Life in the Black Forest was previously difficult, so the residents sought their assistance in higher places. So also at the spoon chapel, which was built around 1860. She is dedicated to the Mother of Sorrows. When toothache or ear pain, people came here earlier and hoped for relief. With spoons that once hung in the chapel and gave her the name, the sick were provided with various home remedies.

In the middle of the dense forest stands the little spoon chapel. The chapel was built around 1860. At that time people with toothache or earache made their pilgrimage from the surrounding places and asked for divine assistance. Hence the name: Spoon was once used to drip warm oil into your ears when earache.

As can be seen in the pictures, the chapel is now free due to the devastating storm damage, but thank god it is still standing.
