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 |
