Above the Aischgrund near Sterpersdorf, a few kilometers southwest of Höchstadt, rises the Lauberberg. On the hill are the small Antonius chapel and an inn with farm buildings. The square property is surrounded by a stone wall. The small church, in former times a larger pilgrimage church, is dedicated to Saint Anthony. The mystery of the Lauberberg are two grave sites, which are located directly next to the church. A tomb with stone slab and iron fence is said to be the resting place of the legendary seer Sybille Weis. She is said to have lived in a castle at Ailsbach in the 13th century, and she was said to have great powers of vision. She is said to have predicted that once "wenches" would run around in long trousers, iron monsters would roar through the countryside, and wagons would move forward completely without draft animals.

The Lauberberg became famous through the legends of a noble lady from the 13th century who is said to have possessed visionary and healing powers. When Sybille Weis - that's her name - was once staying on the Lauberberg to pray, she was harassed by the devil, but saved by invoking Saint Anthony. In gratitude, she donated a chapel dedicated to the saint.
This was replaced in 1764 by a large pilgrimage church, which was of course sold at the beginning of the next century in the course of secularization and later demolished. All that remained was the confessional chapel, which forms the core of today's Antonius chapel.
Sybille Weis was (allegedly) buried close to the wall of the chapel. Shortly before her death she is said to have prophesied that the last day would be near as soon as her grave had moved away from the wall. (It has!)
If you would like to visit the chapel and the restaurant on the Lauberberg, you should find out about the opening times at
