    Legend has it that in the middle of the 14th century, around 1350, the inhabitants of Dauendorf, threatened by the plague, promised the Blessed Virgin to build a Cross if she protected them against this terrible plague. She granted their wish and the Cross was erected on a hill. In fact, only a few people are known to have survived the epidemic. In order not to perish in their turn, they burned Dauendorf and settled in a wood near the village: if we consult a map at 1/25000 we see a sector of the ban of Dauendorf called Huttenwald, which means "the forest with huts".
    Much later, in 1876, the chapel was built, commissioned by Abbot Martz. Even today people go there on pilgrimage to the Virgin and venerate the Holy Cross.
