The two Wendelinus chapels in Budenheim in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate are located in the Lenneberg Forest, right on the city limits of Mainz-Gonsenheim. The chapels are dedicated to Saint Wendelin and were completed in 1776 and 1866.

The Wendelinusheim is located in the immediate vicinity of the two Wendelinus chapels, but already in Mainz. The house was owned by the Catholic youth organization for years and was used as a youth center. Due to fire safety deficiencies, the Wendelinusheim was shut down in 2015. Today it is privately owned.

The building was originally built around 1840 as the "Ludwigshöhe" forester's lodge elsewhere in the Lenneberg Forest. Baron Martin Wilhelm von Waldthausen had the forester's house demolished and rebuilt next to the two Wendelinus chapels. From about 1880 it was allowed to serve drinks here, and it developed into a popular place for excursions.

In the immediate vicinity of the two Wendelinus Chapels, precisely in Mainz territory, is the Wendelinus Home, which for many years was owned by the Catholic Youth Work and used as a youth recreation center. Today, it is privately owned by the Children's Forest Academy.

The building was originally built around 1840 as the "Ludwigshöhe" forester's lodge at another location in the Lenneberg Forest. From around 1880, the sale of beverages was permitted there, and it developed into a popular tourist destination. In 1913, Baron Martin Wilhelm von Waldthausen (1875–1928) acquired the forester's lodge and the surrounding forest to better shield his Waldthausen Castle from the outside world. The Baron had the forester's lodge demolished and rebuilt next to the two Wendelinus Chapels. Since 1930, the building belonged to the Catholic Youth Work of the Diocese of Mainz. Due to fire safety deficiencies, the Wendelinus Home was closed in 2015. Eventually the house was sold.
