Neu-Ulm is a large district town and the administrative seat of the Neu-Ulm district in the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia . The university city is located on the western border of Bavaria on the right bank of the Danube opposite the city ​​of Ulm, which belongs to Baden-Württemberg . Neu-Ulm is the third largest city in the administrative district after Augsburg and Kempten (Allgäu) .

The origins of the southern Danube city date from 1810, when Ulm became part of Württemberg and the settlements to the right of the Danube remained near Bavaria. Today Neu-Ulm is one of 23 regional centers in Bavaria and, together with Ulm, forms a cross-border dual center with over 180,000 inhabitants. Since the withdrawal of the US Army in 1991, the city has been in the process of urban development, which has been shaped by various major projects such as the renovation of the railway area with Neu-Ulm 21 or the State Garden Show in 2008. The term Nuxit is used to describe the intended exit of the district city from the Neu-Ulm district (but rejected on June 4, 2019).

Urban development overview

When Ulm came to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1810 , the settlements on the right (southeast) of the Danube remained with Bavaria. They developed rapidly - especially due to the decision to build the Federal Fortress Ulm in 1841 - and were connected to the railway line to Augsburg in 1853 . Under King Ludwig II , Neu-Ulm was promoted to town in 1869 and received a garrison of up to around 2,500 men . When this was dissolved after the First World War , the city successfully fought against the downturn and from 1925 onwards slowly became a center of industry due to the settlement of companies. The basis for this was the water supply secured in 1900 with the striking Neu-Ulm water tower and the breaking through of the fortress walls in 1906. The previously independent city of Neu-Ulm was incorporated into the district of Neu-Ulm through the Bavarian regional reform in 1972 and became a major district town .

Relationship to Ulm and the district

In addition to the “City” area, today's Neu-Ulm has a further eleven officially named parts of the municipality, three quarters of which were only incorporated in the last third of the 20th century. Many areas have remained rather rural in character, in principle village-like. In the beginning of the short, only 200-year development history, some much older places such as Pfuhl , which today belong to Neu-Ulm, were of greater importance. The importance and size of the directly neighboring Ulm also have an impact. So there are always discussions to what extent Neu-Ulm can hold its own against the neighboring city with regard to public transport , energy and water supply or in the cultural area and whether the participation in the costs is appropriate.

Area statistics and urban structure

The urban area is 8097 hectares, of which 1124 hectares are forest area , 4485 hectares are used for agriculture . Neu-Ulm has 259 hectares of water and 148 hectares of recreational areas; the other areas amount to 13,757 hectares. All of this in 9 areas . As of August 25, 2000, there are 620 street names and 21,725 parcels .

The Wiley is a residential and business district in the Ludwigsfeld district and is not run as an independent district.

history

Formation of Neu-Ulm

The right bank of the Danube belonged to the imperial city of Ulm until 1802 and was used in many ways. The western part of the island in the Danube, which was known as Der Schwal and is still called that way, was a Vorwerk of the Ulm city fortifications and secured the Danube crossing. Its eastern part, the Schwal, served as a raft and ship area. On the banks of the Danube, west of the island, were the workshops of the Ulm shipmen's guild, the Schopperplatz. This is where the Ulm boxes were built. In addition to the buildings of the Ulm riflemen, the shooting houses, there were gardens of Ulm citizens in the area of ​​today's city center. The gardens were followed by a narrow area of ​​arable land, which merged into the Ulmer Ried with its pastures.

The reorganization of Europe by Napoleon also had an impact in Ulm. In 1802, before the announcement of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the city lost its independence and was incorporated into the Electorate of Bavaria.

In the Compiègne Treaty of April 24, 1810, which came about under significant pressure from Napoleon, an exchange of territory was agreed between the kingdoms of Bavaria and Württemberg . A state treaty between Bavaria and Württemberg dated May 1810 regulated the details. Bavaria ceded sovereignty over the city of Ulm and parts of Upper Swabia to Württemberg. The border was drawn in the middle of the Danube. The island and the possessions of Ulm on the right bank of the Danube remained with Bavaria.

The Bavarian General Commissioner Karl Ernst Freiherr von Gravenreuth officially designated April 22, 1811 as the day on which the community that emerged from the former Ulm area “should begin to exist politically”.

