About
The University of Ingolstadt was a private university in the city of Ingolstadt in Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 1472 by Louis the Rich, serving as the Duke of Bavaria at the time, its first Chancellor was the Bishop of Eichstätt. It consisted of four faculties: theology, law, artes liberales and medicine, all of which were contained in the Hoheschule, or "the high school'; furthermore, the university was modeled after the University of Vienna. Its chief goal was the propagation of the Christian faith. The university closed in May 1800, by order of the Prince-elector Maximilian IV (later Maximilian I, King of Bavaria).
