The wooden predecessor served as a meeting place for the Beghards, who lived as hermits scattered throughout the forest. They were members of a religious community that was founded in the Netherlands around 1220 and it was the only settlement in the diocese of Regensburg. The Beghards dedicated the first wooden chapel to the penitent Mary Magdalene. It became a popular place of pilgrimage because a never-ending spring rises nearby. In the chapel people prayed for rain during droughts.
