Often foggy because of its three rivers; too far away from my new home
In a nutshell
An interesting city with quite a bit to do and easily connected to other major cities.

Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: In the 14th to the 19th century, the wine yard was an important commercial centre, due to the wine-trade. Its chapel survived until 1612. After this, the earlier “Small Oath House” ('Schwörhäusle'), which was built on a palace tower, was replaced by an “Oath House”. After...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: Another significant church is the Holy Trinity Church (Dreifaltigkeitskirche).Martin Bantzenmacher built the “Haus der Begegnung” as a church of the Holy Trinity in 1616-21. The late renaissance building with an onion-domed tower was built on the site of a Dominican Cloister...
Saint George's and Holy Trinity Churches
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: Georgskirche (Saint George's Catholic church) was built in 1902-1904 by Maximilian and Carl Anton Meckel. It situated on Beethovenstr. 1.You can watch my high resolution photo of Ulm on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates 48° 24' 9.81" N 9° 59' 50.44" E...
Dolphin and St. George Fountains
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: The Dolphin (Delphin-Brunnen) situated to the South of the Minster. With its numerous fountains crossing over each other it can claim to be one of the most attractive fountains in Ulm. It was built mainly in 1585. The particular fascination of this fountain, with its complex...

Schlössle Brauerei and Gasthaus: worth going to Ulm for in and of itself
richiecdisc Says: Admittedly, Schlössle Brauerei and Gasthaus was the main reason for coming to Ulm even if it is auspiciously located across the Donau river in New-Ulm. It is unfortunately not just across the river and with no easy to sort mass transit, it was a bit of a walk to get there....
Zur Krone: Kronnenbrauerei's Ausschank
richiecdisc Says: Appearances can be deceptive and so it was with Zur Krone in Ulm. Actually, it's in Söflingen, a small suburb of Ulm proper which just happens to be in Baden Württemburg. Well, just in Baden Württemburg and about as close to Bavaria as you can get without being there. In...
CIIK Says: Su Casa opened 2006 in the Xinedome building (near city center / main-station). It has a Lounge and a 'beach bar'.It features theme parties (music or lifestyle themes). People mostly aged in their twenties. Prices are average. Enjoyed some good parties there.There is a...
Wiley Club: This place is ubercool ;-)
sunlovey Says: The Wiley Club is one of the coolest places Tim's taken me in Ulm. The first thing you notice when you walk in is its long elevated bar. Serving up great espressos, cappucinos, wine and mixed drinks, the bar staff is really friendly, a lot speak good English. The Wiley Club...
sezmonsta Says: Trams in Ulm are pretty good although its a crush getting on them at rush hour, so its best to buy a ticket at a machine before you get on the tram. The card you want is a "DING" card, and the weekly is a good bet if you're going to in town for a few days.The tram route maps...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: When we came to Ulm I've written in my notes 2943 km – the distance on the speedometer of our car which we overcame from Moscow. But when we came to the Minster square we saw the sign with distances to other well-known cities in the world. We found Moscow and discovered that...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: Ulm is situated at the crossroads of the A8 motorway (connecting the principal cities of southern Germany, Stuttgart and Munich), and the A7 motorway (one of the motorways running from northern to southern Europe).It has rather convenient and cheap parking in the centre. We...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: Ulm has become almost a home city for us and our dogs. Every time when SV BSZS take place there we don’t miss an opportunity to have a walk around the city with our dogs. It’s not only a pleasure for us but helpful. In 2009 we visited a veterinary clinic in Wiblingen (close...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: Climbing the tallest church in the world is the great attraction of any trip to Ulm.The Minster is measuring 161,5m and containing 768 steps. From the top level at 143 m there is a fantastic panoramic view of Ulm in Baden-Württemberg and Neu-Ulm in Bavaria.The final...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: If you live in Moscow you needn't go to Ulm so often because there is a part of Ulm in the Moscow Pushkin Museum of Art. When I was young and visited this museum I couldn't even dream to see the originals of the beautiful replicas of Ulm's Minster masterpieces which I used...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: The Town House (Stadthaus Ulm) in my opinion is another (as well as Zentralbibliothek) ugly building in the centre of Ulm. If it was situated in another place I wouldn’t think so, but unfortunately this building of modern architecture is in the centre of Ulm.The basement...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: Central Library Ulm (Zentralbibliothek) constructed in the form of an imposing pyramid, with a footprint of 28 x 28 m and a total height of more than 36 m. It was officially opened in May 2004. It reminds me the Pyramid at Louvre in Paris. I think it's among the ugliest...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: We have been to Danube Stadium in Ulm three times. SV BSZS (German shepherds Championship) was held there in 2003, 2005 and 2009. That’s why we spent in the stadium nine days (three days every year). The stadium is rather convenient for the show and Baden Wuerttemberg GSD...
Ulmer Spatzeninvasion - Invasion of the Sparrows
Kakapo2 Says: You see sparrow sculptures all over the place in Ulm, on squares, in front of shops, above doors, in the water, just everywhere. Look around, above and beside you, and you might spot one. They are all unique.The invasion started in May 2001. Artists designed blank sparrow...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: The old Fischerviertel (fishermen's quarter) is the most picturesque district in Ulm.It situated on the River Blau and is famous with its half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and picturesque footbridges. Interesting sights here are the Schiefes Haus(crooked house), a...

The World's highest Church Spire and the Sparrows
This picture says and has it all: the world's highest church spire, the sparrow, symbol of the city, and the grey building in the background is the head office of Sparkasse Ulm where I still have my...

Impressive by day and night: Ulm's Münster church has the highest steeple in the world with a height of 161 m. The photo was, by the way, taken from the window of my hotel room. Before 1803 Ulm used...
Ulm sits prettily on the Baden-Württemberg side of the Donau but don't let this proximity to Bavaria fool you, it is decidedly Schwäbisch, from its cuisine to the Protestant orientation of its most......
This is Ulm: the world's tallest church steeple rising like a fata morgana from a sea of mediocre post-war architecture.
