The Marienberg, which has been a listed building since 2001, was built in 1913 - next to the Kreuzberg - as another place of prayer and devotion for pilgrims on the "Hellers Berg" and was completed by 1936.

. . . A processional path, which initially climbs steeply, winds its way across the entire mountain, past the 15 stations of the joyful, painful and glorious rosary prayer, the secrets of which are depicted on numerous stele-like stone reliefs or in fully sculptural groups of figures.

. . . On the way, the pilgrims also reach the "House of Nazareth" and, at the highest point of the mountain, a large assembly area with a chapel dedicated to Mary built in 1922, for which the Wiedenbruck sculptor Heinrich Püts created a large wooden altar sculpture of the enthroned Madonna with the baby Jesus in 1934.

"There is one last climb left, the sixth "summit" of the day, then it goes down to Neviges, deliberately swinging over the Marienberg, a place with a very dense atmosphere.
And with a large chestnut tree for the last loot of the day."

"A visit to the Marienberg in Neviges is worthwhile: It is a landscape park and place of worship and offers rustic paths and romantic corners.

The Marienberg was created between 1913 and 1936 under the direction of the Franciscan master gardener Natalis Knocke.

The mountain is climbed on a processional path that leads past 15 stations - stone reliefs and groups of figures.

The Nazareth House is attractively located and designed; a look through the windows is worthwhile.

The Marienkapelle has stood at the highest point in the park since 1922."
