Altomünster

Located 37 kilometers from Munich, Altomünster spans across 75 square kilometers of land with an elevation of 518 meters above sea level.

The settlement traces its origins to 750 AD when monk Alto established a small monastery, which later transformed into a Benedictine institution before the year 1000.

The marketplace, constructed by Ingolstadt dukes in 1420, remains central to the municipality's layout and continues to function as a community gathering space.

The municipality maintains essential services for its 8,064 residents through a network of schools, medical facilities, and public transportation connections to surrounding cities.

The Order of St. Bridget monastery, established in 1496, stands as the final operating institution of this religious order in Germany.
