Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Nu Olm is really no German city, town or village.
But I assume it is Neu Ulm, which is in Bavaria.

In Germany you need to register your place of living ... always, what makes it easy to find people. With adoption it is a little bit different, because the real parents can ask to surpress information.

With the complete name (all given names), date and place of birth a person can be identified in Germany uniquely. So the correct speling of the town is important.
If you have that info, write a letter to the "Einwohnermeldeamt" (inhabitants registration office) of the local local authority (Rathaus). If there is no surpression on the records, they can provide the details of her parents to you (usually you will have to pay a fee).
Alternatively try an advert in the local newspaper (Wer kennt ...), since a lot of Germans stick to their hometown, so your relatives either live there, or some people who know them will live there.
