Kempten

Kempten (Campodunum), a city of Bavaria, Germany, situated on the liter, 64. miles distant from Augsburg by rail. The old town, called Stifts-stadt, from the abbey round which it clusters, stands on a hill, and is nearly surrounded by the newer quarter that has been built on the plain below. It has the usual institutions of a district capital, as well as a public library and a Latin school. Woollen, cotton, and linen goods are the chief industrial products.
