Storm the castle

"Storm the Castle" transforms the Wilhelmsburg into a vibrant cultural area every summer. Between impressive fortress architecture and modern scene flair, an open space is created for concerts, creative formats, and summer encounters. Every summer, the Wilhelmsburg becomes a meeting point for contemporary culture and fresh impulses. "Storm the Castle" uses the historical federal fortress as an open, experimental space – a place where Ulm makes its identity visible between impressive architectural culture and urban creative spirit. The program changes annually and combines concerts, pop-up formats, installations, and workshops into a lively overall experience. The atmosphere of the 19th-century fortress meets modern cultural impulses. The experience is complemented by a diverse selection of street food and gastronomy: food trucks and regional vendors create delightful breaks between concerts, workshops, and open-air moments. Whether it’s relaxed summer evenings, inspiring art moments, or a view over the twin city – "Storm the Castle" shows how history becomes alive and tangible today.
