history

On November 14, 1867, the Munich – Ingolstadt railway line was opened. A commission consisting of representatives from the military and the state railway management decided to build a "Centralbahnhof" far south of the city. It was not until 1872, after the extension of the line to Treuchtlingen and the construction of the Danube Valley Railway to Donauwörth , that the construction of the Central Station began at its current location , according to plans by the architect Jakob Graff , which opened on June 1, 1874.

A settlement quickly developed around the station with the Oberbahnamt, Postexpedition and Telegrrafenamt. In the 1885 census, there were already 342 residents in what was then Centralbahnhof .

In 1895 a church building association was founded with the aim of building a separate church for the southern district of Ingolstadt. About seven years later, St. Anton became an independent parish. The foundation stone for the first Antonius Church was laid on July 26, 1914. After it was destroyed in an air raid on the tracks of the main train station on April 11, 1945, it was rebuilt from 1946.
