This church actually fared better than the cathedral at Cologne (which actually is a cathedral, since a Roman Catholic Bishop is seated there), which was heavily damaged in bombing raids, even though it served as (like the Ulm Minster) a prominent and visible navigational landmark to bombing crews. The Cologne Cathedral is perhaps Germany's most visited landmark. A very nice video, Vic. Please keep up the good work.
That cathedral is the most beautiful, spiritual building I've ever been in. I've been all over the world and never reacted the way I did when I entered that sanctuary.
Hey Vic, found this video searching for videos about tall churches, with my 4 year old son. He is a big fan of tall buildings, especially churches. Thank you for this nice video.
In the early 1970s I lived near that church. My father was in the US military and we stationed there. I was in 3rd grade when we left. But I remember how beautiful the church was along with the city.
I climbed it a few times while I was in the US Army, stationed in Neu-Ulm, 1983-88, in the Pershing nuclear missile unit that was on Wiley Kaserne. I went back to visit there in the summer of 2019. What an awesome trip! I also have two kids there (and grand kids), in Laupheim.
This tower is not 490 ft. tall... it is 530 ft. tall. (Cologne's twin towers are 515 ft. tall). Also, the interior is only 41.6 metres tall, not 60 metres.
If you have not visited already... Go to Wiesbaden (Germany) and the area along the rhine river. Moved there 4 years ago and still discover mind blowing places (e.g. the niederwald monument)

I love Gothic architecture . did that area escape bombing in WWII? I did not see any obvious signs of major repairs, a few sections of blocks that had been replaced but not what you would expect from a reconstruction job. Some of the art work and statues appear to be quit old and obviously not destroyed by bombing.
The centre of Ulm was destroyed (80%) during a bombing raid in Dec of 1944. The medieval area around the cathedral was leveled but the church, as if by a miracle, survived mostly intact, not a single bomb hit it.. I agree, the gothic architecture here is beautifully and faithfully executed..
@@andyboog2010 This is not true. It is impossible not to hit such small goals. In Cologne, right next to Cologne Cathedral was the Hohnezoller Bridge. This one was destroyed. It was impossible to drop bombs on the bridge but not exclude any threat / destruction to the dome because it was way too close to the bridge. The Cologne Cathedral was very lucky, because its roof was built so late and it was already a steel construction, not as in Notre Dame, for example, which was made of oak. The Dresden Frauenkirche was completely destroyed, as were large parts of the Berlin Cathedral. That the churches like the Ulmer Münster or the Cologne Cathedral were hardly damaged is a miracle, not the work of bomber pilots. There was no order to spare the churches or historically significant buildings, they wanted to achieve maximum destruction.
@@firefly3196 sorry. Your wrong. As a policy they tried not to hit historic sites. I'm not saying that they didnt get hit or even become targeted if the germans ended up using it somehow as part of their war effort. But as a general rule we didnt target these things.
@@andyboog2010 Sorry, but that's propaganda. It is simply not possible from this height to destroy or damage certain buildings, especially because the cities were often under clouds. Dresden e.g. was completely war-irrelevant and was a refugee camp for the people fleeing from the East. The city was full of historically great treasures, it was called the Elbe-Florence. It was completely destroyed. Everything was destroyed, shortly before the end of the war. Same applies to Potsdam and other cities. So do not tell me you've paid attention to the Historic Buildings. Bomber Harries himself said that they wanted to destroy primarily apartments and the old town. "Apart from Essen, we have never chosen a special industrial plant as our target, and the destruction of industrial facilities always seemed like a special bonus to us, and our ultimate goal was always downtown." I seem to know more about your story than you do.
Hello there my name is Rachel Diane Wagner. My Great Grandfather was from Kasse'l and his name was Fredreich August his sons name was Jakob Josef Wagner but the changed it to Josef Jakob. I was raised by my Grandfather and My Mother Susan Passed away on Ash Wednesday of Heart Failure. I was only 19 at the time I am now 37 years old and I want to go to the oldest church in Germany that is my Dream. My uncle Joseph Scott married Heidi Wagner and her Parents were Katje and Walter Luskin Both now Deceased. I want to know more about the Cathedral! This is stunning! I wonder if i am related to the old composer Wagner! My Grandfather Joe came to Wyoming with his family when he was only 2 so that would of been 1920, He had a sister Mildred cant recall the last name. Anyways how do i go further back in my Gene Pool! God Bless and hope to hear from You. Um in Minster Germany! Wow very Beautiful i am A Faithful Catholic! I found a gentlemen here who told me of the Adle vice My Grandfather told me stories and I would Love to Hear your Words and Talk of Germany. It is very interesting and the builings there are Angelic! God Bless YOu amenRachel
Hi Rachel and thank you for your comments and for all the information that you shared with us.. I am not really sure how you can go about researching the past generations in Germany, I am sure f you google hard enough you would be able to find a lead somewhere.. Thank you so much for viewing my videos, sorry I could not help (I am not German..)
The spire is beautiful to you but not to me. It is over sized and over bearing for the size of the church. Standing alone one can see the craftsmanship and its beauty, but attach to the smaller structure it is out-of-place and misfitted. Also, you should have a professional do your videos.
It' so sad that we (germans/europeans) are a dying culture. There still will be people in europe, but without heritage, culture and collective remembrance
See what happens when protestants take over a catholic church and have no interest to preserve it's originality. One can clearly see the carelesness and selective preservation when it comes to it's catholic heritage. What a shame, it would have been one of the most beautiful churches in the world. PS. I'm not promoting hate towards fellow christians (Lutherans in this case), but making a point when it comes to preserving a historical heritage.
therionman52 It would have been preferable that protestantism would still attempt to build churches in a detailed manner, whilst retaining the developments that it contributed towards society, such as medical contributions, academics, etc.
Love your passion thanks for the video

Are these churches stil been crowded by worshippers in sundays likewise those days or not?
Not at the moment due to Covid-19.. most of them are now closed for visitors
Even before not really. I was born and grew up in Ulm and the Münster mostly is empty even in Sundays.

Yeah, what the Protestants did to western church art is regrettable. However, the Protestant Reformation also brought about many positive changes.
Their contribution to modern society cannot be denied, I agree on that.
therionman52 It would have been preferable that protestantism would still attempt to build churches in a detailed manner, whilst retaining the developments that it contributed towards society, such as medical contributions, academics, etc.
But

They are comparable..