Urban development

At first the place consisted of a few gardens, courtyards and taverns. In the list of localities from 1888, the village of Ludwigsfeld and the wasteland of Gurrenhof are mentioned separately. From 1908 the rural community Offenhausen was also part of it, with the village of the same name and the wastelands Maierhof, Steinhäule and Striebelhof. Initially the Congregation was called Ulm on the right bank of the Danube , in 1814 the name Neu-Ulm was first put on record. A small settlement core had developed by the 1830s.

The upswing only got underway a few decades later: in 1841, the Frankfurt Federal Assembly decided to build the Federal Fortress Ulm with a bridgehead on the Bavarian side. At the instigation of King Ludwig I , the town of Neu-Ulm was included in the fortress . From 1844 to 1857 the extensive fortifications were built on the Bavarian side according to plans by the fortress construction director Major von Herdegen and his successor, Major Engineer Theodor Ritter von Hildenbrandt. The closed inner ring (enceinte) was designed as a half octagon with four straight fronts. In addition, three upstream fortifications were built: Plant 12 Schwaighofen, Plant 13 Ludwigsvorfeste and Plant 14 Illerkanal. Neu-Ulm became a garrison , the 12th Infantry Regiment Prince Arnulf as well as Chevauxlegers and foot artillery moved in . In 1853 Neu-Ulm was connected to the Bavarian Maximiliansbahn to Augsburg . After the completion of the railway bridge over the Danube, the railway line was extended to Ulm in 1854 and thus connected to the rail network of the Royal Württemberg State Railways . A "Bayerischer Bahnhof" was built on the south side of the Ulm train station. In 1857 the place received a city coat of arms . From 1857 to 1860 the Catholic Church of St. Johann Baptist was built in neo-Romanesque style. The Protestant church was built from 1863 to 1867 in a neo-Gothic style. Both were built as brick buildings. Numerous military structures were erected during the 1840s to 1860s. These include the fortress construction yard (“ Schirrhof ”, 1845–58), the Friedenskaserne (“Zwölfer barracks”, 1860–67), the Chevauxlegers barracks (1865–67), the garrison hospital (1862–66), and from the provisions office the military bakery 2 (1849) and the magazines I (1852–54, also military bakery 1), II (1861–62) and III (1863–64) and the war hospital (1850–54), which became an artillery barracks in 1873, as well as the officers' mess the Maximilianstrasse. In 1869 King Ludwig II was granted city rights .

Expansion of the city

Petrusplatz Neu-Ulm 2005

In 1885 the lawyer Josef Kollmann became the first mayor . The construction of the communal facilities began, which formed the basis for the further development of the city: the city hospital was built in 1887, the slaughterhouse in 1889. In 1891 Neu-Ulm was elevated to the status of a first class city and thus became a district . From 1897 a tram line connected the stations of Ulm and Neu-Ulm. The commissioning of the water tower in 1900 secured the city's water supply; the tower quickly became the symbol of the city. In 1906 the fortress walls were finally allowed to be broken through, and Neu-Ulm was able to expand. In 1907, open land in the southeast of the city was opened up with an industrial track. The Neu-Ulm industrial area developed from this through the settlement of factories. In 1908 Offenhausen was (re) incorporated. During the deconsolidation in 1909/1910, the fortifications were razed from Bahnhofstrasse to Augsburger Tor. The city administration had the central school and residential buildings built on the vacated areas. The Augsburger Tor and the Danube connection were initially retained. In front of the gate, a square was built on the city side, which was named Augsburger-Tor-Platz. In 1912 the new Danube bridge, the Gänstorbrücke , was inaugurated. It serves as a direct connection between the eastern districts of Neu-Ulm and Ulm and thereby relieves the Herdbrücke .

