Quote: In 1938, it again became a "free city" (which means that it didn't belong to a county)

Anyone care to expand on this? It seems quite an important part of Ulm's recent history.

It seems to be a complete unneccessary and misleading quote. Every town which exceeds the number of 100.000 exhabitants beomes that status, which means that it now is an urban district and not longer part of a county. The quote pretends a status like that of a Imperial Free City, of which it is far from, but in fact Ulm was once one. In the moment it looks like the Nazis granted the City of Ulm a special status, but it only exceeded 100.000 people in 1938.

I changed it, for non-Germans the old quote seemed to be simply confusing. Gerhard51 16:50, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I rewrote and extended the article. Hope you like it. There is however still much to do. Candidus 11:20, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

The Hirschstraße picture currently says "View from the Münster towards Hirschstraße. Due to its almost complete destruction in 1944, this part of the city consists of modern architecture only.", which isn't true. For example, today's "Wöhrl Plaza", former "Hertie" has survived the WW II bombings, although it was damaged and had to be repaired. It's the building with the distinctive roof on the left, the thing that looks like a chopped-off cylinder with a peak in the middle. This is the location of the central stairhouse of the building, which had a glass dome in earlier times, as historical photographs show. Also, right above the entrance (not visible from the picture in the article), there is a stone relief that was hidden behind metal blinds/covers (covering the entire building's front and sides) during the "Hertie" times, and discovered again during renovation when it was turned into the "Wöhrl Plaza". Today, it is sometimes covered with advertising, but if you're lucky, you get to see it. Maybe someone could "wikify" this information and add it to the article? At least change the statement that all Hirschstraße buildings are post-war buildings - this is just plain wrong. 85.216.17.14 20:24, 2 December

Thanks for the hint. I replaced "only" by "primarily". I think this term adequately describes the situation. Candidus 11:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Ulm in popular culture[edit]

I think that we need an "Ulm in popular culture" segment. It has at least 2 things: The Monty Python sketch and the joke among Europa Universalis 4 players that Ulm,as a free city is the strongest nation,due to an comic/after action report called Flagland — Preceding unsigned comment added by KaptaşHero (talk • contribs) 18:12, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

@KaptaşHero: Yes, I wholeheartedly support this! Nate Hooper (talk) 12:34, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

@KaptaşHero: I completely agree as well, I have embraced the meme on eu4 to the point that I have actually developed a few strategies to play as Ulm. A Basil Biscuit (talk) 18:02, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

I just created this segment on the page, feel free to add any corrections or addition information! A Basil Biscuit (talk) 23:40, 29 October 2020 (UTC) Removed. We do not do popular culture sections for cities, this is impertinent trivia. Wikipedia is not the place for your gaming inside jokes. Reywas92^Talk 00:45, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

When is the Ratiopharm Ulm basketball team founded?[edit]

1970 as referred to in this article or 2001 as referred to in the Ratiopharm Ulm wiki page?

Neu-Ulm Separation[edit]

I have been trying to find out more about the separation of Neu-Ulm from Ulm and the border changes between Württemberg and Bavaria. According to the German wiki article:

"The Treaty of Compiègne of 24 April 1810, which came under significant pressure Napoleon, was agreed between the kingdoms of Bavaria and Württemberg an area exchange. A treaty between Bavaria and Württemberg of May 1810 regulated the details. Bavaria resigned its sovereignty over the city of Ulm and parts of Upper Swabia to Württemberg. The demarcation took place in the middle of the Danube. The island and the possessions of Ulm remained on the right bank of the Danube near Bavaria."

but there are no references. I can't find anything about this treaty. Maybe I need to work on my German and dig something up. Pelirojopajaro (talk) 08:46, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
