Ulm is the birthplace of Einstein and the home of the Museum of Bread Culture, but the main thing to see there is the Munster (
mit der umlaut; sorry), Ulm's cathedral.
 |
Even though it fronts a large square, Ulm's Munster is so
large, especially tall, that it is difficult to get a decent photo;
here's a photo of the usual bronze model of the old city |
 |
Nave |
 |
Ceiling |
 |
Chancel arch, beautifully frescoed with a
Last Judgment |
 |
Detail; Hell, of course |
 |
While everyone else is getting damned, Mary seems to
have found a good book |
 |
Just outside the arch is the tabernacle, the
highest religious carving in Germany; 85 feet;
1470 |
 |
In the choir, more beautiful carving |
 |
Thus |
 |
And the usual misericordia |
 |
A few nice old windows |
 |
The organ; we stayed for the noon organ concert |
 |
More painting |
 |
Ditto |
 |
St. Edward Scissorhands |
 |
Side aisles nearly as interesting as the nave |
 |
Late medieval door hardware |
 |
Changing a lightbulb |
