[edit] History and culture

Ingolstadt was first mentioned in a document of Charlemagne on 6 February 806 as "Ingoldes stat", the place of Ingold. About 1250 Ingolstadt was granted city status.

Ingolstadt was the capital of the duchy Bavaria-Ingolstadt between 1392 and 1447. Then Ingolstadt was united with Bavaria-Landshut. Louis VII, Duke of Bavaria ordered to build the New Castle, which is strongly influenced by French Gothic. In 1472 Louis IX, Duke of Bavaria founded the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Ingolstadt, which was moved to Landshut in 1800 and finally to Munich.

On the 30 April 1632 the german fieldmarshall Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly died in Ingolstadt, during the Swedish siege. The fieldmarshall had been badly hurt in a previous engagement with the Swedes under King Gustavus Adolphus. Ingolstadt proved to be the first fortress in Germany that held out for the entire length of the Swedish siege, and the Swedes eventually withdrew.

Another piece of history is that Gustavus Adoplhus horse can be seen in the Museum of the Bavarian Army in the city. The horse was shoot from under the king, by one of the cannons inside the fortress. The cannon was at that time known as "The Fig". When the swedes withdrew the remains of the horse was taken cared of, and it was eventually put on display, and has remained so for almost 400 years.

Originally a fortress city, Ingolstadt is enclosed in a medieval defensive wall. The Bavarian fortress (1537-1930) nowadays holds the museum of the Bavarian army. During World War I, future France president Charles de Gaulle was detained there as a prisoner of war. A sapper's drill ground is still crossing the river, two military air bases are nearby, one used for testing airplanes. The long military tradition of the city is reflected in today's civil and cultural life. Former "off limit" grounds are now well used public parks, the famous writer Marieluise Fleißer wrote Pioniere in Ingolstadt in 1928.

Ingolstadt was the city where William IV, Duke of Bavaria wrote and signed the Bavarian Reinheitsgebot in 1516, the eldest food law still in use. Adolf Scherzer composed the Bayerischen Defiliermarsch, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is related to the Ingolstädter alte Anatomie, now museum for medical history. In 1748, Adam Weishaupt was born in Ingolstadt.

[edit] Literary references

Ingolstadt is the setting for Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's novel Frankenstein and is a pivotal location in The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson.

Dr. Faust is mentioned in an old and short local Tale.

The X-Files episode, "The Post-Modern Prometheus", makes a reference to the University of Ingolstadt. This was an allusion to Frankenstein, as the episode was filled with Frankenstein references and the full title of Frankenstein is actually "Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus."
