Get the ultimate frisbee mug.Ulm is a city in Germany, part of the Bundesland of Baden-Württemberg (about 100 km south-east of Stuttgart). Its population is slightly above 115,000. Ulm was also the birthplace of one of the 20th century's most famous people - Albert Einstein.
Ulm is first mentioned in 854 and was declared a city by Friedrich Barbarossa in 1164. Ulm blossomed during the 1500s and 1600s, mostly due to the export of textiles. These centuries also represented the zenith of art in Ulm, especially for painters and sculptors.
In 1803, it ceased to be an "Imperial Free City" and was absorbed into Bavaria. During the campaign of 1805, Napoleon managed to trap the invading Austrian army of General Mack in Ulm and forced it to surrender. In 1810, Ulm was incorporated into the Kingdom of Württemberg.
In 1938, it again became a "free city" (which means that it didn't belong to a county).
The Ulm Münster is the tallest church world wide. It is an example of Gothic ecclesiastical architecture in Germany – taking first place before Cologne Cathedral and the tallest church in the world. It has dominated the city and the region for hundreds of years and its name is, without doubt, a synonym for the city itself, at home and abroad. It has its spire, above all, to thank for this. With its 161 metres, it is the highest spire in the world. Those who climb its 768 steps of well worn stone are rewarded with a superb panoramic view of Baden-Württemberg's Ulm and Bavaria's Neu-Ulm and, in the right weather conditions, a vista of the Alpine range from Säntis to the Zugspitze.

Get the Ulrik mug.A small town, just outside the idilic lake district. This town is home to many festivals in which paedophiles, homosexuals, the mentally retarded and 14 year old thugs who just want to get drunk, come together to cause mass destruction and fright to all those in the town. Long haired, bandy legged moshers can be found in the town most noticeably at Lightburn park, The kiosk, various locations around the town center and ford park. It is also home to the finest school in Ulverston, Ulverston Victoria, who recenty failed there ofsted report for being too shit. The town is also home to 21 year old faggots who like to prey upon the hairy-legged, butch school girls of the town.
Ulverston is situated near Barrow-in-furness and Dalton which have high teenage pregnancy rates, large amounts of drugs from the "Liverpool Underground" (I not entirely sure why underground train drivers would want to sell drugs, but hey I'm not God, Michael Barrymore is) and more violence than you could shake a stick at.
There is also rumour that there is an underground tunnel from Ulverston which leads to Oz, I cannot confirm nor deny this.
Recent celebrities spotted in Ulverston include Garry Glitter, Angus Deayton, George Michael and Josef Fritzel.
Christmas is celebrated in March in Ulverston as many of the population of the town are either stupid or morbidly obese.
The town's largest industy is chemical-making with the large "Glaxo" factory on the south coast of the town, pumping out photo-chemical smog and dangerous gases into the town causing low visabilty, lung cancer, gingivitus and scurvy.
Lord Ulverston once said: "All yee who set foot through the fine walls of Ulverston shall be here-by be stabbed and thus thow body shall be thrown from thee bell tower by goats"
Lord Ulverston died shortly after, in 1999, from dementia.
