A wooden chapel was built on Peterberg in the 13th century. Since 1578, a "free market" has been held on the Peterberg every year on the Monday after the Assumption Day, which was initially moved to Sötern in the 17th century and was completely abandoned in 1838 because of "drunkenness, fights and gambling". When the market was abandoned, the chapel fell into disrepair. It was rebuilt in 1983.
