A little about New Ulm...

New Ulm is a city in Brown County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 13,594 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Brown County. It is famous for a statue of Hermann the German. The city was founded in 1854 by German Immigrants: Christian Ludwig Meyer, Alois Palmer, Athanasius Henle, and Franz Massopoust.
Today Ulm is New Ulm's sister city. In part due to the city's German heritage, it is a center for brewing in the Upper Midwest, home to the historic, storied August Schell Brewing Company.

The most famous landmark in New Ulm is the impressive Hermann Monument which sits high on a hill overlooking the town. The Hermann Monument in New Ulm dominates the Minnesota River Valley skyline. Inspired by a similar monument called Hermannsdenkmal near Detmold, Germany, this colossal figure served as an important symbol for members of Sons of Hermann, a fraternal organization of German Americans.
