125 Years of DAV Neu-Ulm: Mountain Sports with Tradition

Since its founding in 1901, the Neu-Ulm section has developed from a small group of mountain enthusiasts into a vibrant community with around 9,000 members. Today, climbing, hiking, mountaineering, ski touring, mountain biking, youth and family work, training, competitive sports, and nature and environmental protection are part of club life.

The focus is on the passion for the mountains and community. The anniversary event demonstrates how alpine tradition, modern training offerings, and volunteer engagement come together in Neu-Ulm.

Participation Program for Climbing Fans and Families

During the free trial climbing, beginners can gain their first experiences at the climbing wall under expert guidance. Registration for one of the offered time slots is required for participation. A via ferrata activity, a craft station, and the children's challenge add extra movement and playfulness to the celebration day.

Exciting sports are promised by the JDAV's crate stacking and a speed demo followed by a competition for everyone. Here, concentration, technique, and dynamism meet the typical sporting excitement of climbing. Nature conservation tours and a photo exhibition complement the program with informative insights into alpine habitats and the club's history.

15 Years of sparkassendome DAV Climbing World

Since its opening in 2011, the sparkassendome has been a central location for recreational sports, children and youth work, training, and competitive climbing. The climbing world serves as a club center, training facility, and meeting place for recreational and competitive athletes. At the climbing walls, different experience levels come together – from the first grip to ambitious competition routes.

The stadium atmosphere is not created by floodlights and stands but by chalk on hands, taut ropes, focused looks, and cheering fan chants from the climbing community. Families, club groups, and experienced athletes experience a day full of movement and shared mountain sports passion.

Cakes, Barbecue, and Time for Encounters

Catering is also taken care of. From 1:00 PM, the local group Weißenhorn offers homemade cakes. In the afternoon, there will be barbecuing in the outdoor area. Thus, the anniversary connects sporting activity with conversations, club life, and relaxed festive atmosphere.

Conclusion: An Anniversary Day for the Entire Mountain Sports Community

125 years of DAV Section Neu-Ulm and 15 years of sparkassendome DAV Climbing World provide the perfect reason to experience climbing sports, club history, and environmental awareness live. Whether family, beginner, club member, or ambitious athlete: October 3, 2026 brings a variety of activities, sports challenges, and real community to Neu-Ulm. Admission is free.