After the First World War , the Neu-Ulm garrison was dissolved. 2,500 consumers of the former garrison were lost. This required a reorientation for Neu-Ulm's economy, which was one-sidedly oriented towards the military . Within a few years Neu-Ulm had coped with the loss of the garrison. From 1925 at the latest, the economy continued to improve, as Mayor Kollmann had already set the course for the dawn of the industrial age in the 19th century. The Bavarian side had a far better supply situation in all matters compared to Ulm in Württemberg, but at most got into difficulties from the Württemberg "hamster system". (At that time an egg in Neu-Ulm cost nine pfennigs less than in Ulm, a liter of milk was 16 pfennigs cheaper in Neu-Ulm.) Neu-Ulm survived the political upheaval after the First World War with the transition to the republic relatively easily as well as the billeting of hundreds of refugees. In 1919 and in the following years, the demand for trained craftsmen always exceeded the number of job applications. After 1920, the number of industrial settlements shot up. Suddenly, the withdrawal of the soldiers even had a positive effect. The area that became vacant, the numerous existing tracks and the almost unlimited possibilities for expansion exerted a great attraction. The city's top (Lord Mayor Nuißl ) knew how to use the opportunities. The population continued to grow and the economic upheaval was overcome. Neu-Ulm was a wealthy city.

The concert hall in Neu-Ulm was demolished in 2012 in 2011

In the 1930s, Neu-Ulm became a garrison again . During the National Socialist era, the Reinhardt barracks were built on the corner of Reuttier and Finninger Strasse from 1934 . The engineer battalion 45 was stationed there. The Ludendorff barracks were built on Memminger Strasse from 1936. Parts of the 5th Artillery Regiment were housed there. The city had applied heavily for both barracks construction projects. In 1937 the air force took over the airfield in the district of Schwaighofen and expanded it into a second order port of operations.

Between the two world wars, Neu-Ulm had to fend off emphatic efforts at incorporation on the part of Ulm. It was thanks to the skill of the long-time Mayor of Neu-Ulm (1919 to 1945) and later honorary citizen Nuißl that the NSDAP Mayor of Ulms, Friedrich Foerster , even with ideological arguments (“the continued existence of the current state has lost all sense in the National Socialist state “) Failed. The economic development of Neu-Ulm attracted the people of Ulm to annex and reunite. The bourgeois-conservative Nuißl tacted and antichambered so successfully that Neu-Ulm remained independent. From Ulm's point of view, the concluding remark of a summary of the relationship between Ulm and Neu-Ulm on July 10, 1948 states , among other things: “At all times, Neu-Ulm has understood how to get out of Ulm what was possible. That was already the case during Kollmann's time and even more so during Nuißl's time. "

In the course of the Second World War , Neu-Ulm was increasingly the target of air raids by the Allied forces because some important industrial companies were located here. The first air raid on Neu-Ulm train station took place on March 16, 1944. On March 1, 1945 (Mission 857), 1,228 bombers and 488 fighter planes were launched against southern German cities in England . During the major attack on Ulm with 420 B-17 bombers, parts of Neu-Ulm were also hit between 1:17 p.m. and 1:46 p.m. What had not yet been destroyed fell victim to the last, devastating attack on March 4, 1945 (Mission 863). The bombing by 357 B-17 bombers lasted from 10.02 to 11:04 a.m. and also hit the Pfuhler west. 80 percent of Neu-Ulm was destroyed by explosive and incendiary bombs as well as the subsequent conflagration: 43 percent of the residential buildings, 86 percent of the commercial buildings and entire streets. All bridges over the Danube and thus the connection between Neu-Ulm and Ulm were blown up by the Wehrmacht on the basis of the Nero order . In the weeks that followed, up to the invasion of the 3rd US Army combat troops on April 24, 1945, isolated air and low-flying attacks with gunfire took place. 169 men and 125 women from Neu-Ulm lost their lives during the hail of bombs. A total of 757 men in the city died in the chaos of war or were reported missing. Around 5000 people were evacuated to the surrounding area during the war. In the end, only 9,590 people lived in Neu-Ulm. Before the war began, there were 14,571.

The city was facing a new beginning - it was one of the most heavily damaged cities in Bavaria. Many displaced people found a new home in Neu-Ulm. Considerations for a completely new construction of the city were dropped. Above all, there was a lack of funds.

