Two worlds meet above the Münsterplatz square in Ulm: the delicate stonework of Ulm Minster and the clear, white lines of the modern townhouse. Past and present meet here in a quiet dialogue that culminates in the blue of the sky. The tower of the cathedral, the highest in the world, rises into the sky like a dream of the Middle Ages turned to stone. Every spire, every figure tells of the longing for the divine, of the patience and devotion of countless hands that have moulded it over the centuries.
The curved façade of the townhouse stretches out in front of it - simple, bright, almost weightless. It embodies a different kind of longing: for clarity, for modernity, for a space for the people of today. The Gothic splendour and the minimalist modernity stand side by side, yet not in conflict, but in a harmonious tension that gives the square its unique character.
Anyone who lingers here senses more than just architectural contrasts. It is the experience of a city that preserves its history and at the same time looks to the future. Ulm, a place where heaven and earth, time and space, past and future come together in stone poetry.
