Birgelener Pützchen Chapel

Beautiful little chapel in the middle of the forest. The Marine Chapel is open to visitors during the day.

There is an information board on the Pützchen that reads:
The Pützchen is an ancient place of prayer and Marian pilgrimage. According to tradition, Saint Lambertus baptized at a spring that still exists today in the seventh century. The spring is considered the "Willibrodus spring" and because of the healing water, the Pützchen became a popular place of pilgrimage.
The age and origin of a miraculous image of the sorrowful mother are unknown. A first pilgrimage is documented in 1718, a first stone bed house was built in 1795. Around 1850 the fountain (Pütz) was bordered and a chapel was built over it, which was extended in 1933.

The Birgelener Pützchen is a Marian pilgrimage chapel in the forest between the Wassenberger Oberstadt and Birgelen in the Heinsberg district.
