Abbazia Disumgarten – Wikipedia Wikipedia

L’ Weingarten abbey O Abbey of San Martino (in German: Abbey Weingarten ) is a Benedictine monastery on the Martinsberg (Monte di San Martino) in Weingarten, at Ravensburg, in Baden-Württemberg (Germany).

In 1056, Guelph I of Bavaria, he founded a Benedictine monastery on Martinsberg, above the village of Altdorf, inherited from his mother. The name Weingarten (vineyard) is documented by 1123. (in 1865, the village definitively took its name from the abbey becoming the current town of Weingarten.) Here the monks from the abbey of Altomünster were settled. In 1126, Enrico IX of Bavaria, he retired here after his abdication; He died the same year and was buried in the Church of the Abbey.

The monks lavished, among other things, in the miniature of manuscripts. Their most famous work is the Missal of Bertoldo of 1217, now in the Pierpont Morgan library in New York. Another special note is reserved for Welfenschronics , written and illustrated around 1190, which describes and celebrates the House of the Guelphs who was based in nearby Ravensburg.

The monastery was raised to the status of Reichsabtei (independent ecclesiastical state) in 1274.

It obtained a territory of 306 km², which extended from the Algovia to Lake Costanza and included numerous forests and vineyards, and was therefore one of the richest monasteries in South Germany.

Since 1715, the Romanesque church of the Abbey, built between 1124 and 1182, was largely demolished and replaced between 1715 and 1724 by a wider church and richly decorated in Baroque style, which in 1956 was appointed minor Basilica papal.

In 1803, during secularization, the abbey was dissolved. At first, it became part of the possessions of the Orange-Nassau house, and therefore in 1806 part of the Kingdom of Würtetmberg. The construction of the monastery were used as factories and barracks for soldiers.

In 1922, Weingarten was re -founded and the Benedictines of the Archbatia of Beuron and the English abbey of Erdington (on the outskirts of Birmingham) reinforced it). In 1940, the monks were expelled from Germany by the Nazi movement, but they could return to the end of the war. Under the abbot Luca Weichenrier the abbey declined, and after a last period of various administrators it was dissolved again in 2010.

The monks were responsible for the Blown , or procession at the turn of the Holy Blood preserved in the Church of the Abbey. Since 2010, the parish continues this responsibility.

The monastery was part of the Beuron Congregation of the Benedictine Confederation and was characterized by two ecclesiastical traditions, or “rites”. A part of the monks followed the Roman rite, another part the Byzantine rite.

The Abbey and the Church are the major tourist attractions of the street known as the Oberschwäbische Barockstraße which includes a series of historical monuments of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Inside the church there is the famous organ Gabler, built between 1735 and 1750 by Joseph Gabler. The organ is made up of 63 registers (items) ^[first] and over 6,600 rods ^[2] . It is considered the 44th largest organ in the world ^[first] .
