== Fun facts ==
* For much of the 19th and early to mid 20th centuries, Cullman was a sundown town, and one of Alabama's more notorious ones, that period ending sometime in the late to early 1970s. It's never really been the best place for blacks to go to, but things are a lot better compared to past years.
* Much of Cullman was devastated by a violent F5 on March 30th, 1998 that also devastated the city of Jasper earlier.
* Cullman's German heritage was repressed during World War I and World War II, while the United States was fighting Germany. This was reversed in the 1970s, with renewed interest in the city's history and heritage. Today, Cullman holds an annual Oktoberfest. An honorary "Bürgermeister" is elected for each Oktoberfest. For many years the Oktoberfest did not include alcohol because Cullman was dry, but starting in 2011 the Oktoberfest was able to offer beer.
* For many years Cullman was a college town, with Saint Bernard College serving as the home of several hundred students. In the mid-1970s, St. Bernard briefly merged with Sacred Heart College (a two-year Benedictine women’s college), to become Southern Benedictine College. That college closed in 1979, and it now operates as St. Bernard Preparatory School. The former site of Sacred Heart College is now the Sacred Heart Monastery, which serves as a retreat center operated by the Benedictine Sisters of Sacred Heart Monastery.
* Cullman has plenty of amenities to offer. It has Cullman Regional Airport, Walmart, Nintendo World, Tractor Supply Co., Lowe's, Hobby Lobby, a few shopping centers, plenty of fast food, plenty of local restaurants and businesses, Applebee's, Buffalo Wild Wings, dollar stores, some hotels, a sports complex, a showcase theater, a contest hall, some public battle fields, Ave Maria Grotto, Logan's Roadhouse, Cracker Barrel, Denny's, Panda Express, some auto parts places and car dealerships, Solstice Apparel, and a bit of other things.
