The history of the origin of Frankenstein

The famous Figure Frankenstein is not only a monster, but also one of the best -known creations in world literature. Mary Shelley wrote her novel "Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus" in 1818, inspired by a stormy night at Lake Geneva when she spoke ghost stories with friends. This creature is inextricably linked to Ingolstadt, where the main character, Victor Frankenstein, studied and brought his frightening creation to life. The cityscape reflects the scientific importance that Ingolstadt had at the time of the novel.

Ingolstadt was an important place for natural sciences, although the university at which Victor Frankenstein studied, no longer existed at the time of the novel. Nevertheless, this location was deliberately chosen by Mary Shelley to underline the dark atmosphere of its history. The “old anatomy”, which is now part of the German Medical History Museum, also plays a central role in the history of creating the monster.

cultural heritage and exciting connections

The legend around Frankenstein has not only shaped literature, but also the film industry. Especially the iconic film from 1931, directed by James Whale with Boris Karloff, has firmly anchored the image of the monster in pop culture. But also the film adaptation of 1994, in which Robert de Niro plays the role of the monster, illuminates the tragic dimension of this figure.

Ingolstadt also has a fascinating story that is reflected in numerous stories. For example, Adam Weishaupt, who founded the Illuminati's Secret Association in 1776, was an important part of this city history. His members included personalities such as Goethe and Knigge, who also contributed to the cultural character.
