    In 1991 a chapel of particular importance was built in a beautiful spot on the edge of the Auerberg forest on the so-called Paradise Fields. This beautiful little church was built on the initiative of Msgr. Pastor Adolf Schrenk, geb. 1931 in Oberlindewiese.

      A really very beautiful, contemplative and cozy little chapel that is carefully maintained. Invites you to linger for a moment.

        The chancel is decorated with a Maria Hilf picture, a copy of the well-known picture from Passau that was created by Peter Bauer from Forchheim. On the left is a figure of Saint Hedwig and on the right is a Pieta, created by the Bamberg sculptor Thomas Leitherer. The Way of the Cross was designed by Christel Nunn from Nuremberg and the cross that is placed in the middle above the chancel was carved by Manfred Kraus from Heroldsbach.
