The "German Chapel" stands at an altitude of 2159 m on the Dobratsch in the municipality of Bad Bleiberg and is dedicated to "𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧". It is a branch church of the Roman Catholic parish of Bad Bleiberg. The name "German Chapel" is used to distinguish it from the Windische Chapel, the second mountain church on the Dobratsch.

Two churches rise up on the summit of Villach's local mountain, the Dobratsch (2,167m), an elongated massif, which is also called "Villacher Alpe".
The "German" and the "Windian Chapel".Incidentally, the two Marian chapels make the Dobratsch the highest Marian pilgrimage site in Europe!translated by•June 1, 2023
