Ulm: Olgastraße
Ulm combines a compact historic core with the pace of a modern regional centre in a way that reflects its position on the Danube in southern Germany. Olgastraße is one of the city’s central urban corridors, carrying road traffic and tram lines through a built-up district of offices, shops and public services. Its name recalls Queen Olga of Württemberg, the Russian-born consort of King Karl. To the south, the Danube forms the border with Bavaria, while Ulm Minster anchors the old town with the world’s tallest church steeple. Rebuilt after heavy wartime damage, Ulm is also associated with Albert Einstein, who was born here in 1879.

Developed around a crossing of the Danube, Ulm became a historic city in Baden-Württemberg. The river forms the border with Bavaria here, flowing beside the old town and linking Ulm with Neu-Ulm, a separate Bavarian city. Ulm Minster dominates the centre: its 161.53-metre spire is the tallest church steeple in the world. Construction began in the 14th century and was completed in 1890. Lanes around Münsterplatz and the Danube riverfront reflect Ulm’s position between Swabian tradition and two German states.

Baden-Württemberg is best known within Germany for the Black Forest, the wooded upland region that shapes much of the state’s southwest. Its terrain also reaches from the Upper Rhine plain and its wine-growing areas to the limestone ridges of the Swabian Jura, while Lake Constance marks part of the southern frontier. Stuttgart, the state capital, is closely tied to the automobile industry and hosts the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum. Heidelberg’s old town and castle add another important strand to the region’s identity, alongside renowned universities, spas and regional cooking.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
