    The Niederdonker chapel "Maria in der Not" not only lists the list of Meerbusch monuments, but is one of the architectural monuments that can tell much about the development in the Meerbusch settlement area. The history of the chapel goes back to the middle of the 16th century. In 1802 she was assigned to the parish of St. Mauritius. It is still the destination of local pilgrimages and the center of religious customs in Meerbusch.

      Lies quite picturesque in this industrial area and dominated by satellite towns area. Is however already in the catchment area of the Duesseldorfer airport.

        The Niederdonker chapel is a beautiful, idyllic place. There are various stories about their creation. Popularly, it was once a hermitage. Another source dates it from 1542, when the owner of the nearby Dyckhof is said to have built it. From the 17th century, it was mentioned in a document as a chapel for the "Painful Mother", "Maria in Need" or "Pieper's Chapel" - the origin of this last name is still a mystery to this day. The goal of many pilgrims is a Pietá from the 19th century, a representation of Mary with her dead son. It replaces an older figure, the origin and whereabouts of which are unknown. sion in September, the Ganden picture is worn on the Way of the Cross around the Dyckhof.
        In addition to the pieta and the motif windows of the chapel, the tryptichon "Lactatio des Heiligen Bernhard" from 1538 can be admired.
        Although the Niederdonker chapel invites you to rest, to stop for a while and to pray in silence, the small church looks very lively. The colorful motif windows by Professor Wilhelm Geyer, who also decorated the Aachen Cathedral with magnificent windows, make the room appear bright and inviting and envelop the visitor in a friendly light.
