    The wooden chapel was built by the then property owner, Reinhold Schubert, in 1974, as a memorial plaque indicates, "with donations from good friends." It is decorated with, among other things, candles, crucifixes, and a statue of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child. It is assumed that this chapel is connected to the nearby memorial stone for members of the "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler."
