A few words on Ingolstadt
Frankenstein, the Illuminati, and the car that conquered the world.
Mary Shelley set Frankenstein in Ingolstadt for a reason. The University of Ingolstadt, founded in 1472, was where Copernicus studied and where Johann Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati in 1776. It had a reputation as a place of dangerous ideas. The building where Victor Frankenstein animated his creature, the Alte Anatomie on Anatomiestrasse, still stands and is now a medical history museum. Shelley never visited the city but the atmosphere she gave it, rationalist, a little dangerous, brilliant and morally ambiguous, turns out to have been accurate.
The fortress that made Ingolstadt famous in military history was never taken.
During the Thirty Years War in 1632, the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus besieged it and failed. Field Marshal Tilly, the Catholic League's commander, died here from a cannonball wound. The Kreuztor gate, built in 1385, and the Gothic Church of Our Lady begun in 1425 are the best surviving markers of the medieval city. The New Castle, which dates from 1418, now houses the Bavarian Army Museum.

Ingolstadt FAQ
Before you walk.
Yes, and it is free to enter. The Audi museum at the Forum on Ettinger Strasse holds a strong collection of Auto Union racing cars, historic Audis and concept vehicles. The factory tours require advance booking and fill up quickly. It is about three kilometres from the old town, easily reached by bus or taxi.
Spring and summer are most pleasant for exploring the Glacis green belt and the riverside areas. The historic centre is year-round but summer weekdays offer the best balance of good weather and manageable crowds. The Jakobifest market in late July is a large traditional fair that fills the centre for four days.
The old town highlights, including the Kreuztor, the Alte Anatomie, the Church of Our Lady and the Bavarian Army Museum, can be seen in a focused half day. Add the Audi Forum and the Glaspalast contemporary art gallery for a full day. It makes a convenient stop between Munich and Nuremberg.
Much of the pedestrianised old town is accessible, but some streets near the Kreuztor and the older residential areas have cobblestones. The Glacis park paths are smooth and flat. Museum access varies, so it is worth checking individual venue websites for current accessibility information.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
