a free and imperial city of Germany, in the circle of Swabia, seated on the river Iller. It is a pretty large place, defended by fortifications; and the inhabitants are Protestants. Here the archives of the circle are deposited, and it carries on a very great trade. The elector of Bavaria became master of it, in 1702, by a stratagem; but, in 1704, the French being vanquished at the battle of Hochstett, the Bavarians surrendered it by capitulation. The Roman Catholics have but two churches, all the rest belonging to the Protestants. E. Long. 10. 12. N. Lat. 48. 25.
