Neu-Ulm was created in 1810, when the part of Ulm to the south of the River Danube became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. It was then called New-Ulm, or New Ulm, to differentiate it from the existing town of Ulm. The city received a boost when it was selected as the site of the Bundesfestung, or Federal Fort, in 1841.

After the Second World War, the US military maintained a presence until 1991. When they pulled out, it had a major impact on the local economy.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
