Weyarn Monastery was founded in 1133 as a monastery by the Augustinian canons under Archbishop Konrad I (1106-1147) of Salzburg. The donor was Count Siboto II (around 1060 - 1136) from the Neuburg-Falkenstein family, which owned estates on the Mangfall, in the Inn Valley, in the Chiemgau and in South Tyrol. The deed of foundation names 24 canons who were given the castle "wiare" next to a number of farms, mills and vineyards. In 1236 the priory of Weyarn went up in flames, along with the church treasury and documents. After that the pen expired. Only after a good 100 years, in 1343, was the new collegiate church completed. Since the repairs, out of frugality, had included the fire-damaged foundation walls made of tufa, the masonry collapsed again in 1350. A relative heyday then began, among other things with the granting of Hofmark rights and the assignment of eight subsidiary churches, which ended in 1803 with secularization. In the course of the 19th century, part of the monastery buildings, including the prelate's floor, were haphazardly demolished, making Weyarn Monastery one of the most poorly preserved complexes in Bavaria in recent times. The remainder went into private ownership. The rooms of the two surviving convent buildings, which were privately rented until 1998, were acquired by the Teutonic Order along with some other buildings of the former monastery. The order then moved its headquarters from Frankfurt a. M. to Weyarn. Since September 1999, the Teutonic Order has also taken over the parish, so that it can be said with some justification that the secularization of the Weyarn monastery in 1803 has been reversed again after almost two centuries.
