Tips

Hans-Jürgen

May 31, 2020

The fourteen-year-old farmer boy Josef Bösel (born 1887) always had the same dream of Our Lady in a dog rose bush, which stood in a meadow on the northern outskirts of the hamlet of Illemad. Although the boy was laughed at by his friends, he revealed himself to his father. He spoke to the priest Anton Bobinger from Lauterbach, who suggested that a chapel be built at the site. The Illemader realized their wish of their priest in a short time: The St. Marien chapel, built in-house, was inaugurated in 1904.

The chapel bell was donated by Anton Mödl, miller of the loot mill. It originally served at the landing stage of the ferry boat in Marxheim and warned of the flooding of the Danube. After the Marxheimer Danube bridge was built, the bell was discarded and bought by Anton Mödl for the newly built Illemader chapel. The first person, by the way, whom she rang as a death knell was the founder.

Ceiling paintings (Holy Family), altar and crucifix inside the chapel date from the time of construction. The small shrines from the late 19th century attached to the left and right of the front door are attractive. They contain wax figures (Our Lady, Good Shepherd). The church got its baroque onion bonnet in the 1970s.
