Although she was living in the hometown of Einstein, she looked around and didn’t see much to connect the city with the world-famous scientist. She found other Ulm locals who felt the same way and together they created an organization dedicated to bringing him back, through the nonprofit Albert Einstein Discovery Center Ulm. They began making plans, raising funds and talking to the city government, which caught their enthusiasm and offered them land to build in the city center. Further support came from Ulm’s inhabitants, nearby tech corporations and Einstein enthusiasts all over the world, including four Nobel Prize laureates: Bert Sakmann, who won in 1991 for physiology / medicine; Reinhard Genzel, who won in 2020 for physics; Anton Zeilinger, Nobel laureate in physics 2022; and Wolfgang Ketterle, the MIT professor who received a Nobel Prize for physics in 2001.
