About Ulm - Deutschland(D:)

Ulm (German pronunciation: [ˈʔʊlm]) is a city in the German Bundesland of Baden-Württemberg, situated on the River Danube. The city, whose population is estimated at 120,000 (2006), forms an urban district of its own (German: Stadtkreis) and is the administrative seat of the Alb-Donau district. Ulm, founded around 850, 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 a university (University of Ulm, founded in 1967). Internationally, Ulm is primarily known for having the church with the tallest steeple in the world, the Gothic minster (Ulm Minster, German: Ulmer Münster) and as the birthplace of Albert Einstein.

Ulm Minster (German: Ulmer Münster, literally: minster) is a Lutheran church located in Ulm, Germany. Although sometimes referred to as Ulm Cathedral because of its great size, the church is not a cathedral as it has never been the seat of a bishop.

Ulm Minster is a famous example of Gothic ecclesiastical architecture. Like Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom), also begun in the Gothic era, Ulm Minster was not completed until the 19th century. It is the tallest church in the world, with a steeple measuring 161.53 metres (530 ft) and containing 768 steps. From the top level at 143 metres (469 ft) there is a panoramic view of Ulm in Baden-Württemberg and Neu-Ulm in Bavaria and, in clear weather, a vista of the Alps from Säntis to the Zugspitze. The final stairwell to the top (known as the third Gallery) is a tall, spiraling staircase that has barely enough room for one person.

About Ulm in Portuguese:
Ulm é uma cidade na Alemanha localizada no Estado federal alemão de Baden-Württemberg, situada a cerca de 100 km a sudeste de Estugarda.

Foi o local de nascimento de uma das pessoas mais famosas do século XX - Albert Einstein.

Situa-se na margem direita do rio Danúbio, na fronteira entre os estados federais de Baden-Würtemberg e Baviera. Do outro lado do rio, já na Baviera, estende-se a cidade gémea de Neu-Ulm.

A catedral de Ulm (Ulmer Münster), construída em estilo gótico, é o símbolo da cidade. Tem 161,53 metros de altura, naquela que é a maior torre de igreja do mundo. O edifício da nave da igreja tem 139,5 metros de altura e 59,2 m de largura ocupando uma superfície de 8260 m².

In a referendum in 1530/31, the citizens of Ulm converted to Protestantism during the Reformation. Ulm Minster became a Lutheran Church. Although as large as a many cathedrals, Ulm is not a cathedral, the responsible bishop of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Württemberg - member of the Evangelical Church in Germany - resides in Stuttgart.
