The Ulm burl wood pipes will be of particular interest to collectors when they have a specimen in their hand. These root pipes have their own character, if only because of the restlessly structured wood. The pores are of different sizes and the wood is heavy, similar to beech or oak. The decoration of these pipe bowls are the silver decorations. There is very little literature on the Ulm pipe, which is so important and popular among collectors. As a rule, this type of pipe is only touched on in passing in many books. But there are two monographs that deal exclusively with this topic: One of the main works is the book by Adolf Häberle from 1950, whereby the pipe is only one of several other tobacco topics. The second work is the beautifully illustrated book by Anton Manger, in which he illustrated a large part of his outstanding collection.<ref>Häberle: Ulmer; Manger: Ulmer</ref>

=== The beginnings of pipe production in Ulm ===


When we talk about pipes from Ulm, we are not only referring to today's urban area of ​​Ulm. The name refers to the formerly very large state of Ulm, which stretched from Göppingen to Günzburg and from the heights of Heidenheim / Brenz to below Neu-Ulm and expanded in a west-east and north-south direction of about 30 km. The state of Ulm was created in the period between 1377-1399; until 1571 the city acquired even larger areas of land, probably due to its wealth created by the textile industry. In 1396 Geislingen an der Steige and Helfenstein Castle as well as 26 other villages in the Ulmer Alb were added.<ref>Osiander: Ulm, p. 8.</ref> This is important because in the state of Ulm pipemakers are mentioned who started on 22 May 1695 submitted an application to the city to be allowed to sell their products in Ulm.
