Neu-Ulm and Ulm |
Neu-Ulm and Ulm, two towns that are separated by the river Danube, belong to two different Federal states – Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Visit them both!
| The name alone says everything - Neu-Ulm is the young Bavarian sister town of Ulm and has officially been mentioned for the first time only 200 years ago. The small village “Ulm on the right shore of the Danube” was a more or less accidental settlement of gardens, farms and inns. With the construction of the Federal fortress, the Danube bridge and the railway, the town became economically and politically more important.
After the “De-fortress contract” of 1906, the required expansion of the town could be initiated.
During World War II, almost 80 percent of the buildings of Neu-Ulm were destroyed which were built up again in the following two decades.
Between 1951 and 1991, Neu-Ulm was an American military base. Amply recreation areas, the Wiley Club and the former barrack areas are still witnesses of the American history of Neu-Ulm.
In regard with the developments in the town, the Project NU 21 – the lowering of the railway tracks and the reconstruction of 18 ha of the town centre - Neu-Ulm is offered opportunities of an integral urban development with permanent high-quality green spaces in the town.
Today, Neu-Ulm is a young town in change with future potential! Don’t miss a walk through the town – and not only because of the nice view to the sister town Ulm.
| The town of Ulm that belongs to Baden-Württemberg copes with the balancing act between tradition and modern times. Historical buildings such as the Ulm Minster or the half-timbered houses in the fishermen’s quarter testify an important history. Visionary projects such as the centre of Ulm or the glass pyramid of the municipal library are evidence of a promising future.
