History

• One root of the university lies in Dillingen an der Donau, where Cardinal Otto Truchsess von Waldburg, prince-bishop of Augsburg, founded a university in 1551 to train clergy for the struggle against the Reformation.该校的历史源头之一位于多瑙河畔迪林根，奥格斯堡采邑主教奥托·特鲁赫泽斯·冯·瓦尔德堡枢机于 1551 年在那里创办大学，为对抗宗教改革培养神职人员。
• That Dillingen university was closed in 1803 during the secularisation, replaced in 1804 by a lyceum with academic rank, renamed a philosophical-theological college in 1923, and dissolved in April 1971 in favour of Augsburg's new Catholic theology faculty.这所迪林根大学在 1803 年世俗化运动中被关闭，1804 年由一所具有学术地位的学园接替，1923 年更名为哲学神学院，最终于 1971 年 4 月并入奥格斯堡新设的天主教神学院。
• A second predecessor is the Royal School Teachers' Seminary founded in Dillingen in 1824, moved to Lauingen in 1841, renamed a teacher training institute in 1903, and transferred to Augsburg in 1956.第二个前身是 1824 年在迪林根创办的皇家小学教师讲习所，1841 年迁往劳因根，1903 年更名为教师培训学院，1956 年迁至奥格斯堡。
