Ulm - History
The oldest settlement of the Ulm area begins in the early neolithic period, around 5000 BC. Settlements of this time have been identified at Eggingen and Lehr. In the city area of Ulm itself the oldest find is from the late neolithic period.
Ulm is first mentioned in 854 and was declared a city by Friedrich Barbarossa in 1164. Ulm blossomed during the 1500s and 1600s, mostly due to the export of high-quality textiles. These centuries also represented the zenith of art in Ulm, especially for painters and sculptors.
In 1803, it ceased to be an "Imperial Free City" and was absorbed into Bavaria. During the campaign of 1805, Napoleon managed to trap the invading Austrian army of General Mack in Ulm and forced it to surrender. In 1810, Ulm was incorporated into the Kingdom of Württemberg.
In 1938, exceeding now 100.000 inhabitants, it became the status of an urban district. During World War II, 80% of the city center was destroyed by an allied air raid (December 1944). The city has since then been reconstructed in a moderately modern style, with the remaining historic buildings still forming an important part of the city landscape.
During the 1980's Neu-Ulm was home to elements of the U.S. Army's 56th Field Artillery Brigade (Pershing) including the 2nd Battalion, 4th Infantry, and the 55th Maintenance Battalion.
