Ingolstadt, known as Aureatum or Chrysopolis, was a royal villa in the beginning of the 9th century, and received its charter of civic incorporation before 1255, and later became the capital of a dukedom which merged in that of Bavaria-Munich. The fortifications were erected in 1539. In 1800 the French, under General Moreau, took the town, and dismantled the fortifications. They were rebuilt on a much larger scale under King Louis I., and after 187o Ingolstadt ranked as an important fortress. The principal buildings are the old palace of the dukes of Bavaria Ingolstadt ; the remains of the earliest Jesuits' college in Germany, founded in 1555; the former university buildings, now a school; and the large Gothic Frauenkirche, founded in 1425, with two massive towers, containing the tomb of Dr. Eck,' Luther's oppo nent. In 1472 a university was founded in the town by the Ba varian duke, Louis the Rich, which at the end of the i6th century was attended by 4,00o students. In 1800 it was removed to Landshut, whence it was transferred to Munich in 1826. The in dustries are metal founding and the manufacture of locomotives and machinery.
