St. Maria in Lichtenklingen in the Hessian Odenwald is about three kilometers south of Siedelsbrunn and almost two kilometers east of Unter-Abtsteinach in a valley between Hardberg (593.1 m above sea level) and boot height (584 m above sea level) at the edge of the forest located ruin of a Marienkultstätte. The allegedly preceding Germanic or Celtic source sanctuary goes back to romantically or politically motivated ideas of the 19th and early 20th centuries

Chapel for Catholic pilgrims. In addition to Christian devotional items, there are also offerings from the neo-pagan and esoteric environment. However, there is no evidence that the place really had a pre-Christian tradition of worship.
