Founded in the mid-9th century, Ulm enjoyed a long history as a free imperial city, ruled only by the Holy Roman Emperor with no pesky princes in between. An important trade town for centuries, Ulm was also the birthplace of Albert Einstein. Rising 530 feet, Ulm Minster has the world’s tallest steeple, the top of which can be reached via 768 steps. Ulm’s younger sister city, Neo Ulm (or New Ulm) lies just across the Danube River and is part of Bavaria rather than Baden-Wurttemberg.

The Rathaus exterior was beautiful. The murals painted on the building looked almost new although it is a very old building.

The interior of the minster was much more impressive than I had expected. The modern stained glass windows are unique. And of course going up the highest steeple in the world is an extraordinary experience.

Wiblingen Monastery (Kloster Wiblingen) and its church represent the final masterpiece of Baroque architecture in Upper Swabia. The interior of the library is considered one of the most finest examples of Rococo architecture.

Starting from the Butchers gate a walk along the wallls and down into the fishermans district is a must if you are in Ulm. Various sluices, leats and water mill wheels along with overhanging timber frame buildings make a fascinating scene at any time of year.

Accessed by a number of walkways, the Ulmer Stadtmauer is an excellent way to enjoy views of the Donau / Danube and the attractive historical and modern structures along the river front.
