    The chapel "Im Bruch" was built in 1907 in the garden of Joseph Schwenck and his wife Barbara Ohmer as a simple Lourdes grotto in a wooden hut.

    Out of gratitude for his return from Russian captivity, his son Josef Schwenck rebuilt it in 1953 together with his wife Frieda Höfer.

    It was last renovated in 1996; today, residents visit the chapel in the summer to pray the rosary in the evening.

    Equipment:
    Replica of the Lourdes grotto; Immaculata with rosary, in front of it the girl Bernadette

    The chapel "Im Bruch" also belongs to the so-called Herxheimer chapel ring, which closes the village. This chapel was built in 1907 in a private garden as a simple Lourdes grotto in a wooden hut. In gratitude for his return from Russian captivity, the chapel was rebuilt by his son and wife and renovated in 1996.
