Ingolstadt

Understand

Ingolstadt is the youngest city in Germany. Although it counts over 120000 citizens today, some people still call it a village, since it can't keep up with the big city charme of Nuremberg and Munich.In the past Ingolstadt was mainly known for hosting the first Bavarian University and its military fortress facilities. The latter is the reason, why some citizens of Ingolstadt still call each other Schanzer from verschanzen: to fortify.It is also the city where Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati.
