New Ulm, German heritage city in Brown County, Minnesota, United States
New Ulm extends across the Minnesota River valley at 274 meters elevation, surrounded by agricultural lands and natural prairies in Brown County.
German immigrants established New Ulm in 1854, creating a settlement that survived conflicts with Native Americans during the Dakota War of 1862.
The Hermann Monument rises 102 feet above the city, commemorating the Germanic tribal leader who defeated Roman legions in 9 CE.
