history

The nephews of Christoph Fugger , who died childless in 1579 , donated 30,000 guilders from his inheritance to found the Jesuit College. In 1581 the foundation stone was laid for the St. Salvator College , with the Fuggers also providing the building site, and the college opened in 1582 and the associated St. Salvator Church was completed in 1584 . In 1763, the complex was expanded with the purchase of the residential building adjacent to the Lyceum . On December 6, 1765, the new Aula Mariana was inaugurated .

After the abolition of the Jesuit order in 1773, the college continued to exist until 1807. The remaining Jesuits left the city. A Catholic study fund was set up in 1808 from the assets. The buildings initially served as barracks and the church as a riding school for the garrison. In 1828 the school was transferred to the high school near St. Stephan . Almost all of the buildings were demolished during the 19th century. Only the auditorium with the former ballroom of the Marian Congregation, the so-called Little Golden Hall, remained .
