Well, all I know is that the supermarkets here are open till 9pm and 10pm! Everything that comes after that, like 24/7 in America, I find irresponsible towards the salespeople! they also want to have free time and be there for their families. it makes no sense that supermarkets are open until after midnight. the few people who still shop then, don't make a big difference in sales.
Shops are open longer in Ulm since it is in the state of Baden-Württemberg where shops are allowed to open 24 hours from Monday to Saturday and until 2 pm on Sundays and public holidays. Shops in your state have to close at 8 pm during the week and are only allowed to open on up to 4 Sundays per year if there is a special event in the city.
Sorry that is Not true... Supermarkets in Baden Württemberg are Not allowed to open on Sundays an Supermarkets in Bavaria mostlybin Nigger cities are open up to 10pm on workdays
I am an "Ulmer", i live here since my birth. And i am very happy that you had visited us and had a nice beautiful day here, enjoyed our beloved town. 🤗
One of my favourite cities! My husband played a concert on the Platz in front of the minster, just before we got married. Can you imagine how cool it was? I lived there for work a few times and have such happy memories. I am so glad you liked it and that "the church was good"!
Oh Ulm, I live there, funny to see all streets here 😄 We can not imaging what a beautiful medival city this could be if it hadn‘t been destroyed in WW2. But anyway, it managed it to get back its special flair. I enjoy to live there.
@@OurStorytoTell There was actually an exhibition some (many) years ago showing models of the old city before the destruction. AFAIR, the models were made at the beginning of the 20th century. It was actually astonishing. Especially the city center around the Münster looked *completely* different. AFAIK the models are in the municipal museum now. There is also a video on YT of the funeral procession for Field Marshall Erwin Rommel (yes, that Erwin Rommel!) which gives you a glimpse of the old Ulm literally only weeks before the destruction.
most streets survived the war. the western part of the old town is gone, but Im happy that most of the old town remains. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Kulturdenkmale_in_Ulm
When in Ulm, um Ulm and um Ulm herum you should definetely make a side trip to Blaubeuren and the Blautopf!!! It's a pond directly on the foot of the Schwäbische Alb from which a whole river arises. It's very deep and has such clear water that it looks unreal blue. You have to see it with your own eyes to believe it. Oh, and some of the oldest musical instruments (bone flutes) in the world have been found in caves nearby - isn't it fitting for the land of Bach and Beethoven (and Rammstein!!!) to have had musicians 36,000(!) years ago?
My grandfather is buried there for almost 80 years, I worked there for about 3 years - and lived pretty close by for 10 years.... it's no use - never understood a word when the locals speak...
"...und Rammstein". Genau! Was den Blautopf betrifft - mein Bruder behauptet immer noch, der Blaubeurer Bürgermeister erneuere heimlich die tolle türkise Farbe des Blautopf durch Zusatz von Farbpäckchen...
To promote the German city of Ulm, also the site of one of Napoleon's famous victories. Gwen Stefani's 2004 hit What You Waiting For could be used, via a simple reworking of the chorus, removing the oh's and turning them into Ulm. Wunderbar.
I LOVE Ulm. Did my studies there. Happy, you loved that city as well! We will be spending our vacations as of Friday at "Bretagne", the most Western place in France, near the city Brest. Take care and enjoy your time in "Allgäu" and Europe. Love to accompany you, travelling. ❤️
That "alcohol free beer" you tried was a Radler and not a beer. That is 50% lemonade mixed with 50% beer (sometimes also 60/40). PS: You can identify it through the lemons on the label. Normal beer wouldn't have them.
Oh my, these are the streets I walk down every day! 😂 So glad you had great weather for your visit! I took my son’s then 4th grade class to the top of the Münster way back when ( now in 12th grade).
The opening hours of stores are quite restricted through the law in Bavaria where you live. Stores have to close by 8pm in all of Bavaria. In other regions the law isn't as strict so stores could be open until 10 or even 12pm :) Enjoy your time!
I was about to comment the same. The majority of German will actually get an culture shock, when they find out that in Bavaria supermarkets close that early. I for myself at least, always feel like in a Time Capsule that has send me back to the 90ies.
@@OurStorytoTell Yep, the name of the law is "Ladenschlußgesetz" and it regulates the opening hours of shops. The regulations are different state by state with Bavaria having the most restricted opening hours of all German states.
