Franziskanerkloster Ulm, Franciscan monastery in Ulm, Germany.

The monastery complex includes several buildings with a church, featuring Gothic architectural elements and a bell tower that rises above the structure.

Founded in 1229 near the Lion Gate, the monastery served as temporary residence for Emperor Sigismund in 1434 during his visit to Ulm.

The Franciscan monks established a Latin school within the monastery buildings in 1534, which later developed into a local gymnasium.

The monastery church continues to hold regular Catholic services and religious ceremonies for the local pastoral care unit.

Between 1484 and 1495, the monastery hosted multiple provincial chapters of the Upper German Franciscan Province 'Alemania superior'.
