At the edge of the Steinberg, near the forest restaurant Steinhaus, stands the Fatima chapel. It has an elliptical shape and belongs to the parish Thiersheim. The Fatima Madonna was made in Brazil and is believed to be ceramic or porcelain. It indicates that the first kaolin was found nearby, marking the beginning of the porcelain industry in the area.