In 1951 soldiers moved into the city again: the US Army . The former Reinhardt barracks became the Nelson barracks and the Ludendorff barracks became the Wiley barracks . From 1952 to 1956, a residential area, the Vorfield Housing Area, was built on the Ringstrasse for the soldiers and their relatives . In 1983 Pershing II missiles and the associated nuclear warheads were stationed on the American site . Neu-Ulm was one end of the human chain that led via Mutlangen, among others, with which thousands of peace demonstrators protested against the stationing. Almost 40,000 people took part in the final protest concert on the Volksfestplatz near the Wiley barracks.

As part of the troop reduction after the German reunification and the end of the Cold War, which was US - Garrison deducted 1,991th The withdrawal of the Americans made Neu-Ulm military-free again and had similar consequences as the loss of the garrison after the First World War, both in an economic sense and through the legacies. Jobs (civil servants) and consumers fell away, entire housing estates (apron) became vacant. This opened up opportunities, but also harbored dangers. The quick allocation of the former soldiers' apartments, especially to ethnic German repatriates (from the former Soviet Union), resulted in social hot spots in certain areas (for example in advance ).

In 1999 Neu-Ulm was badly affected by the Whitsun floods when the Iller and Danube flooded the entire city center west of the market square. The Atlantis leisure pool, which opened just a year earlier, also sank in the floods. The city has been building improved flood protection for several years.

In terms of urban planning, the aim is to integrate the former barracks into the city. The tax office and the Neu-Ulm police are housed in the converted buildings of the former Nelson barracks. The area of ​​the American Wiley barracks became the new Neu-Ulm district of Wiley and now houses residential and commercial space. Part of the barracks buildings will be retained - the officers' quarters will be used as student dormitories . The former officers' mess on the banks of the Danube became the property of the city of Neu-Ulm and was leased to a private restaurant operator. In addition, the new building for the Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences was built in the Wiley . The groundbreaking ceremony took place in 2006.

Administrative organization

On January 1, 1908, the previously independent community of Offenhausen was incorporated into Neu-Ulm. On July 1, 1972, part of the Gerlenhofen community was added. In the following years Finningen was incorporated on July 1, 1975, Hausen on April 1, 1976 and Holzschwang, Pfuhl with Burlafingen, which was incorporated on July 1, 1972, and Steinheim, which was incorporated on January 1, 1976, and Reutti on June 1, 1977. As a result, the city expanded to its present-day area of ​​around 80 square kilometers.

Neu-Ulm was an independent city until July 1, 1972 , when it was merged with the district of Neu-Ulm as part of the regional reform in Bavaria and made a major district town . On July 26, 2017, the Neu-Ulm city council decided to work out an application for the district town to leave the Neu-Ulm district. On March 21, 2018, the Neu-Ulm City Council decided with 32 to 10 votes to apply for district freedom. The intended exit is referred to as Nuxit in both local and national media . The approval of the Bavarian State Government and the Bavarian State Parliament is required for an exit . The citizens' initiative “NUXIT? That's not how it works! " With one filed on April 19, 2018 public petition , the decision should be stopped. The Bavarian Ministry of the Interior rejected the application for freedom of the district on June 4, 2019.

Traffic project Neu-Ulm 21

The Neu-Ulm 21 project, which began in 2003, was officially completed on November 24, 2007. In connection with this, a new train station was built ; the number of tracks was reduced to four, and these were relocated in a trough. A central transfer point (ZUP) connects the train traffic to the local public transport (ÖPNV). The renovation of the Neu-Ulm train station (Neu-Ulm 21 project) has made an undeveloped area of ​​around 18 hectares available for the urban development of Neu-Ulm city center after the state horticultural show in 2008 has been held . The Glacis-Galerie shopping center with around 25,000 m² of retail space was to be built by the end of 2010 on the areas north of the railway facing the city center , but construction did not begin until 2013, and the opening took place on March 19, 2015. The remaining areas on both sides of the new railway line will be used for residential construction close to the city center.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2019 the city grew from 45,116 to 58,978 by 13,862 inhabitants or by 30.7%.

Judaism

In the middle of the 19th century, some Jews settled in the young garrison town. In 1910 there were 96 Jewish residents in Neu-Ulm (1925: 76, 1933: 44). In Neu-Ulm there was a Jewish community until 1942 as a subsidiary of the Jewish community of Ichenhausen in the neighboring district of Günzburg . The Neu-Ulm Jews did not have their own synagogue , but shared the synagogue of the Israelite community in Ulm . In Neu-Ulm's main cemetery, a burial ground has been used as a Jewish cemetery since 1875 until the present day .

