The Sonnenbunker-Denkmal in Ulm commemorates people who died during an air raid in the Second World War. The memorial preserves a wartime loss.

During the attack, residents sought shelter in the vaulted cellar of the former brewery at Gasthaus Sonne. The cellar became the site of a devastating strike.

The monument connects Söflingen and western Ulm with a specific chapter of the city’s wartime history. The former Gasthaus Sonne anchors the event’s historical setting.

Ulm sculptors Georg and Eugen Scherer designed the Sonnenbunker-Denkmal in 1950, giving the memorial a clearly identified artistic origin. Their monument presents the Archangel Michael with a flaming sword.

The figure represents triumph over death, while its flaming sword gives the memorial a direct visual focus. This symbol links remembrance with hope for peace.

The Sonnenbunker-Denkmal records both the victims of the air raid and the place where people sought protection. Its history belongs to Ulm’s Söflingen district and the memory of wartime civilian experience.
