Der Grundstein der Barockkirche wurde am 22. August 1715 gelegt. Sie ersetzte die romanische Kirche der Benediktinerabtei. Der Neubau wurde während der Amtszeit von Abt Sebastian Hyller am 10. September 1724 durch den Bischof von Konstanz Johann Franz Schenk von Stauffenberg geweiht, Titelheilige sind Martin von Tours und Oswald. Die Kirche ist mit einer Kuppelhöhe von 67 Metern und einer Länge von 102 Metern das größte barocke Kirchenbauwerk in Deutschland und nördlich der Alpen. Abt Hyller, nach dem auch eine Straße in Weingarten benannt ist, wählte bewusst für den Neubau der Kirche nahezu die hälftigen Ausmaße des Petersdoms in Rom. Die reichhaltigen Stukkaturen fertigte ab 1718 der Wessobrunner Franz Schmuzer d. Ä. (1676–1741), der auch die sechs Seitenaltäre schuf. Das Chorgestühl schnitzte 1720 bis 1724 der Bildhauer und Stuckateur Joseph Anton Feuchtmayer. Seit der Auflösung der Benediktinerreichsabtei 1803 dient die Kirche als Pfarrkirche der katholischen Pfarrei St. Martin. Von 1922 bis 2010 war sie zugleich Klosterkirche der wiederbesiedelten Benediktinerabtei Weingarten. Aus Anlass der 900-Jahrfeier der Gründung der Benediktinerabtei durch die Welfen wurde die Kirche 1956 von Papst Pius XII. zur Basilica minor erhoben. Die in der Kirche aufbewahrte Heilig-Blut-Reliquie ist Gegenstand religiöser Verehrung in ganz Oberschwaben. Sie steht im Mittelpunkt einer der größten Reiterprozessionen Europas, des jährlich stattfindenden Blutrittes. Source: Wikipedia. In 1056, Welf I, Duke of Bavaria, founded a Benedictine monastery on the Martinsberg, overlooking the village of Altdorf, an inheritance from his mother. The name Weingarten (vineyard) is documented from about 1123. (In 1865, the village took the name of the monastery to become the present town of Weingarten). He settled it with monks from Altomünster Abbey. In 1126, Henry IX, Duke of Bavaria, withdrew here after his abdication; he died the same year and was buried in the abbey church. The monks worked, among other things, at manuscript illumination. Their most famous work is the Berthold Sacramentary of 1217, now in the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York City. Also of especial note is the Welfenchronik, written and illustrated in about 1190, chronicling and glorifying the House of Welf which had its seat at Ravensburg nearby. The monastery was elevated to the status of a Reichsabtei, independent of all territorial lordship except that of the emperor, in 1274. It acquired territory of 306 km2 (118 sq mi), stretching from the Allgäu to the Bodensee and including many forests and vineyards, and was one of the richest monasteries in southern Germany. From 1715, the Romanesque abbey church, constructed between 1124 and 1182, was largely demolished, and replaced between 1715 and 1724 by a large and richly decorated Baroque church, which since 1956 has been a papal basilica minor. This church was intended to stand within a monastic site built to the ideal layout, but this undertaking was only partially completed as the north wing would have blocked the via regia or imperial road. Following the order on April 27, 1728 to stop construction on the north wing, the southern wing was extended and the east wing was completed. In 1803, during the German Mediatisation, the abbey was dissolved. At first, it became part of the Principality of Nassau-Orange-Fulda, and then in 1806 part of the Kingdom of Württemberg. The buildings were used inter alia as a factory and as a barracks. In 1922, Weingarten was re-founded and re-settled by Benedictines from Beuron Archabbey and from the English Abbey of Erdington (in a suburb of Birmingham) which had itself been settled from Beuron. In 1940, the monks were expelled by the National Socialists, but were able to return after the end of the war. The monks are responsible for the management of the "Blutritt", or pilgrimage to the Reliquary of the Holy Blood in the abbey church; they also run a guesthouse. In 2009 only four monks remained in Weingarten. The abbey was vacated on October 16, 2010; the Catholic Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart stepped in as a new tenant and tried to find a new monastic community to install here. In 2014, the Diocese offered the rooms to the State of Baden-Württemberg as a refugees home. Due to dilapidated sanitary installations and issues of monument protection this was declined at first; instead parts of the rooms used by the Academy of the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart (see below) were rededicated as refugees home. In 2015, the number of refugees rose steeply. In July and August 2015 a part of the former abbey rooms was cut off and prepared to serve as additional Bedarfsorientierte Erstaufnahmeeinrichtung (BEA) (auxiliary first admittance/initial reception facility for refugees). At end of October 2015 about 130 refugees were accommodated there and about 40 at the refugee home in the rooms of the Academy. Source: Wikipedia.
