Reduit Tilly

The Reduit Tilly stands on the southern bank of the Danube River as part of the extensive Ingolstadt Fortress complex, featuring symmetrical architecture and classical elements.

Built between 1828 and 1841 under King Ludwig I, architect Leo von Klenze designed this structure as a protective bridgehead during the modernization of Ingolstadt's defenses.

The fortress now houses the Museum of the First World War as part of the Bavarian Army Museum, displaying military artifacts and historical exhibitions.

Visitors can explore the fortress daily from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with convenient parking available at the underground garage on Regimentstraße.

The structure functions as an outdoor performance venue since 2020, combining historical preservation with contemporary cultural events in the Klenzepark setting.
