Four-day street food market on Südlicher Münsterplatz with regional vendors from Ulm and the surrounding area
The "Unter Ulmern" Streetfood Market is one of the regular highlights of late summer events in Ulm. The organizer is Ulmer City Marketing e.V. — an association of Ulm city center retailers who conceptualized the format as a mix of a street food market, a city meeting point, and a tourist magnet. The location on Südlicher Münsterplatz — directly below the world's tallest church tower (Ulm Minster, 161.53 m) — combines culinary experience with Southern Germany's most spectacular open-air backdrop.
The concept focuses on regional street food vendors from Ulm, Neu-Ulm, and the surrounding area. The list of participating vendors includes a diverse range of offerings: falafel (Levantine cuisine), tacos and burritos (Mexico), burgers in gourmet and classic varieties, Asian curries (Thailand, India), exotic and vegan specialties, plus sweet stalls with crêpes, waffles, churros, ice cream, and coffee specialties. Unlike large street food festival tours, the Ulm format emphasizes local roots — the vendors have a connection to the city, many operate food truck concepts or small restaurants in the region.
The opening hours make the market a meeting point for different target groups: Thursday starts at 4 PM as an after-work gathering until 10 PM; Friday opens at lunchtime (12 PM) and closes late (11 PM) — the big weekend kickoff; Saturday is the main day from 11 AM to 11 PM; Sunday is a relaxed closing day from 11 AM to 9 PM. The mix of professionals after work, weekend guests, and tourists creates different market atmospheres over the four days.
A special feature: Many vendors accept the digital Ulmer City Gutschein — a city marketing initiative that keeps money circulating in Ulm's city center. This connection between the street food format and local downtown promotion is typical of Ulmer City Marketing and distinguishes the market from purely commercial street food tour events.
Ulm (a city district in the state of Baden-Württemberg, 08421, around 130,000 inhabitants) is a major Danube city at the transition to the Swabian Jura. Münsterplatz with Ulm Minster (world's tallest church spire at 161.53 m) is the city's geographical and symbolic center — and one of Southern Germany's largest minster squares. This unusually large square makes it ideal for markets and events: Schwörmontag, Christmas Market, Streetfood Market — all utilize the unique combination of a wide square and a cathedral backdrop.
From September 10th to 13th, 2026, Ulmer City Marketing will transform Südlicher Münsterplatz into a street food market with regional vendors. Four days with staggered opening hours — from the Thursday after-work event, through the Friday weekend kickoff, to the Sunday family finale — create different market atmospheres for different target groups.
The range of participating vendors reflects the culinary diversity of the modern street food scene — from Levantine falafel to Mexican tacos and Asian curries, to gourmet burgers and sweet stalls. All vendors have a connection to the Ulm region — many operate local food truck concepts or small restaurants in Ulm, Neu-Ulm, and the surrounding area.
