The chapel was built around a wooden statue of Mary, which was brought along by an expiatory pilgrimage from Maria Einsiedel in Switzerland, to give a worthy setting and to celebrate the Messopfer there as well. In 1867 the foundation stone was laid and in 1869 the chapel was inaugurated. On this occasion, the statue of Mary was gilded. The dark color of the face was left.

When the "Anna Chapel" became too small to accommodate the large number of pilgrims and prayers, Georg Eismann developed the plan to build a larger chapel in which the sacrifice of the Mass could also be celebrated: today's "Marienkapelle", the cornerstone of which was laid in 1867 took place.

Here it is either still or again, the little Nick Negro. As a reminder of colonial times, when people with dark skin per se consider themselves in need of help, it should not go uncommented.
