Ducal Georgianum
The Munich-based Ducal Georgianum is - after the Roman Almo Collegio Capranica - the second- oldest Catholic seminary in the world. The building of the seminary is located at the Ludwig street opposite the main building of the Ludwig- Maximilians- University, and was as well designed this by court architect Friedrich von Gärtner.
The seminary was founded in 1494 by Duke George the Rich in Ingolstadt as Duke Georigen Collegium, the local building bears the name Georgianum today. Over time, it became known as Collegium Georgianum. In May 1800, the seminar was first laid together with the university to Landshut and Munich on October 3, 1826. In today's building, which was built from 1835 to 1840 in the years after plans by Friedrich von Gärtner, there is also a collection of religious art from the 11th to 19th centuries, including Passion panels, monstrance, cribs, liturgical items and vestments.
Head of the house was in the period of reconstruction after the Second World War, Joseph Pascher, according to him Walter Dürig and Reiner Kaczynski; today's director since 2005, a native of the diocese of Essen priest Winfried Haunerland - all directors mentioned here were or are each Chair of Liturgical Studies at the Ludwig- Maximilians- University.
