Where to stay in Söflingen
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Söflingen trades centrality for calm. The blocks around Söflingen Abbey and the Franziskanerresidenz Söflingen make a quiet base within reach of Ulm, though the district's own hotel stock is modest against what the city centre carries. Near the Lukaskirche the streets turn residential.
Anyone here for the Christuskirche or the Sonnenbunker memorial will find both within an easy walk of the abbey precinct.

About Söflingen
What are the main landmarks in Söflingen?
Söflingen Abbey gives the district its centre of gravity, and the Franziskanerresidenz Söflingen keeps the Franciscan name on the same ground. Two parish churches come next. The Christuskirche and the Lukaskirche each anchor their own stretch of streets.
The Sonnenbunker memorial completes the set, and it carries Ulm's name rather than the district's.
What is the history of Söflingen?
The Franciscans held this ground. Söflingen Abbey and the Franziskanerresidenz Söflingen record a monastic presence that ran for centuries before the district took its place inside Ulm, and the street plan around the old precinct still shows it. Parish life came afterwards.
The Christuskirche, the Lukaskirche and the Sonnenbunker memorial all belong to the Söflingen that came after.
Where is Söflingen?
Söflingen occupies its own corner of Ulm, its street pattern still gathered around the monastic grounds of Söflingen Abbey.