Ulm is considered by some as the gate to Upper Swabia which is the region between Ulm and Friedrichshafen at the Lake of Constance. The big day of Ulm is called Schwörmontag which is celebrated at the end of June or the beginning of July. The mayor of Ulm is supposed to swear a public oath on a balcony of the city hall on that day. Afterwards there's a big party in the city. The special highlight of it is a procession of all kinds of vehicles able to swim floating down the Danube river. The procession is called "Nabada" (Hinunterbaden) which means something like bathing down the Danube river. There are a couple of videos on TH-cam featuring that procession. This year Schwörmontag will be celebrated on July 24th. You can see the Alps from the top of the Ulmer Münster belfry. However mind that they're more than 100 km south of Ulm. The air needs to be very clear - a condition more often met with windy weather in spring and in autumn. You'll be able to enjoy a particularly good view of the Alps in a weather condition known as "Föhn" when masses of air are crossing the Alps and descend on their northern side causing quite strong winds and even storms sometimes. The Alps would appear as if they were just 30 - 40 km away and as if they were under/behind a magnifying glass. Then parts of the Alps within Germany, Austria and Switzerland can be seen - including for example the highest mountain of Germany, the Zugspitze. It's a quite panoramic view of the central part of the Alpine mountain range.
The "Rathaus" has nothing to do with Rats its the "City Hall" of a Town and also the Mayors official Residence. "Rat" means "Advice" in german and is also used as a Title of a City Councilman (Stadtrat).
You've quoted the easy version. The real version is: "In Ulm und um Ulm und um Ulm herum" just meaning "in Ulm and around Ulm and full circle around Ulm"
Actually there is two New Ulms in the USA. Except one is named after Ulm, and is just the "New" version of that; and the other is just one for one named after "Neu Ulm", Ulm's sister city on the other side of the Danube. Which is definitely not confusing at all.
First of all: Welcome to Germany Steve. I am sure you will get thes best tour guides ever and you will not feel getting lost 😀Hi Risa, Willa, Noa and Tanner. Yes, Ulm its a nice town and worth to visit. Hope Steve liked it as well. First time for him in Europe ? Cross my fingers for sunny in the swiss alps ith great views and hikes as well. Cu in the next video. Have fun
Thanks! Germany and Switzerland were great other than some lost luggage, 😬😂. You're right about the tour guides, best ever. Stay tuned for the Switzerland video, I haven't seen it, but I lived it so I'm sure it will be great! I have been to Europe one previous time just over a year ago.
@@stevehobbs9312 Steve, not sure what was in your luggage but hope Tanners underwear has fit as well. Just see it from a positive side: how is life without such kind of challenges, just boring 😀 😂
I used to live near there (in Schelklingen), the nature is so beautiful, plenty of hiking and really friendly locals! That 80s background music though - I'm expecting Michael J. Fox starting his new career at any minute 😅
I don't know where you're heading in Switzerland, but the weather right now is gorgeous. I would highly recommend visiting Lucerne to you. It is as gorgeous as a city can get. Take the boat ride, you'll find even old original steamboats to take.
Some beautiful spots to visit for everyone: maria alm am steinernen meer in Austria, Lechtal in Austria, the island krk and neighboring islands in croatia, Heidelberg in germany (especially the castle), the old castle and the tower above geislingen an der steige (helfenstein & ödenturm) and also the ostlandkreuz there. Those are just the places I've been to (and grown up near them in the case of geislingen). Also if you're interested in technology and vehicles of all kind there are some great museums near heidelberg: the technikmuseum (two locations, one in Speyer and one in sinsheim, both highly recommended), and the Hockenheimring is close by. Make sure to check if there's an event there, usually on fridays you can get onto the grandstands at the start finish straight for free so you can watch them go round the track during practice. Other museums to visit if you're into aviation are Leipheim in bavaria, an old air base that used to be part of Messerschmitt and is now a museum, the dornier museum and the zeppelin museum both in friedrichshafen.
I'm living in the south of Baden-Württemberg. Well, in my town (15.000 citizens), all REWE in my area close at midnight, since decades. Edeka at 20 pm. Even at Saturday. And regarding "Spätzle": Spätzle are "scraped" from a wooden board into boiling water. Not so talented people (like me :-)) are using a Spätzle press. So, original Swabian Spätzle look like "stings", like noodles. This one (like served in e.g. Bavaria) look like little knobs or drops. And that's the reason why we (here in Baden-Württemberg, at least in my area) call this "Knöpfle" (little knobs) and not Spätzle. It's like calling all types of Italien pasta spaghetti. ...smartass mode off 🙂 ok, ok the main thing is that it tastes good.