Islam

In addition, there is an Islamist scene in Neu-Ulm that is monitored by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution . The multicultural house , which is considered the center of the scene , was closed at the end of 2005 by the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior .

Culture and sights

Theater Neu-Ulm 2013

theatre

Neu-Ulm does not maintain a municipal stage, but it supports the AuGuSTheater Neu-Ulm , today: Theater Neu-Ulm , a professional stage founded in 1994 and located in Neu-Ulm since 1997, member of the private theater group in the German Stage Association. Until June 2012, the Neu-Ulm theater resided at Silcherstraße 2, in the concert hall . The building, completed in 1902, no longer met today's requirements of a meeting place and also had massive deficiencies in terms of energy. The renovation would have swallowed up millions, and the rent that would then have to be demanded could hardly have been earned by an artistic company. The Neu-Ulm Theater was forced to move out and move. The venue, which was converted from a drugstore branch into a theater in just five months, has since been located at Hermann-Köhl-Straße 3 (Theaterplatz). The Topolino puppet theater, which is also supported by the city, is run by freelance professional artists. It does not have a permanent venue and gives guest performances at various locations.

Museums

The municipal museums on Petrusplatz , only opened in 1999, house the Edwin Scharff Museum and, since summer 2009, Bavaria's first municipal children's museum. Both are connected to one another via a foyer. In the inner courtyard, in which there are two larger than life sculptures by Edwin Scharff , theater performances and concerts take place in summer. There are regular tours, a museum workshop (for kindergartens and schools), the open museum workshop (for children aged 6–12) and the atelier in the museum (courses for adults).

Edwin Scharff Museum

Edwin Scharff Museum

The Edwin Scharff Museum is housed in a bourgeois house from the turn of the century, the collection gives an overview of Edwin Scharff's work . Paintings, drawings, watercolors and especially sculptures show his path from the beginning to his later work. Special exhibitions complement and enrich the work show. Edwin Scharff, along with Wilhelm Lehmbruck , Ernst Barlach and Georg Kolbe, is one of the well-known German sculptors of the first half of the 20th century.

Children's Museum

A newly designed children's museum is presented on 500 square meters. Here children and young people can become viewers and players, they should discover history and art, science and technology. In the children's museum they can learn while playing - and where adults also feel they are in good hands. That is why this new, child-friendly place of learning is now operating in the redesigned and renovated Edwin Scharff Museum Children's Museum - experience rooms . Accordingly, a very varied program is offered that also includes elements from other art fields (performing games, music).

The Walther Collection

The Walther Collection , a private collection of international and contemporary video and photo art, has been located in the Neu-Ulm district of Burlafingen since 2010 .

Also worth mentioning is the Pfuhl Local History Museum , which deals with the village life and work in the late 19th and 20th centuries in and around Neu-Ulm. The geological collection housed in the Neu-Ulm town hall offers a detailed overview of the geological development of the Ulm and Neu-Ulm areas.

Reptile and turtle zoo

The privately operated reptile and turtle zoo Neu-Ulm , located in the Schwaighofen district, has been open to the public since 2005 . An expansion took place in 2008. He keeps about 500 animals in 200 species.

Among other things, the collection of the Heimatmuseum Neu-Ulm is located here. A permanent exhibition on the city's history is located in front of the city archives on the ground floor of the city hall.

music

The municipal music school has a very good reputation, based on great successes in competitions such as Jugend musiziert and many innovative campaigns including a pop academy for young musicians. The most important and largest orchestra is the Neu-Ulm city band under the direction of Thomas Hartmann. A youth wind orchestra has been affiliated with the town band since 2007. The ensemble, comprising around 50 young people, is directed by Manfred Richter, a former trumpeter from the Ulm Theater Orchestra. It cooperates closely with the Neu-Ulm Music School, has achieved success in rating games within a short period of time and has made concert tours not only to other European countries, but also to Japan. The church musicians of the Petruskirche have a considerable reputation - church music director Wolfgang Gütinger leads a 40-member gospel choir - as well as St. Johann Baptist . Here Joseph Kelemen is the deanery musician and at the same time an internationally acclaimed interpreter of 17th century organ music.

