Bis zum Jahr 2002 stand in der Ortsmitte von Obertresenfeld eine kleine Marienkapelle. Wegen des schlechten Bauzustandes bemühten sich die Dorfbewohner seit 1992 die kleine Kapelle abzubrechen, um eine etwas größere zu bauen. Nach langwierigen Verhandlungen, bei denen auch die überaus schlechte Bausubstanz nachgewiesen werden konnte, ließen sich die Denkmalschützer davon überzeugen, dass die alte Kapelle nicht mehr erhaltenswürdig sei.

Im April 2001 konnte die erste Skizze gezeichnet werden und am 20.11.2001 wurde der Bauplan vom Landratsamt genehmigt. Am 18. Dezember 2001 wurde ein Kapellenbauverein gegründet. Zweck des Vereins war die Errichtung einer Dorfkapelle und deren Ausstattung.

Saints Anne and Joachim are considered the parents of the Virgin Mary, whose birth this chapel commemorates. Thus, they are the grandparents of Jesus, though they are not mentioned by name in the biblical writings of the New Testament.

A historically precise date for the various stages of the Virgin Mary's life is not known. However, the Feast of the Nativity of the Mother of God—one of Mary's many titles of honor—is celebrated on September 8th in many Christian denominations (Catholic, Anglican, Orthodox, and Armenian).
