Things to do in Ulm, Baden-Wurttemberg: The Best Historic Sites
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.

Ulm is ringed by a series of magnificent stone fortresses dating from the 1830s and built to defend the new German Confederation from French attack. Large buildings house a theatre complex south of the Danube in Neu Ulm and NATO occupy a large complex including barracks and an underground armoury on the hill above Ulm. There is a little tower accessed bya spiral staircase which gives an artilleryman's view of the city. (It is not part of fortifications)
