Cullman, Alabama - German Roots in the Foothills
Colonel John Cullman, a German immigrant and businessman, founded this north Alabama city in 1873 as a colony for German-speaking settlers. The town's layout and early architecture reflected its European origins, and German cultural festivals persisted well into the twentieth century. Today the city serves as the seat of Cullman County and has a population of roughly 15,350.
The Ave Maria Grotto, located on the grounds of St. Bernard Abbey southeast of downtown, draws visitors from across the Southeast. Brother Joseph Zoettl, a Benedictine monk, spent decades building miniature reproductions of famous religious structures from concrete, stone, and found materials. The collection of over 125 small-scale buildings sits in a landscaped four-acre garden. Cullman's Smith Lake, a few miles south, is considered one of Alabama's cleanest bodies of water and attracts recreational boaters year-round.
