KULM (Cu1,M) . (I) A town of Germany, in the province of West Prussia, 33 M. by rail N.W. of Thorn, on an
elevation
  above the plain, and 1 m. E. of the Vistula. Pop. (1905), 11.665. It is surrounded by old walls, dating from the 13th century, and contains some interesting buildings, notably its churches, of which two are Roman Catholic and two
Protestant
 , and its medieval town-
hall
 . The
cadet
  school, founded here in 1776 by Frederick the

Kulm gives name to the oldest bishopric in Prussia, although the bishop resides at Pelplin. It was presented about 1220 by Duke
