List of Abbots of Weingarten

Weingarten Monastery, 1627

Abbots of the imperial abbey Weingarten in Upper Swabia and their predecessors, from its founding in the 8th century to its dissolution in 1804, as well as abbots of the repopulated Benedictine monastery from 1922 to 2010.

Until the 12th century, the year numbers are to be understood as "approx." In many cases, “From” is not a nobility designation, but an indication of origin.
