      On the north side of the Teutoburg Forest, the partly narrow path offers delightful views of the valley.

        Holthausen is a small farming community that belongs to Brochterbeck. This place
        is not only very idyllic, but also pious in a special way, because it is here
        the forest chapel Holthausen. Kaplan Plietker laid the foundation stone of this chapel,
        who worked there from 1929 to 1934.
        He was close to the “Apostolic Movement” of Schoenstatt, which promoted the Marian
        unites honor with the claim to take responsibility as a Christian and
        to shape the world as Christian as possible. This movement should be the most dusty of the times
        give the acting church a modern face and inspire the young.
        It was important to Kaplan Plietker to support the young people, contrary to the beliefs of the
        National Socialism in the Third Reich to bind as closely as possible to the Church.
        That the chaplain was not unsuccessful with his request is shown alone
        the existence of the forest chapel, that of young people and craftsmen
        was built by the Kolping family in 1934/35. Even an oil refinery opened in 1943
        still to be built and put into operation.
        It is believed that the worship of war kept misfortune away from Holthausen
        Has. Even now, a district May prayer is held every year by the col-
        ping family Brochterbeck (Ibbenbüren district) in the forest chapel.