I like your way of traveling and trying new things. I think you would also enjoy visiting the Wartburg near Eisenach in Thuringia? It is the place where martin Luther translated the Bible from Latin into German and it is a UNESCO world heritage and you can see the original room and furniture. AND: Thüringer Bratwurst is also quite famous (I think you already tried it)

Oh gosh haha! We know how to pronounce crepe. Sometimes the camera or how quick we talk can make words sound weird, but we assure you, we don’t say creep when talking about crepes 😂
What a nice city to be, nice that you had such a wonderful weather to enjoy Ulm. Now non alcoholic beer is much better and you can have so much more options. The breweries are much more into it to create also a tasty non alcoholic beer. The crepe was huge.
3:17 I have also wondered in the past why some houses of that vintage lean and others do not. One convincing answer I got was that it is due to the ground these houses were built on. But not in the sense that the builders were too dumb (or greedy) to look for solid ground. Look at all the houses built in Amsterdam or Venice. Those were built on stilts. Oak logs rammed into the ground to stabilize it. No, the reason I was given was: the frequent fires. As every self-respecting city went through lots of fires it also was built up afterwards. The rubble was leveled and new houses built on it.But in the rubble was also degradable material. Like the beams which were no more usable and left in the ground. So over time the supposedly level place became uneven and made the house sink in unevenly.
Uuuuhh, your father is here, that's literally calling for a new Mettbrötchen video a.k.a. how to torment an American on vacation 😈. It would be great if you tried Kaiserschmarrn in Austria and Malzbier in Germany. Your family is great, keep it up!!!! We love Willa and Noa.
The beer you got was not actually pure beer. It was Radler, which is half beer, half lemonade. So you still haven't tried proper beer, Risa :) I actually prefer Radler bc it's less bitter than pure beer. My favorite is Gösser from Austria.
That's a really beautiful video about your visit to Ulm. I'd recommend to you coming back to Ulm for Schwörmontag on July 24th (see my earlier comment).
May I ask... how do you handle nursing during your trips? Do you use bottles? Did you try breastfeeding like semipublically? Are there any differences in your experinces compared to Utah? PS: the Germany version of 'oopsy daisy' is 'uppsala' like the Swedish city north of Stockholm (but that's just coincidence)
We have heard Willa say uppsala so that’s interesting!! We didn’t know what it meant… until now so thanks 😊 As for your question, I breastfeed wherever I am and when Noa is hungry😊 just have to find a place to sit down to be comfortable. It’s the same as I did in Utah. Sometimes I get some “stares” but nothing rude in either place. ☺️
Nice Vlog, I hope you don't mind me asking, but do you guys drink coffee? Only asking because I have some friends who are Mormons and they do not drink coffee...
Nooo, Maultaschen aren't feed bags, they say that the name came from the original word "Maulbronner Nudeltaschen" (Maulbronn was a monastery) - they were filled with meat and invented to fool God on fast days.
That really would be a great idea, but honestly we want to make sure we respect their privacy with their lives right now. We’d love to do something like that at some point though 💛

You are mostly making a big mistake by letting your own taste or ‚expectation’ rule the review of the food. ‘It is not the best’ sounds so we would say ‚Überheblich‘. Sorry, but how do you know that this is not the best? ‚It is no really what I like‘ would be a more appropiate reaction, I think😉
he simply compared it with all Käsespätzle he ever had - so those were not the best he ever had but better then those in Austria. It is a subjective statement and doesn't mean that they were not good in general. Don't misunderstand that please. Nobody thinks he is a "restaurant tester" or alike. Just speaking about his personal impressions.

Hope you can get to Augsburg one day. Was stationed there for 2 years. Beautiful and historical city
That would be fun! We need to put it on our bucketlist!
Maultaschen❤ Schwaben❤ Ulm❤
Enjoy your Life Guys
Please tell me which stores in Ulm are open on Sundays?
The beer you got was not actually pure beer. It was Radler, which is half beer, half lemonade. So you still haven't tried proper beer, Risa :) I actually prefer Radler bc it's less bitter than pure beer. My favorite is Gösser from Austria.
Ah man! Haha I guess I will have to try again! 😂
@@OurStorytoTell Augustiner is a good beginner's beer, I find. FYI you can get both beer and Radler with and without alcohol.
@@OurStorytoTell At least you didn't accidentally eat horse. Thanks Aldi "beef" lasagne: (
@@LenaHaussels I did not know this. I hope they got the alcohol free one!
@@LythaWausW the bottle looked like the alcohol free one
That's a really beautiful video about your visit to Ulm. I'd recommend to you coming back to Ulm for Schwörmontag on July 24th (see my earlier comment).
In love with ULM ❤😅 please visit us again
We would love to!
