Passau was once the capital of a prince-bishopric covering 24 square miles with 60,000 people. The Jesuits were brought to Passau in 1611 by Prince Bishop Leopold V, Archduke of Further Austria. They established a college, designed by the priest Johannes Isfording from Molsheim, Alsace, which provided secondary education and also served as the seminary for the diocese until 1766.
