A horror story is the background of the chapel... Short version: a farmer's wife got septuplets - she gave six of them to her maid so that she should drown them. The farmer found out and, without the farmer's wife knowing, gave the six children up for adoption in the surrounding villages. At First Communion a few years later, the farmer invited the other children to the celebration and at the feast asked them what to do with a woman who wanted to kill her own children. The woman said that a mother like that should be burned... with that she spoke her own verdict and was executed as well. This is where the Anna Chapel was built. The wayside shrine inside shows this story... the long version is available here: suehnekreuz.de/bayern/hundshof2.htm

Despite everything, it's a good place to rest :-)
