Anzing / Purfing - The Lindsee Chapel between Anzing and Purfing is by no means a classic Upper Bavarian chapel with the typical onion dome. Nor does it have centuries of tradition. Nonetheless, the small, architecturally fancy church above the artificial lake that gave it its name tells a not insignificant story for the north of the district. And it takes place in the early 90s.

A garbage dump was to be built in the immediate vicinity, so this chapel was built to prevent this.

The Anzing local chronicle recalls a closed meeting of the district environmental committee in which Lake Lindsee was mentioned as a possible site for a landfill. This sparked resistance in Anzing and Vaterstetten.

The Anzing municipal council initiated a demonstration in the area in 1990. Approximately 1,000 people participated on October 20, 1990, according to the Catholic parish newsletter. An ecumenical service, in which St. Francis's Canticle of the Sun was recited, concluded the day.

In addition, both municipalities purchased land to create a biotope. An expert later confirmed that the subsoil was unsuitable for a landfill due to its high water permeability. The Lindsee landfill was thus dead. But not the idea of creating a biotope by human hands. Work began in 1994. And thanks to those at the top were not forgotten either.

At the inauguration in early October 1998, the then chairman of the Anzing parish council, Otto Belmer, the mayors Peter Dingler and Richard Hollerith, and architect Ernst Burger stated that the chapel was not only a sign of gratitude for preventing the planned landfill, but also a warning against further environmental destruction.
