In the 18th
century, Germans left Ulm, aboard small barges
typical of Ulm called "Ulmer
Schachtel" (box of Ulm) and sailed
the Danube to Vienna, where they registered for
their land in southeast Europe.DS Descendants
after World War II were banished from their
homelands and fate returned them back to the
country of their forefathers.
This event is held every other year in Ulm,
Germany. Some individual villages have
their own reunion between the Ulmer Treffen
meetings.
This meeting
occurs on Pentecost weekend in even-numbered
years in Ulm, Germany. Thousands of
Banaters attended the meetings at the Donauhalle.
It is no accident that Ulm was chosen as the
site of this meeting since it was on the shores
of the Donau at Ulm that their forefathers built
the rafts and barges used to float down the
river on their way to the Banat.

Leaving the Danube banks
Walking back
through the alley way towards the pedestrian
walk, you can see the architecture of this
particular building which catches the eye. The
artistry and details are absolutely
impressive. Below is a close-up of the Muriel
painted on one of the buildings.
