Ulm is a
city in
Germany, part of the
Bundesland of
Baden-Württemberg. Population is slightly above 120000.
Ulm was first mentioned in 854, and was declared city by
Friedrich Barbarossa in 1164. Ulm blossomed during the
1500s and
1600s, mostly due to the export of
Barchent. It was also the high of
art in Ulm, especially for
painters and
sculptors.
In 1803, it ceased to be a "free city" and became part of Bavaria, and 1810 part of the Kingdom of Württemberg.
- The Danube River flows through Ulm. On the other side of the river, there is the city of Neu-Ulm, a lot smaller than Ulm (pop. ~50000).
