Weingarten, Historic university town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Weingarten stands between the German Alps and Lake Constance, featuring Germany's largest Baroque basilica amid a mix of 16th-century architecture.

Originally named Altdorf until 1865, archaeological findings near the old town reveal an Alemannic burial site dating back to the 5th century.

The annual Blutritt procession following Ascension Friday gathers 3,000 riders and multiple music bands in a traditional regional celebration.

Two universities, including the University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg-Weingarten, offer programs in engineering, technology, social work, and teacher training.

The town maintains 250 clubs and organizations while hosting 1,700 companies that employ over 10,350 people across traditional and technology sectors.
