Neu-Ulm: Bavarian Twin, Bundeswehr Garrison, and the Right-Bank Danube Neighbour
Neu-Ulm has a population around 51,000 and lies on the right (Bavarian) bank of the Danube, directly across from Ulm in Baden-Wuerttemberg. The two cities form a continuous urban area divided by both the river and a state boundary. The Glacis, a former military training ground along the old fortress walls, is now a landscaped park. The Edwin-Scharff-Museum, named after the Neu-Ulm-born sculptor, shows modern art and a children's museum.
The Bundeswehr has maintained a significant garrison in Neu-Ulm; the Wiley-Kaserne was previously a US Army base. The Ratiopharm Arena hosts basketball (Ratiopharm Ulm plays here despite the team's name). The Donauinsel between the two cities provides recreation. While Ulm has the Muenster and the historic centre, Neu-Ulm contributes the Bavarian administrative framework and additional commercial areas to the twin-city dynamic. Adult companionship follows Bavaria's regulatory approach.
