Description

The Albert Einstein Discovery Center in Ulm is set to become a groundbreaking public institution celebrating Einstein’s unparalleled contributions to science, technology, pacifism, humanism, and international understanding. This immersive experience will bring his legacy to life through modern, interactive, and multimedia exhibits that invite visitors to explore his genius from every angle.

The center will showcase Einstein’s life and work in connection with Ulm’s history, demonstrate how his theories shape current technologies, and present hands-on experiments at a cutting-edge Science Center. Workshops, lectures, and experiential exhibits will highlight not only his scientific achievements but also his profound humanity and universal values. The bold design echoes the essence of Einstein’s physical theories with its flowing, curved lines. The building is anchored by the concept of a “saddle point” – a geometric form that is minimized in one direction and maximized in another – allowing the structure to organically connect with its surroundings.

The center’s dimensions are as impressive as its purpose. With a total floor area of 7,800 square meters spread across five levels, a height of 50 meters, and underground technical and parking facilities, the building makes optimal use of the site. Located at the former headquarters of Stadtwerke Ulm/Neu-Ulm (SWU), this landmark will transform the cityscape while honoring the birthplace of the world’s most famous scientist.
