Munderkingen (German pronunciation:[ˈmʊndɐˌkɪŋən]ⓘ;Swabian:Mondrkenga) is the smallest town in the district ofAlb-Donau inBaden-Württemberg inGermany. It is situated on theDanube, 9 km southwest ofEhingen, and 31 km southwest ofUlm.
The so-called "New Danube Bridge" 1893 was the first massive concrete arch bridge, which was built with an arch span of more than 50 m: Engineer Karl Leibbrand from Stuttgart was the builder, the work was carried out by the construction company Buck from Ehingen.[3][4] The bridge was busted in World War II, on April 22, 1945, by the retreating German engineering troops. Reconstruction began immediately after the war. In June 1948, the rebuilt Danube bridge was inaugurated by the occupying power of the French zone.
Built in 1889–90, the historicist building belongs to the townscape.
Munderkingen is served by theUlm–Sigmaringen railway.