Buildings

Church of St. Johann Baptist
  • A well-known early example of modern sacred architecture is the Church of St. Johann Baptist , which was built as a garrison church in the 19th century . From 1922 to 1926 the church architect Dominikus Böhm arranged for a renovation. - The facade consists partly of stones from the broken parts of the federal fortress. In 1985 Dominikus Böhm's son, Gottfried Böhm , designed the square around the church and town hall that has been preserved to this day.
  • Another sacred building worth seeing is the Evangelical Petruskirche .
  • The house for the factory owner Johannes (Hans) Römer, run as a hotel in the 21st century under the name Römervilla , is an early work by Hugo Häring (built 1915–1919) , which completely submits to the criteria of his teacher Theodor Fischer . It combines all architectural styles in exterior and interior construction. Häring used the foundation of a block house of the federal fortress, which is the only part of a block house today.
  • On November 24, 2007, the new Neu-Ulm train station officially went into operation.
  • Also known is the brewery on the Danube, located in the immediate vicinity of the Gänstorbrücke. The building, which was initially used as a military casino for the Nazi military, became an officers' mess for the US armed forces in the 1950s . The main parts of the building have been preserved and have only been carefully converted into a house brewery with public gastronomic use. A demolition is planned (as of 2019).
  • The Caponniere 4 , part of the former Federal Fortification Ulm, was excavated in 1994 and restored for the State Garden Show of 2008. Works 4 to 9 as well as the hospital and the railroad block house of Works 2 are almost completely preserved. Plants 4 to 8 form a central part of the Glacis city ​​park . In front of Caponniere 6 there is an open-air stage where performances and concerts take place regularly. In addition, the Vorwerke 12 Schwaighofen (in Starkfeld), 13 Ludwigsvorfeste (in the Wileys) and 14 Illerkanal (at the Neu-Ulm exit in the middle of the B28) have been preserved. Base 58 in Muthenhölzle and parts of base 63 near the former Riedhöfe have been preserved from the later imperial fortress, as well as the subterranean rooms of trenches 66 and 69 (both built over) and 74 (almost buried), and below ground the infantry room of the infantry base Kapellenberg (base 70 ). There is also the gun carriage of the secondary artillery depot near Offenhausen, which is now part of the old-timer factory.
  • The so-called island , built in 1375, surrounded by the Danube and the Little Danube , served the city of Ulm as a bridgehead for the Herd Bridge. The island has belonged to Neu-Ulm since the separation from Ulm. At the north-eastern tip of the island, the Schwal , there is a memorial created by Edwin Scharff in 1932 for the fallen of the First World War. It consists of limestone blocks that are piled up to form a tower decorated with bas-reliefs and come from broken parts of the fortress.
  • The Edwin-Scharff-Haus , named after Edwin Scharff, is a congress and event center opened in 1977 directly on the Danube. In addition to halls for events, it includes a hotel and a restaurant.
  • The Neu-Ulm Concert Hall , built 1900–1901 according to the plans of the Ulm architect Paul Kienzle , was for a long time the only large hall in Neu-Ulm and as such was the social center and location for parties, political events, party and trade union rallies, etc. According to During the Second World War it served as a replacement cinema, meeting place, place of dance events, choir and rock concerts (the Scorpions had their first appearance in the region here). In the 1980s it housed the Theater Neu-Ulm , which went bankrupt in 1995 , and since 1997 it has been the venue of the AuGuSTheater Neu-Ulm , although the front part has always been used for different gastronomic purposes. The entire building was owned by the brewery until the beginning of 2005 and then passed into private ownership. After the owner changed again at the end of 2011, it was decided to demolish the building. The AuGuSTheater Neu-Ulm moved to Hermann-Köhl-Straße 3 (Theaterplatz) in summer 2012. The entire area was rebuilt, with the new building also being home to a restaurant. There is no longer a meeting place.

