FORTE CULTURA Station: Bavarian State Fortress Ingolstadt (DE)
The Schanz - major fortress system on the Danube
Discover fortress history and modernity in the city of transformation
Ingolstadt impresses with its architectural splendour and rich history. Fortified and continuously expanded from the 13th century onwards, the royal Bavarian state fortress set new standards in the 19th century as the most modern polygonal fortification of its time. Two fortification rings with over 30 outer forts form the upstream barriers of the large fortification system.
Visit the Bavarian Army Museum in the late medieval New Castle, the former citadel of the state fortress. Or stroll along the medieval and modern city walls and enjoy the many walking paths in the Glacis or along the Künettegraben. Switch to the southern side of the Danube and explore the classicist Reduit Tilly, the centrepiece of the bridgehead with the two flanking batteries and the Klenzepark.
