Guided Story

Imagine standing right on the border between two German states. This bridge not only connects Ulm and Neu-Ulm, but also Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. Look up and admire the sleek lines of its design. The architect, Ulrich Finsterwalder, was a pioneer in bridge engineering. As you stand here, glance over the railing; the Danube flows beneath you, a river that has served as a trade route for centuries. Did you know the bridge was originally called the Ring Bridge? Today, nearly 100,000 vehicles cross it daily, yet in the evening, when the city's lights dance on the water, the bridge has a charm of its own. If you turn around, you might spot the Theater Ulüm nearby—a cultural contrast to the modern traffic flows here.
