    The Rochus chapel stands at the intersection of Auf den Steinen and Hammer Dorfstrasse. Opposite her, in the so-called brother house, lived the owners, the Daniels family.

    The Daniels family built the private chapel and final resting place in 1709 without the permission of the then Hammer priest Laurentius Koll. The Rochus chapel is dedicated to Joseph, Marie and the two saints St. Sebastian and St. Rochus against contagious diseases.

    A shrine used to stand on the same spot. The word Jehovah is written in Hebrew in the turret. A service was held there every Wednesday from 1710. Coll complained. He feared the competition. It was not until 1753 that the archbishop's authorities in Cologne gave official permission to hold services in the Rochus chapel.

      Small but mighty. This type of construction is not often found in chapels.
