Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DILLINGEN , a town of
Germany
 , in the kingdom of Bavaria, on the left bank of the
Danube
 , 25 M. N.E. from Ulm, on the railway to
Ingolstadt
 . Pop. (1905) 6078. Its
principal
  buildings are an old palace, formerly the residence of the bishops of Augsburg and now government offices, a royal gymnasium, a Latin school with a library of 75,000 volumes, seven churches (six Roman Catholic), two episcopal seminaries, a Capuchin monastery, a Franciscan convent and a deaf and dumb asylum. The university, founded in 1549, was abolished in 1804, being converted into a lyceum. The inhabitants are engaged in cattle-rearing, the cultivation of corn, hops and fruit, shipbuilding and the shipping
trade
 , and the manufacture of
cloth
 ,
paper
  and
cutlery
 . In the vicinity is the Karolinen canal, which cuts off a bend in the
Danube
  between Lauingen and Dillingen. In 1488 Dillingen became the residence of the bishops of Augsburg; was taken by the Swedes in 1632 and 1648, by the Austrians in 1702, and on the 17th of June 1800 by the
French
 . In 1803 it passed to Bavaria.
