Government building (Ingolstadt)
The government building was an administrative building on Rathausplatz (then Gouvernementsplatz ) in Ingolstadt and housed the military administration and the offices of the governor of the state fortress . After Ingolstadt lost its rank as the main state fortress in 1914 , the facility was officially referred to as the commandant's office .
history
The building was created from 1873 to 1874 by merging and converting the so-called Kandlerhaus and the former municipal customs and weighing house . The three-storey building with a hipped roof and a broad facade, kept in simple neoclassical forms, formed the north-eastern end of the Gouvernementsplatz. In front of it was the fountain that is now on Paradeplatz and the guard building.
The building was badly damaged by an air raid on April 26, 1945 and burned down. The ruin was demolished after the war together with the neighboring Salzstadel and the nearby Augustinian Church . In place of the government building, the New Town Hall was built between 1957 and 1960 .
