Neu-Ulm celebrates diversity: A film about the future and encounters!

Something is happening in Neu-Ulm! The city has undergone an exciting transformation in recent years and is now younger and more attractive than ever. This is impressively documented in the film “Neu-Ulm Flight Zone – From Today to Tomorrow”, which was produced by Erwin Franz and Günter Merkle. The strip celebrates the anniversary “150 Years of the City of Neu-Ulm” and offers a lively portrait of the city, which consists of 14 districts. The film is a kind of look back at the last few years and presents the diverse encounters with residents who are committed to better coexistence, be they those involved in neighborhood assistance, cheering gymnasts or conservationists who care for rare birds. There are also insights into the lives of colorful traditional costume wearers, aspiring footballers and young pop musicians.

Neu-Ulm has reinvented itself in a wonderful way while preserving the roots of its over 150-year history. The city is increasingly described as a place of change, full of forward-looking projects and initiatives that involve the wider population. An outstanding example of this is the “Diversity Finds the City” initiative, which focuses on the idea of ​​participation. All of this shows how important the city's diversity is, which is seen as an enrichment and an opportunity. The different biographies and perspectives of its citizens make Neu-Ulm exciting and unique.

Features of the city

A highlight of the film is a visit to a new kindergarten and a museum that recreates old country life. All of these elements come together to create an image of Neu-Ulm that is characterized by the exchange and active participation of its citizens. The mayor also has his say and reports on the striking water tower, a real attraction in the city. Neu-Ulm invites all citizens, whether long-term residents or newcomers, to get involved and take part in healthy city life. When asked how important it is to help shape the community, it becomes clear that citizens themselves want to take more responsibility in decisions about their community.

Municipalities are facing new challenges, particularly against the background of demographic change, which will increase in the coming decades. Lower population numbers, declining economic strength and the need to modernize outdated infrastructure are issues that also concern Neu-Ulm. In addition, the influx of refugees brings with it new tasks that require social commitment and active participation. The aim here is to bring together and expand local skills.

In summary, Neu-Ulm shows an impressive picture of a city in transition. The diversity that the residents bring with their different backgrounds and skills is seen as the key to a vibrant and sustainable society. Anyone who would like to find out more about the changes and offers will find numerous inspirations and points of reference in the film and the city's initiatives. This is exactly what makes Neu-Ulm a place worth living in for all generations.
