Ulm, Medieval university city in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The Danube River flows through this large urban center, which features districts of half-timbered houses and stone buildings along narrow streets.

The settlement received imperial city status in 1181, becoming a significant trade hub for textiles, leading to substantial wealth during the 15th century.

The Museum Ulm exhibits the Lion-man sculpture from 40,000 years ago, representing the first known figurative art piece discovered in human history.

The central train station connects directly to Munich, Stuttgart, and Augsburg, with regional services extending throughout Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.

The Ulm Minster cathedral holds the record for the tallest church spire globally, measuring 161.53 meters and requiring 768 steps to reach its viewing platform.
