Ulm Minster | Ulmer Münster / Muenster in Ulm, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

The Ulm Minster (or Münster Unserer Lieben Frau in Ulm) is a Gothic-style church in Ulm. It is the largest Protestant church in Germany. The 161.53 meter high tower, completed in 1890, is the tallest church tower in the world.

The foundation was laid in 1377 when Ulm was a free imperial city and still Roman Catholic. In 1530, the decision was made in a citizens’ vote in favour of the Protestant confession. Ulmer Münster became a place of worship for the Protestant church. It was owned by the city of Ulm until 1894 and then came into the possession of the Protestant parish of Ulm. The Münster /Muenster survived the air raids on Ulm in 1944/1945 largely undamaged.
