According to a legend, the Scheffer family from Großeibstadt built this shrine. When the Swedes in Merkershausen and Großeibstadt burned and murdered, the inhabitants fled to the Hassberge. Where the Annabild is today, the Scheffer families pledged to erect a statue to their mother, Anna, if their belongings were spared at home. After hearing your plea, they erected this shrine.

Saint Anne, to whom this wayside shrine was dedicated, is the mother of Mary, the mother of God, who is not attested in the biblical texts, i.e. the grandmother of Jesus Christ. However, it is mentioned in apocryphal (that is, not included in the canon of the Bible) writings, for example in the so-called "Protoevangelium of James". There is no historically reliable knowledge about Anna's life, but there are numerous traditional stories that are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine.
Among other things, she is the patroness of Anna's Church in Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia), where a piece of her skull is kept as a relic. In the church calendar, the day of remembrance of St. Anne - together with her husband Joachim - is on July 26th.
