Cavalier Hepp
The cavalier Hepp is a cavalier of the classical state fortress in Ingolstadt .
It is a two-story, flat-roofed exposed brick building with side wings attached at obtuse angles and round stair towers. The construction of the Kavaliers Hepp began in 1838 and was completed in 1843, with a representative gate building in front of it. The defense structure was named after the major of the Bavarian army Kaspar von Hepp (1758 to 1806). In front of it is the outer cross gate, a representative gate with the two fortress builders Daniel Specklin / Speckle and Count Reinhard zu Solms-Münzenberg as full equestrian figures, executed by the Munich sculptor Professor Ernst Mayer (1796–1844).
The cavaliers lost their importance in Ingolstadt as early as 1875 when the outer fort belt was built. After the Second World War , emergency apartments were set up in the Kavalier Hepp. In 1973 the city council decided not to demolish the Kavalier Hepp, but to renovate it. In 1975 the city archive and scientific library moved into the Kavalier, followed by the Ingolstadt City Museum in 1981 .
