Untere Donaubastion (Werk XXIV)

Here you find yourself at a key piece of Ulm's historical tapestry. The Untere Donaubastion, known as Werk XXIV, was constructed in 1855 and is part of the Ulm Fortress. It serves as a significant example of 19th-century military architecture, emphasizing Ulm's strategic importance at the time. Look to the west and you'll see the Pionierdenkmal, just 119 meters away. Further south, about 121 meters from here, stands the Unterer Donauturm, Werk XXV. These structures together tell the story of an era when Ulm played a pivotal defensive role. The proximity to these other historical points highlights the bastion's importance within a larger military network.