Parks and squares

Event island in the Glacis

Until the State Horticultural Show in 2008, the Glacis Park , part of the facilities of the former Federal Fortress of Ulm built on the right of the Danube , was the only park. Two of the originally four Neu-Ulm fortress fronts have been almost completely preserved between the middle of Bastion 5 and the Jahnufer. These fronts, on which the characteristics of these fortress structures can be read very clearly, developed into the much used Neu-Ulm city park (also called "the Glacis "), which is a positive relic of the Baden-Württemberg state horticultural show of 1980 that was held together with Ulm. Particularly noteworthy is an event island with amphitheater- like auditoriums in front of Caponniere 6, which is regularly played with a wide variety of activities (from rock concerts to choir singing) in the season suitable for open-air events and attracts up to 2500 visitors depending on the event. For the 2008 State Garden Show, a park was created on the former site of the furniture factory around Caponniere 4 and another around the Ludwigsvorfeste in the former Wiley Barracks. Events such as jazz concerts and exhibitions have been taking place on and in Caponniere 4 since the restoration that went along with the park.

Art -Maxplatz

On April 13, 2008, the new Maxplatz was festively opened. It is the first place in the region that has not only been upgraded with art (sculpture, fountain), but also designed as a total work of art by just one artist. It was created by Jozef Legrand , a Belgian living in Berlin who has made a name for himself with various works for public spaces (for example with the design of the plaza for the Flemish Parliament in Brussels) and has already received several awards. Maxplatz formed the launch pad for the Green Bridge at the State Garden Show 2008, which ran straight through Neu-Ulm from the Danube .

societies

The city has a lively club life with numerous cultural, sports and traditional clubs.

The Neu-Ulm Citizens' Association, founded in 1842, is the oldest Neu-Ulm association. The clubhouse, threatened with demolition in the course of the fundamental renovation and redevelopment of the entire area, is located on the corner of Luitpoldstrasse and Silcherstrasse. The club life has almost come to a standstill, the majority of the approximately 250 members still plead for dissolution.

One of the largest clubs in Neu-Ulm is TSV Pfuhl 1894 e. V. with almost 2500 members in eleven departments. The gymnastics department is one of the most successful departments in gymnastics and sports clubs. The gymnasts of the first team do gymnastics in the First Artistic Gymnastics League. The youngsters won numerous championship titles at Bavarian and German championships. Other departments also produced Bavarian and German masters.

TSV Neu-Ulm is also one of the larger Neu-Ulm sports clubs , with departments such as football (greatest success: participation in the league), basketball and American football .

The largest association in Neu-Ulm is the German Alpine Club Section Neu-Ulm with over 8,800 members. With the sparkassendome DAV Kletterwelt, it has been operating one of the largest climbing halls in southern Germany since 2011. The club's successes include two world championship titles at the last World Roller Games from the athlete team Manuel Zörlein, Ann-Krystina Wanzke, Marina Seitz and Sebastian Schwab.

The Snooker Club Neu-Ulm played in the 1st Snooker Bundesliga in the 2012/13 season .

The TTC Neu-Ulm , which was founded in 2019, has been competing in the table tennis Bundesliga since the 2019/20 season .

The Ulm / Neu-Ulm local group of the Swabian Alb Association , founded in 1889, was awarded the Eichendorff plaque in 2005.

Regular events

Living Way of the Cross (2011)
  • The weekly market (Wednesdays and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m.) on Petrusplatz is a regular meeting place and a popular source of shopping. It is also supplied by suppliers from Lake Constance and the Allgäu, even from Oberstdorf. The products on offer such as fruit, meat, cheese, dairy products, fish and potatoes are mainly produced by smaller and micro-businesses. Because of the associated product quality and its manageability, many people from Ulm prefer the Neu-Ulm market to their own.
  • Rathausplatz and Petrusplatz are livened up almost all year round with mostly high-profile activities: for example, on microbrewers ' day , at the artist and pottery market , at the city ​​festival or at the King Ludwig Festival . The city offers the annual folk festival (a two-week hype); the Neu-Ulm Orchid Days attract many interested parties every second year in spring on three days.
  • International Danube Festival : The Danube Country Festival with cultural, musical and culinary events on the banks of the Danube in Ulm and Neu-Ulm was first celebrated in 1998 and has been held every two years since then.
  • The days of encounter have been an integral part of the Ulm / Neu-Ulm cultural calendar since 1975. They are an inter-city event under the patronage of the respective Lord Mayor. Every year between October and November, numerous events are held to promote the exchange of cultures and getting to know one another. The various offers are coordinated by the Working Group for Foreign Citizens (AKAM) in Neu-Ulm. The cities of Ulm / Neu-Ulm participate with a grant.
  • The Living Way of the Cross is performed every year on Good Friday .

