In the summer of 1946, the soldiers from Westenfeld, who had returned from the war, built their fallen and missing comrades a chapel of thanksgiving on the Rickeknochen. Domestic limestone was the building material because "like the stone, the dead are fed by the same home earth". Vicar Schulte was the planner and site manager.
His friend Dr. Damriss from Menden.

In 1973 this chapel had to give way to a quarry extension. It was removed and rebuilt in the Schlink. On October 7, 1973 she was there as part of the Thanksgiving Day in the anniversary year of the parish of Auxiliary Bishop Dr. Johannes Joachim Degenhardt inaugurated and returned to its destination.
