"Priceless or Irreplaceable: Assessing Value - En route to the Open Memorial Day in Ingolstadt"

In the heart of Bavaria, the historic city of Ingolstadt played host to a captivating event on Sunday - Heritage Day. This annual celebration saw numerous buildings, including the Kavalier Building at the New Castle, open their doors to the public.

The Kavalier Building, with its integrated city wall sections, was one of the highlights of the day. City heritage manager and museum director Tobias Schönauer guided visitors through the building, which also houses the Bavarian Army Museum's workshops.

The tour began early in the morning, with the first stop being a historical home located at Kupferstraße 12. The owners of this property have a special plan for the future, although details remain under wraps for now.

The second station on the tour was equally fascinating. The home at Kupferstraße 12, with its hidden inner values, offered a glimpse into Ingolstadt's rich cultural history. The atmosphere was quieter and more intimate, providing visitors with a unique and personal experience.

The third station was the historical building at Goldknopfgasse 2, where the Canisius Foundation is setting up student apartments. The tour concluded at the Marieluise Fleißer House, where cultural history was presented biographically.

Three out of the four stations visited during Heritage Day were not accessible in the past years, making this event a rare opportunity for the public to explore these hidden gems. The theme of the day was 'Priceless: invaluable or irreplaceable?', encouraging visitors to appreciate the city's heritage and the value of preserving it.

Restoration work at the Kavalier Building began in 2023, ensuring that this historical landmark will continue to stand as a testament to Ingolstadt's past for generations to come. The event, organised by the foundation 'Stiftung Studierendenwerk Wien', was a resounding success, offering a unique and enriching experience for all who attended.
