    The St. Nicholas Chapel was first mentioned in 1563. The dilapidated remains were demolished in 1815 and only rebuilt in 2017/2018 with active support.

      Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, to whom this chapel is dedicated, is one of the most popular saints of all, along with Saint Martin. Almost every child in Germany - and far beyond - should know his commemoration day, December 6th.
      On the eve of this day, the children used to put their shoes or boots in front of the door - which of course had to be cleaned with great care - so that they could be filled with gifts by St. Nicholas during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for the children to put out a small amount of food for the donkey, St. Nicholas' riding animal (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).
