The Ulm Münster is the highest church in the world with 161.53 m height. The originally catholic church was started in 1377 as a parish church within the city walls, as the previous one was situated far outside the city. In the fifteenth century the foundations had to be strengthened and the side aisles had to be re-erected to support the enormous weight of the west tower. 1530/1531, the church became Protestant, as the population of Ulm decided for the Protestant faith. From 1543 on, the construction was disrupted for over 300 years because of political tensions and money shortages. In 1844 the construction was resumed, so that the Minster could be inaugurated on 29 June 1890. #Alemania #Allemagne #BadeWurtemberg #BadenWürttemberg #cathedral #cathédrale #chiesa #church #Deutschland #Dom #duomo #evangelisch #Germany #gothic #Gotik #gotisch #Kirche #Kirchturm #minster #Münster #protestant #Schwaben #Ulm #Ulmer #église
