Ingolstadt

I've found some blips not far from the center of Ingolstadt, but no picture from the center itself. So, this is it....

Here you can see the churches of Saint Maurice (Moritz Kirche - from 1234) with the Whistle Tower (Pfeifturm) - in former times there was someone living up there and looking for fire in the city and if there was a fire he would whistle....

Literary references (Wikipedia)

"Ingolstadt is one of the many settings in Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. Primarily, Victor Frankenstein attends university in Ingolstadt. The musical version of the novel, Frankenstein - A New Musical has many scenes set in Ingolstadt.
Ingolstadt is also 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 sixth scene of "Mother Courage and Her Children" by "Bertolt Brecht" is set in Ingolstadt, when count Tilly died in 1632, during the "Thirty Years War"
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" (also see: Prometheus)."
