"The Lourdes Grotto in Altenkleusheim has existed since 1913.
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. "

The Marian pilgrimage site of Lourdes is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by a large number of people every year, including many sick people who are hoping for a cure. The devotional image of Our Lady has become widespread - not only in France - Lourdes grottos have been built by believers everywhere.
The ecclesiastical commemoration day "Our Lady in Lourdes" is on February 11th, this is the anniversary of the apparition of Mary (1858), when Our Lady appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto not far from Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of only 35. On December 8th (the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary) in 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI. The day of remembrance of the Lourdes Madonna is also World Day of the Sick.
