Why was the Federal Fortress obsolete just a few days after its completion? What does the church of St. Johann Baptist have in common with a spaceship? And why does no water run in the water tower nowadays, but maybe tears of joy? And of course we won't miss the beautiful view on the other side of the Danube with the highest church tower in the world. Because the view of Ulm is truly beautiful - no one can deny that. But there is much more to discover in Neu-Ulm!
