Saint Anne is the mother of Mary, the mother of God, who is not attested in the biblical texts, i.e. the grandmother of Jesus Christ. But it is mentioned in apocryphal (that is, not included in the canon of the Bible) writings, for example in the so-called "Protoevangelium of James". There is no historically reliable knowledge about Anna's life, but there are numerous traditional stories that are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among other things, she is the patroness of Anna's Church in Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia), where a piece of her skull is kept as a relic.
In the church calendar, the day of remembrance of St. Anne - together with her husband Joachim - is on July 26th.

Behind the chapel there is a beautiful green area with commemorative plaques. A look inside the chapel is also worthwhile!

The St. Anna Chapel was built in the 13th century and was officially called until 1799
St. Nottburgis Chapel.
In the choir there are remains of a Mithras consecration from the 2nd/3rd century. Century AD
Inside there are still remains of frescoes from the 16th century.
The chapel was restored in 1967 and an old well can be viewed in the courtyard.

Located at the cemetery not far from the underpass, you should take a look at the interior
