Art Competition Seeks to Transform Ulm's Controversial Reichsadler

A damaged Nazi-era eagle at Ulm's tax office is set for artistic reinterpretation, sparking significant interest from the creative community.

The Reichsadler at Ulm's tax office, a remnant from the Nazi era, has sustained damage, believed to be due to age or weather conditions.
Authorities are investigating potential vandalism, though it appears the damage may have occurred naturally.
A competition to redesign the eagle has attracted around 70 artists, with the aim of transforming the symbol into a peace monument.
Selected artists will present their concepts by mid-2025, with the winning design receiving a 15,000 Euro commission for implementation.
The initiative, proposed by SPD legislator Martin Rivoir, aims to foster public engagement and historical reflection through art.
