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).
