The Catholic pilgrimage church Mariahilf is located on the Mariahilfberg above the city of Neumarkt, a crossroad with 367 steps leads up to the church. The pilgrimage church was inaugurated on February 11, 1725. The pastoral care of the pilgrims was entrusted to the Capuchins. After the Capuchins had to leave Neumarkt in 1802 as part of the secularization in Bavaria, the pilgrimage was orphaned. In 1907 the Carmelites settled next to the church. Today the Redemptorists oversee the pilgrimage. kloster-mariahilfberg.de/nathus-14711/entstehung.html
