history

In the early 16th century, the canonical court at that time probably belonged to Herr von Rechberg. The entrance to the courtyard is marked with the year 1578. Around 1625 the canon Wolfgang Blarer von Wartensee had a new building built, a three-storey four-wing complex with a corner oriel tower.

The Ulm court was named after the canon of Eichstätt Karl Ferdinand and Ernst von Ulm zu Erbach. In 1688 the Eichstätter court architect Jakob Engel was commissioned to design the baroque palace and the building was given its current appearance. The calm facades are shaped by Jakob Engel's preferred architectural elements: the corner bay window and the profiled window roofs that alternate between triangles and segmental arches.

The Eichstatt restaurateur Georg Joseph Gruber had owned the palace since the beginning of the 19th century. In 1842, Bishop Karl August Graf von Reisach acquired the Ulm court and handed the building over to the state for use, which established a humanistic grammar school there, which later became the Willibald grammar school. In return, Graf von Reisach received the seminary that was secularized in 1806. In 1977 the Willibald-Gymnasium moved to a new building on the Schottenau. The state returned the building.

Between 1978 and 1980 the architect Karljosef Schattner rebuilt and rebuilt it to create a theology department library of the Catholic University. The former inner courtyard was covered with a light-looking spanning made of steel trusses and trapezoidal sheets.

This is where the branch library 1 of the Eichstätter university library is located with the holdings of theology, philosophy and musicology. The walled-up arcades on the ground floor were reopened and the columns exposed. A large-scale, glazed steel construction gives a glimpse into the reading room and the book galleries opposite. The offices of the theological and religious education faculties were housed in the surrounding three-winged complex.
