Ulm (English spelling)

Japanese: ウルム(英語表記)Ulm
Ulm (English spelling)
A city in the state of Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany. It is located on the left bank of the Danube on the eastern edge of the state, opposite Neu-Ulm in Bavaria. The city is located at the crossing point of the Danube, where the Iller River from the Bayerischer Alpen and the Blau River from the Schwabischer Alp flow into the Danube. It was first recorded as a royal city in 854, and gained city rights in the 12th century. It then prospered as a direct imperial city and a commercial city occupying a key transportation location. It declined in the 16th and 17th centuries as a result of the Thirty Years' War, and became part of Bavaria in 1802 and Württemberg in 1810, but from the mid-20th century, industry and commerce developed rapidly, and it became the economic center of the Upper Swabia region. It was heavily damaged in World War II, but most of its important buildings have been restored. The Gothic Ulm Cathedral (construction started in 1377, restoration completed in 1890) with a 161m-high spire escaped war damage, and other notable buildings include the town hall built in 1370 and the grain exchange built in 1594. The manufacturing of automobiles, machinery, and electrical equipment is thriving in the city. Population: 122,801 (2010).
