The mountain chapel owes its existence to a pledge that the residents of Hofheim made on June 3, 1666 because of the angry plague all around. The then pastor Johannes Gleidener moved with his parish in procession to the "Rabberg" (Räuberberg), prayed to be spared from the plague and promised to build a chapel on this spot and to make a pilgrimage there every year on the first Sunday in July.

A year later, the first chapel - a half-timbered building - was completed and inaugurated on September 29, 1667. Soon more and more pilgrims came to the pilgrimages, and in fact there was not a single plague sufferer in Hofheim and the other parishes that had participated in the vows. To this day, on the first Sunday in July, many believers from the Catholic parishes of Hofheim, Münster, Kriftel, Zeilsheim and Hattersheim go up the mountain in a solemn procession. See also:

Magnificent view over the Main level and the airport, with good visibility as far as the Bergstrasse. The master tower is also not far, there are even better views and in non-Corona times to eat and drink.
