The Franciscan Church is an early Gothic, three-nave, flat-roofed basilica. Today it is again the monastery church of the Franciscan monastery in Ingolstadt, which has been a Capuchin monastery since 2006. It is 71.70 meters long, 20.65 meters wide and 28.60 meters high. Like many other Franciscan churches, it has no steeple but only a small ridge turret.

The patronage "Mary (or in other spelling:) Ascension Day" of the Ingolstadt Franciscan Church refers to one of the many commemoration days or festivals in honor of the Blessed Mother Mary. It goes back to the feast of her bodily assumption into heaven, which the Church celebrates annually on August 15.

In many rural areas it is customary for the population to collect bunches of herbs (called "Kruggweusch" in the Rhenish dialect) on this day and to bless them in the festival service.

One of the few saints who is also highly valued outside of Christianity is San Francesco, known in the German-speaking world as Francis of Assisi. Francis was born in Assisi in 1181/82 and died in 1226. In his youth as the son of wealthy parents he was a bon vivant, but later he turned to Christ. In the dilapidated little church of San Damiano, on the hillside outside the city walls of Assisi, he was praying one day and heard the voice of Christ coming down from the cross, urging him to "rebuild his church". At first he took this request literally and restored the church building, later he came to realize that this is primarily about the church as the community of believers.

Many people joined him, and the Order of the Friars Minor of Francis of Assisi was born. Today in the broad Franciscan religious family there are three male branches: the Franciscans, the Minorites and the Capuchins; and two females: the Franciscans and the Poor Clares.

His burial church in Assisi, the Basilica of San Francesco, which did not even exist during Francis' lifetime, is nevertheless one of the great "original shrines" of the Franciscan religious family. It can be found here as a hiking highlight under this link: komoot.de/highlight/138624
