Ulm ( is a city in the federal German state of Baden-Württemberg, situated on the River Danube. The city, whose population is estimated at almost 120,000 (2015), forms an urban district of its own (German: Stadtkreis) and is the administrative seat of the Alb-Donau district. Founded around 850, Ulm is rich in history and traditions as a former free imperial city (German: freie Reichsstadt). Today, it is an economic centre due to its varied industries, and it is the seat of the University of Ulm. Internationally, Ulm is primarily known for having the church with the tallest steeple in the world (161.53 m or 529.95 ft), the Gothic minster (Ulm Minster, German: Ulmer Münster), and as the birthplace of Albert Einstein.
We were lucky to have our own tour guide, Melanie Williams, who chauffeured and showed us around Ulm, giving us an up close and personal tour of this beautiful little village.
Melanie and her family will be visiting Arkansas next year so we will reciprocate her kindness and be their personal chauffeurs and tour guides.
