursuing a clear mission: The art gallery wants nothing to distract from the beauty of the exhibits displayed inside the building. Learn more.


Einstein fountain

The cast bronze sculpture, on the grounds of the historical arsenal, was made by Jürgen Goertz from Sinsheim in 1984 and consists of three elements: the rocket body represents technology, conquering space and the atomic threat. Learn more.

Leaning House
