Ulm is a city in the south German state of Baden-Württemberg, founded in medieval times. In the center is the huge Gothic Ulm Minster, a centuries-old church. Its steeple has views of the city and, in clear weather, the Alps. The Town Hall has an early-Renaissance facade, murals and a 16th-century astronomical clock. Half-timbered houses line the narrow alleys of the Fischerviertel, an area close to the River Danube.
On the Danube in Baden-Württemberg, Ulm will forever be synonymous with its epic minster. The city, also the birthplace of Albert Einstein, is a heady juxtaposition of Medieval and modern: Dating back hundreds of years are the city’s walls by the Danube and the quarter where fishermen and tanners used to live.
The half-timbered houses and traditional German restaurants on these streets clash with avant-garde new monuments to replace architecture lost in the war. And back to that minster, which soars over everything else in the city. Until the 1900s this church was in the top five tallest buildings in the world and has enough room for 20,000 worshippers.
To set the scene, Ulm Minster has the highest steeple in the world, is officially the tallest complete church in the world and coming into the 20th century it was the 5th tallest man-made structure. From the tower, 768 steps and 143 metres up, there’s a panorama of the Alps far in the distance to the south. Ulm Minster was started in 1377, but partly because of its extreme dimensions was only officially completed in 1890. In the western portal take a moment to study the tympanum, filled with 14th-century carvings of scenes from the book of Genesis.
Where the channels of the Blau Stream enter the Danube is the Medieval waterside quarter for Ulm’s tanners, fishermen and shipbuilders. The neighbourhood reached its zenith in the 1500s when trade on the Danube was roaring. As a testament to this high demand, the streets are tightly packed with cantilevered timber-framed houses, some so close to each other that they sometimes touch in front, like on the appropriately named Kussgasse (Kiss Alley).
What could be the cutest building in Ulm is the Schiefes Haus, a rickety inn from the start of the 15th century. The museum for bread culture has an apt home in a Renaissance granary that was built in 1592 and was in use until the start of the 19th century.
Some way south of Ulm, near the confluence of the Iller and Danube Rivers, is a former Benedictine Abbey of Wiblingen Abbey, now a department of the University of Ulm. Coated with trompe-l’œil frescoes, Ulm’s majestic old town hall has an Early Renaissance design and is composed of three buildings, the oldest of which dates back to the 1370. The oldest architecture is on the southeast side of the complex, while the gables and daintily ornamented windows are from the 15th century.
If you’re up for a restorative stroll you could make for the Danube bordered by a long remnant of Ulm’s defensive walls. One unforgettable element in the defensive system by the Danube is the Metzgerturm (Butchers’ Tower), a gate predating the current line, going back to 1340. The tower got its name as an opening had to be made in the wall to make it easier to reach the city’s slaughterhouse, which was built outside the walls.
In four adjacent houses on Ulm’s Marktplatz, the municipal museum is unmissable for its Gothic and Renaissance sculpture, but also a prehistoric statue that has no equivalent in the world. Take the Central Library, opposite the Old Town Hall and Minster, designed by Gottfried Böhm and in the shape of a glass pyramid.
That wave of architecture has given Ulm a private contemporary art museum. The Kunsthalle Weishaupt opened in 2007 in a cube-shaped building designed by Wolfram Wöhr. Under the Minster’s sky-scraping spire is another modern addition to Ulm’s cityscape.
The gleaming white Stadthaus by New York architect Richard Meier is an attention-grabbing landmark that opened in 1993.
Ulm’s zoo might be on the small side, but has a variety of regional and exotic animals for kids to get close to. At a spacious 28 hectares, Ulm University’s botanical garden is one of the largest in the country. Ulm’s annual city holiday falls on the penultimate Monday of July.

Strassenbahn Ulm 1979
Die Ulmer Strassenbahnlinie 1 verkehrt im Jahre 1979 zwischen den Endstationen Donauhalle und Söflingen. Während der Hauptverkehrszeit wird dem 4-achsigen Grossraumwagen ein 2-achsiger Beiwagen beigestellt. Dieser wird nach Ende der rush-hour in Depotnähe von einem 2-achsigen Altbautriebwagen abgezogen. Statt Umfahren des Beiwagens vor dem Depot nutzt man eine Gefällestrecke, um ihn in Richtung Depot rollen zu lassen und vor den Triebwagen zu bringen, der ihn dann hinein schiebt. Leider muss hier der Wagenführer mit Muskelkraft nachschieben, da der Beiwagen nicht bis hinter die Weiche des Umsetzgleises gerollt ist. Nach dieser Prozedur kann der mit Bierreklame versehene Wagen zu einer Sonderfahrt aufbrechen.

Ulm-Germany
It is my First time to visit Ulm the city were Albert Einstein was born! Ulm (ŏŏlm), city (1994 pop. 114,839), Baden-Württemberg, S Germany, on the Danube (Donau) River. It is an active river port, rail junction, and industrial center. Manufactures include motor vehicles, machinery, electrical equipment, and diversified, light manufacturing. Known in 854, Ulm became (14th cent.) a free imperial city in Swabia and ruled a considerable territory N of the Danube. It was one of the greatest commercial centers and one of the most powerful cities of the medieval empire, reaching its zenith in the 15th cent. Changes in international trade routes during the 15th and 16th cent. and the religious wars in Germany (e.g., the Thirty Years War, 1618–48) caused its decline. Ulm accepted the Reformation c.1530 and was a member of the Schmalkaldic League. The city and its territory were awarded to Bavaria in 1803 at the Diet of Regensburg, but were transferred to Württemberg in 1810. Bavaria built Neu-Ulm on the opposite shore of the Danube, which forms the state boundary there. The industrial development of Ulm dates from the 19th cent. In World War II more than half of the city, including many old and historic buildings, was destroyed; most of the major historic buildings have since been restored. The famous Gothic minster, begun in 1377, is the largest Gothic church in Germany after the Cologne Cathedral and has one of the world's highest church towers (528 ft/161 m). The city has a university and several museums. Albert Einstein was born (1879) in Ulm.

STREET VIEW: Innenstadt von Ulm in GERMANY
Wir starten unseren Rundgang durch Ulm mit Blick auf den berühmten Münsterturm. Er ist der höchste auf der Welt und deshalb nur schwer ins Bild zu bekommen. Es geht weiter über den Münsterplatz und einmal um das Münster herum, bevor wir die Umlaufbahn in Richtung Ulmer Rathaus und Marktplatz verlassen. Durch den Metzgerturm gehen wir hinunter bis zum Donauufer mit Blick auf Neu-Ulm. Unter der Metzig und den Weinhof geht es dann in Richtung Fischerviertel. Durch die Fischergasse gehen wir hinunter bis zum Setra-Museum und dann durch die Schwörhausgasse unter der Neuen Straße hindurch in die Lautengasse. Anschließend geht es über die Glöcklergasse in die Hirschstraße zurück auf den Münsterplatz.
We walk through the inner city of Ulm in South Germany at the Danube River and at the border to Bavaria.
