About location

Weißenhorn combines a compact medieval town centre with the open farmland of Bavarian Swabia in a way that reflects its position between the Iller and the Danube. South of Ulm, the town stands in a gently rolling setting of fields and woodland, while Flugplatz Weißenhorn (EDNA) provides a base for local general aviation. Weißenhorn was granted town rights in 1314, and its long association with the Fugger family is recalled by the Fuggerschloss. The former residence stands near the historic centre, whose streets and older buildings preserve the scale of a small Swabian town. Rail and road connections link Weißenhorn with Ulm, but the surrounding agricultural land remains central to its character.

Weissenhorn (Weißenhorn) occupies the Roth valley in Bavarian Swabia, southeast of Ulm. The town belongs to the Neu-Ulm district and sits amid the gently rolling farmland of the Iller–Lech region, where local waterways run toward the Danube. Within its former fortifications, the old centre retains a compact pattern of streets, gabled houses and historic gates. The Renaissance Fuggerschloss recalls the influence of the Augsburg-based Fugger family, whose commercial power shaped much of the region’s past. Its modest scale and preserved architecture give Weissenhorn the character of a traditional Swabian town. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Bavarian Swabia.

Bavaria
Region Bavaria

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Country Germany

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
