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.

The Fatima Chapel of the private association for the construction and maintenance of a statue of Mary was inaugurated in 2005. The figure of Mary in the chapel was made in Brazil and was donated by Rome.

This "Fatima Chapel" is dedicated to the Mother of God. It was named after the town of Fatima in Portugal, where Mary appeared several times to some shepherd children in 1917 (i.e. during the First World War). Our Lady revealed three mysteries to the children.
Pope John Paul II has attributed his survival of the assassination attempt on him that took place on May 13 – the commemoration of the first apparition of Mary in Fatima – to Our Lady there. The bullet that nearly killed him was later incorporated into the crown of the statue of Mary at Fatima.