Idk why this suddenly popped up on my feed but since i live really close to ulm and spent lots of time there already i had to watch this 😂
Thanks for watching!! We hope you enjoyed it!
@@OurStorytoTell i did.
May I ask... how do you handle nursing during your trips? Do you use bottles? Did you try breastfeeding like semipublically?
Are there any differences in your experinces compared to Utah?
PS: the Germany version of 'oopsy daisy' is 'uppsala' like the Swedish city north of Stockholm (but that's just coincidence)
We have heard Willa say uppsala so that’s interesting!! We didn’t know what it meant… until now so thanks 😊
As for your question, I breastfeed wherever I am and when Noa is hungry😊 just have to find a place to sit down to be comfortable. It’s the same as I did in Utah. Sometimes I get some “stares” but nothing rude in either place. ☺️
really cool that you've been to ulm. and i can agree, it is one of the must see cities in germany. :)
Risa we actually say Oopsie Doopsie in German 😂
Really 😂😂
Clearly we had no idea haha
Yes beautiful, lived for 10 years there in the sixties and senties
My hometown ^^
Is the plaque of Einstein near the Mc Donalds still?
Not sure haha but probably! 😂
Ulm ist very nice. I life in the 90s not fare from there :-)
1983-1989 Pershing ,Neu-Ulm ,nuclear warriors preserving peace.
Ulm - beautiful city I have been living in for the last 25 years😊
Nice Vlog, I hope you don't mind me asking, but do you guys drink coffee? Only asking because I have some friends who are Mormons and they do not drink coffee...
Thanks! Personally, no we don’t drink coffee.
Well jumped, little lion! 😂
In Ulm, um Ulm , um Ulm rum. Say it 3 times fast.
Meine zweite heimat.
Sorry to say… but it’s not Ulmer Minster, it’s the Ulmer Münster
Looking back I mixed up the German and English versions 😂
@@OurStorytoTell
I thought so, that you mixed it. Just wanted to inform you, that you‘ve the possibility to correct the title.
Have a nice Sunday
Nooo, Maultaschen aren't feed bags, they say that the name came from the original word "Maulbronner Nudeltaschen" (Maulbronn was a monastery) - they were filled with meat and invented to fool God on fast days.
We definitely didn’t think it was a correct translation… just a weird one! 😂 Thanks for sharing the origination with us 😊
Oh no not another fooling God food! Those people who eat with napkins on their heads so God won't see....
@@OurStorytoTell And they are definitely no dumplings but filled noodle dough.
Could you make a video about how your Ukrainian friends are today and if you are still in contact?
That really would be a great idea, but honestly we want to make sure we respect their privacy with their lives right now. We’d love to do something like that at some point though 💛
Wonderful video, but I must say I'm a bit disappointed you missed the birthplace of the composer Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern-schplenden-schlitter-crasscrenbon-fried-digger-dingle-dangle-dongle-dungle-burstein-von-knacker-thrasher-apple-banger-horowitz-ticolensic-grander-knotty-spelltinkle-grandlich-grumblemeyer-spelterwasser-kurstlich-himbleeisen-bahnwagen-gutenabend-bitte-ein-nürnburger-bratwustle-gerspurten-mitzweimache-luber-hundsfut-gumberaber-shönendanker-kalbsfleisch-mittler-aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm. 🤣🐍
Oh darn, 😅 we missed that one!
Guuk, die munstha!
Кадры мелькают так же быстро, как ты тараторишь.....
Lot’s of interruptions from the kids
Kids talk! 😊 we are the ones choosing to record our families adventures, we don’t expect them to be quiet every time we film.
You are mostly making a big mistake by letting your own taste or ‚expectation’ rule the review of the food. ‘It is not the best’ sounds so we would say ‚Überheblich‘. Sorry, but how do you know that this is not the best? ‚It is no really what I like‘ would be a more appropiate reaction, I think😉
halt die gosch
he simply compared it with all Käsespätzle he ever had - so those were not the best he ever had but better then those in Austria. It is a subjective statement and doesn't mean that they were not good in general. Don't misunderstand that please. Nobody thinks he is a "restaurant tester" or alike. Just speaking about his personal impressions.
Yes this is what we mean when we make such comments! 😊 No harm done, just giving our personal experiences!
Mein Gott, Willa ist so groß geworden. Vielen Grüße aus Kroatien
You guys look very european :-)
Great compliment :) Thanks!
You guys have no idea. Showing crappy American type family restaurants and 0 attractions highlighting the Münster. The city has a lot, not what you presented. Try again.
We asked Germans what we should do & see in the city. This is what everyone recommended. Tell us what you would recommend next time 😊
