It is probably the most striking building of the Neue Mitte in Ulm: the Kunsthalle Weishaupt. Based on the fascination for geometric-concrete art, the enthusiasm for clear forms and bright colours forms the foundation of the collection. From the beginning of next year 2024, the famous "Lion Man" from the UNESCO World Heritage Site will also be on display here again. Our tip: free admission with the UlmCard!

On the banks of the Danube in Ulm, 16 pairs of wings commemorate the Ulm aviation pioneer.

What must it have been like to stand on a 20 meter high platform on the city wall while all the onlookers were waiting for you to jump and fly like a bird over the Danube? How do you think the 'Tailor of Ulm' felt on the day of his failed attempt to fly? Feel it and put yourself in Berblinger's place. At the former jumping-off point at the Adlerbastei, the 10-degree inclined 'Berblinger Tower' is accessible. The spiral staircase climbs dizzyingly, step by step. At the top, looking down to the ground, you can see that the construction and color scheme of the stairs is based on Berblinger's flying machine. Six loudspeakers attached to the sculpture turn the ascent into an audio experience.

Truly a beautiful sculpture made from discarded parts of industrial machinery - sorted and then carefully stacked on top of each other. Thank you, Tony Cragg.

The former Benedictine monastery is famous above all for its baroque library hall with its rich decoration of frescoes and sculptures. But the wonderful monastery church of St. Martin is also of great importance to this day. From the outside, the building appears monumental and austere due to the façade, which was never completed. The bright church interior with the grandiose ceiling frescoes stands at the transition from late Baroque to early Classicism. A special visitor highlight is the ›Museum im Konventbau‹. It focuses on the life of the subjects in the monastic state. It was they who, with their services and contributions, ensured that Wiblingen was not only a place of prayer, but also a flourishing business. Our tip: with the UlmCard you get free admission to the museum and the library hall.

These dim, stuffy non-places, where there is going and coming, but certainly no staying - almost no one who is looking for art thinks of a parking garage. But that is quite different here: a beautiful installation - the swirling and glowing artwork "White Circles" shines light into the darkness of the parking garage entrance. Absolutely worth seeing.

If you want to trace your life in pictures, you will find rich eye food in the domicile of the Ulm Adult Education Centre.

Cast in bronze and sculpturally sculpted, it can be found again in the Einstein Fountain on the Zeughaus grounds. The artist Jürgen Goertz, who lives in Angelbachtal, created it in 1984.

UlmCard Benefit: Free admission! Under the title 'Ulm University of Art and Design: from Zero Hour to 1968', the HfG Archive is showing a permanent exhibition on the history of the legendary educational institution. During its existence between 1953 and 1968, the HfG Ulm developed into one of the most influential universities for designers worldwide. In Ulm, such iconic designs as the 'Ulmer Hocker', the stacking tableware 'TC 100' and the radio-phono combination 'SK 4' by Braun, which became famous as the 'Snow White's coffin', were created. The 'Ulm model' developed at the HfG, a concept of design based on science and technology, continues to set standards today.

The modern townhouse is located in the heart of Ulm, right next to the world-famous Gothic cathedral. After more than 100 years of struggle for the prominent place in the middle of the city, it was built by the city of Ulm for its citizens. Designed by the American architect Richard Meier, it is a fascinatingly light-flooded place that is dynamic in terms of architecture and content. The interplay of styles, created by the immediate vicinity of the cathedral and the Stadthaus, is reflected in the programme of the Stadthaus: it is committed to tradition as well as modernity. Seven days a week, it is open to the citizens of Ulm as well as visitors from all over the world with free admission. At the beginning of 2019, it was added to the list of monuments of the state of Baden-Württemberg as a cultural monument of special importance. In the hall on the first level, numerous discussion forums and information events, concerts, readings and lectures, training courses and much more take place. This results in a program that is oriented towards the currents of the present and changes daily. Our tip: with the UlmCard you get a cube garden with a thyme scent
