What to do and see in Ulm, Baden-Wurttemberg: The Best Museums
Founded in the mid-9th century, Ulm enjoyed a long history as a free imperial city, ruled only by the Holy Roman Emperor with no pesky princes in between. An important trade town for centuries, Ulm was also the birthplace of Albert Einstein. Rising 530 feet, Ulm Minster has the world’s tallest steeple, the top of which can be reached via 768 steps. Ulm’s younger sister city, Neo Ulm (or New Ulm) lies just across the Danube River and is part of Bavaria rather than Baden-Wurttemberg.

The exhibition in the Museum of Bread and Art has two parts. Art is on one side, and topics such as bread, everyday life, nutrition, and consumption are on the other side. There are cultural dimensions to both parts: it is about understanding and interpreting the world around us, especially the exploration of the spaces in between stereotypes and popular conceptions. The two halves complement each other. This is what makes this museum so special.

Reviewed By DrHermannJosefT - Tübingen, Germany
This museum has a spacious location and presents the history of German (most rural) poor people going east and west to make a living away from misery in the homelands. It started 800 years ago, but most people flew in the 17th and in the 19th century to Hungary, Rumania and Russia to settle on fertile lands and recreate their peasant society. Diverse ethnic groups from different parts of Germany established prosperous communities. But their lives were destroyed by the craziness of Hitler, when he wanted to expand the Reich by force, killing millions of people, and the German communities were expelled from their homes after the war. It is very important to notice that after the war 15 million refugees (German speaking) arrived and were not welcome, as the whole country lay in shambles. But their work force helped to reconstruct the country and its economy.
