Ulm on the Danube and the city’s fusion of art and industry
The essay extols Ulm on the Danube as a city where ancient crafts thrive and beauty emerges from blended nature and architecture. It contrasts the artist engineer with the untamed planner, lauding river and hill design, preserved walls, and the Rathaus and Muenster as central symbols. It traces Ulm’s landownership shift from laissez faire to regulated growth, highlighting Mayor von Wagner’s view on public land as a tool for welfare, housing, and controlled development.
