The church in Tegkwitz was first mentioned in 1228. The church has a miraculous image of the Virgin Mary. That is why many pilgrims stayed here. Therefore, in 1469, the parish received a papal letter of indulgence, which was confirmed in 1471 by Bishop Heinrich II von Stammer from Naumburg (Wikipedia).
