The then parish vicar of the village Theodor Goebels was healed of a stomach ailment in Lourdes and, out of gratitude, had a Marian grotto built in Altenkleusheim based on the southern French model. Lava slag from the vicinity of Mayen in the Eifel was used as a building material. Original stones from the Lourdes grotto have been placed on both inner sides of the cave arch.
Around 6,000 pilgrims from near and far came to the inauguration in 1913. "
