The former Georgianum in Ingolstadt

The Herzogliche Georgianum is a Roman Catholic seminary based in Munich .

overview

The Ducal Georgianum is - after the Roman Almo Collegio Capranica - the second oldest Catholic seminary in the world. The seminary building is located on Ludwigstrasse opposite the main building of the Ludwig Maximilians University and, like this, was designed by the court architect Friedrich von Gärtner .

The seminary was founded in 1494 by Duke Georg the Rich in Ingolstadt as Duke Georigen Collegium , the building there still bears the name Georgianum today. Over time, it became known as the Collegium Georgianum . In May 1800 the seminar and the university were relocated to Landshut and on October 3, 1826 to Munich. In the current building, which was built between 1835 and 1840 according to plans by Friedrich von Gärtner , there is also a collection of sacred art from the 11th to 19th centuries, including passion tablets, monstrances , cribs, liturgical implements and vestments.

Today seminary seminarians from various Bavarian dioceses as well as from other dioceses all over the world live in the Georgianum. In addition to its main purpose as a seminary, the Georgianum now serves as a priests college for studying priests. For some years now, some students from other disciplines have also lived in the house.

During the time of reconstruction after the Second World War, the house was headed by Joseph Pascher , followed by Walter Dürig and Reiner Kaczynski . Winfried Haunerland , who comes from the diocese of Essen , has been director of the Georgianum since 2005 . All named directors were or are each holder of the chair for liturgical science at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität.
