Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

Hiking

The "Leaning House", probably the most photographed former town house in Ulm, dates back to 1406. In 1443, the large late Gothic extension to the building was carried out. Before that, the house was only about half as long. The building began to lean in the 17th century. Firstly, the subsoil gave way towards the Blau, and secondly, residents sawed through supporting beams during improper renovations. The result: even when sober, they had to cope with a significant lean from then on.

Hiking

The crooked house in its current form was built in 1406 on a gravel base. The building was repeatedly softened by the water of the Blau, so that the south façade sank further and further over the years. The collapse of the house was prevented by concrete foundations that were installed in the 19th century.
It is often referred to as the most crooked hotel in the world and made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 1997.

The Schiefe Haus is one of the oldest buildings in Ulm. Extended by several conversions, it is also more and more bagged.
