Fischerviertel Ulm

The Fischerviertel is the historic fishermen's and tanners' quarter of Ulm, threaded by channels of the small Blau river as it flows toward the Danube. Its half-timbered houses lean over the water on crooked frames, including the famously tilted Crooked House, once an inn and now leaning dramatically over the stream. Narrow cobbled lanes, little bridges and old millraces recall the trades that depended on the flowing water. The quarter sits just below the towering Gothic minster with the tallest church spire in the world.
