Visit the Mayor's Office
 On
behalf of the Cullman City Council and the citizens
of the City of Cullman, welcome to the official web
site for the City of Cullman, Alabama. Thank you for
taking the time to visit. Please allow me to tell
you a little bit about the City of Cullman.
 The
2000 U.S. Census listed the
population of the City of
Cullman as 13,972. We are
centrally located between
Huntsville and Birmingham. Cullman was
founded in 1873 by a
German immigrant named
Col.
John Gottfried Cullmann. Our
city government
consists of a mayor and a five-member city council,
all of whom are elected by popular vote to serve concurrent
four-year terms. We have an outstanding
school system that
consistently ranks among the top in Alabama. We have
abundant
law enforcement
and
emergency services, low crime rate, excellent
health care facilities, a vast, well-trained labor
force and an extensive
transportation network. Cullman is recognized
as an outstanding community in sectors of
agriculture and
industry. There are currently over
50 major industries
located in Cullman.
 Cullman is an area of unsurpassed
natural beauty! Our
climate
is pleasantly mild with warm summers and moderate
winters. We have many beautiful
parks and recreational
facilities which offer year-round
recreational opportunities for people of all ages!
We also have an open-air farmers market at the
Festhalle Market
Platz, Alabama's largest timber frame structure!
 People travel to Cullman from all
over the world to view our many
attractions
including the Ave Maria Grotto,
which is located on the grounds of Alabama's only
Benedictine Abbey and consists of more than 125
miniature reproductions of famous sites from all
over the world!
Our "Sister City" is
Frankweiler, Germany, hometown of our founder.
Not long after the twinning of the cities in 1987,
Cullman residents formed the Cullman Friends of
Frankweiler Club and Frankweiler residents formed
the Frankweiler Friends of Cullman Club. Visits have
taken place between our two cities every couple of
years.
The City of Cullman web site was
designed to provide our citizens, visitors and
others with valuable information about our
community. We've included information about our
government,
departments,
services,
location,
history,
tourist attractions and
much more! We hope
you will find this information useful and
interesting. We welcome any
comments or suggestions you may have.
If you have never had the
opportunity to visit Cullman, I would like to
personally invite you to do so. The
Cullman Area Chamber of
Commerce can provide you with visitor
information including names of area hotels, maps, list
of recreational events and much more!
I hope you enjoy your visit to
the City of Cullman site!
