It's pronounced the same as a regular u. It is the same letter.

They are weird rules, but in Spanish we have these rule:

If a word has a "Q", the next letter must always be a silent u. That is, you write a "U" but don't pronounce it. And after that "U", always comes a vowel.

Similarly, if after a "G" comes a "E" or "I", it is pronounced differently depending on if there is a silent "U" after the "G".

However, sometimes we want a non silent U after a Q or a G. In that case, we write "ü".

So u and ü are literally the same letter in spanish. We call the 2 dots "diéresis", maybe it's similar in German.
