Ulm is a city in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, situated on the river Danube on the border with Bavaria. It is a former free imperial city with a rich history and traditions. Today, Ulm is an economic center due to its varied industries, and it is the seat of the University of Ulm. Ulm is also famous for having the church with the tallest steeple in the world, the Gothic minster (Ulm Minster), and as the birthplace of Albert Einstein.

In addition to its historical and cultural significance, Ulm is also a popular tourist destination. Visitors can explore the citys museums, collections, theaters, gardens, and parks. The citys range of hotel accommodation tends towards the perfectly functional rather than the luxuriously decadent.

Ulm is also home to the University of Louisiana Monroe (ULM), an accredited university offering graduate and undergraduate degrees.
