Caponniere 4
Caponniere 4 stands in Neu-Ulm, beside Glacis Park and opposite the Neu-Ulm railway station. Its restored fortification forms part of the Federal Fortress Ulm, a nineteenth-century defensive system built by the German Confederation.
The wider fortress was one of five structures intended to protect the border against France, and its thick walls show the military architecture of that period. Today, the building serves as a cultural venue, hosting jazz matinées, concerts and art exhibitions from May to September.
Theodor von Hildebrandt Platz lies nearby, giving the historic walls a distinctly urban setting. Free public events bring music and art into a former defensive position, creating a meeting place between Neu-Ulm’s military past and cultural life.
