City Information

City Weingarten

Visit Weingarten

Standing high above the rooftops of Weingarten is Germany‘s largest baroque basilica, known affectionately as Swabia’s answer to St. Peter’s, Rome. Inside is the world-famous 18th-century Gabler organ (Gabler organ 360-degree round view) as well as the relic of the Precious Blood. The citizens of Weingarten have kept alive the veneration of the relic, regarded as an extraordinary testament of faith, since the baroque period. But Weingarten offers its guests so much more. Entertainment includes comedy, drama, opera and ballet; there’s fine shopping in the lanes in the town centre, as well as leisurely walks through the surrounding meadows and woods.
