Guided Story

You're standing before the Obere Stadtkehle, also known as Werk XXVII, an integral part of the Ulm Fortress built in 1855. This structure is a testament to the city's military past and its defensive architecture. Look east, and you'll find the Oberer Donauturm, Werk XXVIII, just 33 meters away. To the west, about 138 meters, is the Obere Donaubastion, another piece of the fortress network. These structures were crucial in protecting the city from invasions. Nearby, the Theater Ulüm and the Danube Swabian Central Museum, both to the west, highlight how the city blends its rich history with vibrant cultural activities. Let the history here inspire you.
