Obere Donaubastion (Werk I)

Here you are, standing before the Obere Donaubastion, a key part of the Ulm Fortress, built in 1855. This fortification is a testament to Ulm's military significance during the 19th century. To the west, you'll notice the Theater Ulüm just 18 meters away, and the Danube Swabian Central Museum nearby as well. This bastion was a crucial element of the defensive ring that once surrounded Ulm. Remember that you're standing on a piece of history shaped by strategic thinking and architectural expertise. As you look further east, you can spot the Obere Stadtkehle and Oberer Donauturm, both significant monuments within the fortress complex.
