    Lourdes Grottoes in Germany

    The first Lourdes grottoes were built in Germany at the end of the 19th century. Catholic associations and private individuals began to portray the famous Marian apparitions from Lourdes in life-size. In many places, semi-open grottos were built based on the Massabielle grotto. The natural stones used as building material, for example perforated stones or tuff stones, created a cave-like space that was mystical in the taste of the 19th century.

    The center of this room is a figure of Mary that corresponds to the description of Bernadette Soubirous: a woman in a white dress with a blue belt that extends to the floor, with folded hands.

    The Mariengrotten have lost none of their attraction. People go there, light a candle, say a "Hail Mary" or some other prayer. They ask for healing in their illnesses and help in need.

      With lots of balls to sit down and just pause for a moment
