Philosophical-theological University of Freising
The Philosophical-Theological University of Freising was a philosophical-theological university in Freising that existed until 1969 .
The Prince-Bishop's Lyceum at Marienplatz existed in Freising until secularization in Bavaria . This was dissolved with the incorporation of the Hochstift Freising into Bavaria . The building still exists today.
The Lyceum, which had only been relocated from Munich to Landshut a few years earlier (as a replacement for today's Ludwig Maximilians University Munich ), was relocated to Freising in 1834 and a theological section was incorporated. The Lyceum was housed in the former royal stables on Toompea . The Dom-Gymnasium Freising was located in the same building . The seminary founded by Ludwig I had existed in the neighboring former prince-bishop's residence since 1826 . Since 1923 the institution has been called the Philosophical-Theological University of Freising.
In order to standardize the formation of priests, the number of seminaries should be reduced. The Freising seminary should be relocated to Munich. Due to the close interweaving of the seminary and university, this step would also have meant the end for the university. In September 1966, a state treaty between the Holy See and the Free State of Bavaria resolved to dissolve the Freising University. Due to the foreseeable end of the university, vacant chairs were no longer filled and the number of students fell from 162 (1965/66) to 82 (1967/68). Thereupon Cardinal Julius Döpfner arranged the premature transfer of the priestly training to Munich. Since the winter semester 1968/69 this has been taking place at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich .
Today the Freising Cathedral Library is located in the building .
