Saturday morning we were off to the city of Ulm. As we drove into Ulm, Sabine pointed out the steeple of the Ulm Minster (Ulmer Münster) Protestant Church that we were going to see in a few minutes. Ulmer Münster is the tallest church in the world, with the steeple topping out at 530 feet (768 steps, which we did not even think about doing). The church, which is in the Gothic ecclesiastical architectural style, is amazing. The foundation was laid in 1377, with construction taking place off and on over the following centuries. Construction on the church was not finally completed until May 31, 1890. After looking around the church, we walked through the main downtown portion of Ulm, checking out the various shops and vendors who were out selling their wares. I also took a photo of a big blue bird, which is the symbol of Ulm.
