Geographical setting

The city center of Ulm lies in the Danube Valley.

Culture

Ulm is historically associated with Danube shipping, the handling of timber, and the export of textiles, including linen and barchent.

The medieval palatinate of Ulma, mentioned in 854, is associated with Ulm's early historic center.

Water and transport

Historically, the early settlement of Ulm is associated with a location by the water and a crossing of the Danube; a ferry station is assumed to have existed at this crossing. This provides a point of interest for visitors interested in historic transport routes.

Historic passenger shipping from Ulm used the Danube. In the 18th century, there were regular downstream journeys; later, the boats became known as “Ulmer Schachteln.”
