Old Mint Ulm is a real decoration of the city: the building was built in the mid 16th century. Initially, the functional purpose of home combined with his name - is actually making money. The power of the city during the Middle Ages was largely based on the fact that it was built solidly. Wooden buildings of special oak beautifully preserved, among them the Old Mint.

At the end of the 16th century, namely in 1589, the ground floor of a wooden Mint lined with brick. But in 1620, we had two floors are built in such a wonderful and traditional German half-timbered style. The neighborhood of brick and dark wood, a special plaster - all that remained to this day.

Beginning in 1624 the appointment of a building is constantly changing here, in front of no less famous "incident" at home, between two arms of a small river Blau was and creamery, and the malt mill. In each case, the building was reconstructed a bit, changed its interior decoration. One of the reminders of what happened here, is considered to be a water wheel, which is preserved on the south side of the building. This continued until the mid-20th century. Mint quite badly damaged by the impact of aviation in 1944, but today the building is restored and serves as one of the tourist points of the program.
