Rosengarten

Rosengarten in Ulm sits beside the Danube, where roses occupy a garden shaped by colour and planting. The Danube frames this rose garden beside the city of Ulm.

The site was once called the Garden of Misery because a prison and a ship landing area stood nearby. Its earlier name marks a very different setting.

The garden now covers a planned space where roses, perennials, and lavender create varied colours and scents. A revived fountain adds another visible feature.

Rose planting follows a specific colour concept, turning the arrangement into a clear expression of garden design. Colour gives the planting its visible order.

The garden’s transformation began with an early rose garden and later included redesign, new planting, and fountain restoration. The friends of Ulm’s roses supported the redesign.

Rosengarten brings together the Danube, a rose collection, lavender, perennials, and a carefully maintained fountain. The garden links nature with the history of Ulm.
