Guided Story

Imagine standing in front of a building that's been a silent witness to Ulm's history for centuries. Look up and you'll see the balcony. Every year on Schwörmontag, the mayor stands there to address the city, a tradition going back to the 14th century! But the Schwörhaus has heard more than just speeches. It was heavily damaged during the Thirty Years' War, yet like a phoenix, it rose from the ashes time and again. Now, if you look to your right, you can spot the House of City History, a perfect place to dive deeper into Ulm’s past.
