formerly a free and imperial city of Germany, but now belonging to Bavaria. It is a pretty large place, defended by fortifications; and the inhabitants, who are chiefly Protestants, amounted to 14,000 in 1800. The town is seated on the Danube, a little above the confluence of that river and the Ilter, and carries on a considerable trade. It has many handsome buildings. The principal church is a magnificent Gothic edifice, and is said to surpass all the cathedrals in Germany in height. The Roman Catholics have but two churches, all the rest belonging to the Protestants.
