This Bad Honnef chapel is dedicated to Saint Servatius. Exact biographical details about him are not known. He is said to have been born in Armenia at the beginning of the 4th century and died in Maastricht, the Netherlands, around 384. He probably became Bishop of Tongeren in 340. Servatius is known in popular piety as one of the three so-called "Ice Saints", together with Pancras and Boniface (in some areas also supplemented by "Cold Sophie" one day later). Saint Servatius's memorial day in the calendar of saints is May 13th.