Anecdotes, curiosities, rumors

  • When you came across the Gänstorbrücke or the Herdbrücke from Ulm to Neu-Ulm at the end of the 19th century, the first shop on Neu-Ulmer, i.e. Bavarian soil, was a carpet shop called Here begins the Balkans .
  • For a long time, in the middle of the bridge, the state border between Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, the sign Free State of Bavaria with the Bavarian Lion stood. It was often secretly dismantled because the lion looked to Bavaria and stretched its rear end with its tail pointing upwards towards Ulm. That was seen as an affront, because he obviously wanted to say: "Ulmer, lick my ass!" - In fact, the sign was a popular souvenir among the US soldiers stationed in Neu-Ulm. The mayor of Neu-Ulm therefore put together a small supply of signs that he could give the departing American site commanders as a farewell; so they did not need to “get” them elsewhere.
  • Although it appears much more bourgeois than the student city of Ulm, Neu-Ulm was home to numerous pirate stations in the 1980s and 1990s , some of which were very popular. This was related to the border location. While the Baden-Württemberg radio surveillance was stationed directly in Ulm, the responsible Bavarian office was located around an hour's drive away. So the ether pirates often remained unmolested for years. The most famous pirate station was Radio Canale Grande, which was legalized after eight years of broadcasting - curiously, by the Baden-Württemberg state media authority.
  • Many supply and disposal facilities in Ulm were previously on the right bank of the Danube; so the Wasenmeister (flayer, skinner) also had his place here. He was also responsible for pounding suicides into a barrel and then sending them down the Danube.
  • At the height of the peace movement and the protests against the Pershing rockets (also stationed in Neu-Ulm) , the human chain formed by tens of thousands, a human chain from Stuttgart to Neu-Ulm , came about in 1983 . The conclusion was a mammoth event organized by the concert organizer Fritz Rau on the Neu-Ulm Volksfestplatz, opposite the main gate of the Wiley-Barracks (the successor to the Ludendorff barracks built in 1936) on Memminger Straße. In addition to Konstantin Wecker and other stars, Peter Maffay also performed . Rau ("If you don't organize any peace concerts today, you won't be organizing any more concerts in ten years!") Had invited the German rocker because his audience should also be won over to the anti-Pershing protest. As soon as Maffay was on stage, a large banner appeared in the crowd of around 40,000: “Dear Pershing II than Peter Maffay”. He understood and after his first song he left the stage, exasperated.
  • When the mayor of Neu-Ulm was elected in 1995, there was a lack of clarity about the winner. After several counts, CSU District Administrator Schick declared Beate Merk the election winner with a three-vote lead. The Augsburg Administrative Court rejected a challenge to the defeated SPD.

Air pollution control

According to the Federal Immission Control Ordinance , the limit value for fine dust PM10 of 50 µg / m³ (24-hour value) may be exceeded a maximum of 35 times a year. Due to the deposits in the lungs and the additional pollution, the particles pose a serious health risk. In 2006, the limit value was exceeded 39 times at the measuring station in Gabelsberger Strasse. Therefore a clean air and action plan had to be drawn up for Neu-Ulm. In August 2009 the action plan was announced and put into effect. That is why an environmental zone was set up in Neu-Ulm in 2009 . It extends over the Neu-Ulm city center and is limited by the ring road, the federal highways 10 and 28 to the state border (Danube), the Danube to the level of Kantstraße, along the Neu-Ulm – Memmingen railway line to Europastraße, Reuttierstraße and Ringstraße via Allgäuer Ring. The motorway-like B 10 is part of the environmental zone from the Neu-Ulm Schützenstraße exit in the direction of Ulm.

In 2009, the B 10 / B 28 was also closed to trucks over 7.5 t from the Neu-Ulm Schützenstraße exit.
