    The chapel near Hohenpölz was built for private motives of a Hohenpölzer family. It dates from the 19th century and was originally located in the village of Hohenpölz. She served there as a processional altar at the Corpus Christi festival, but was relocated because of the expansion of the village transit in the course of land consolidation from 1973 here.
    Originally it housed figures of St. Peter and St. Barbara. These were unfortunately stolen around 1960. Since then, a crucifix is ​​in the chapel, which was donated by a family from Hohenpölz.
    The description was made with the help of the hiking guide to Kapellenweg Königsfeld.
