Tips

Franz Josef Klingen

It is believed that shortly after the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) a chapel was built on this site by the residents of Büdesheim. There are no written documents from this time. On old maps (Tranchot-Müffling map from 1809, Prussian map from 1827,...) there is evidence of a chapel at this location, but it was probably later dilapidated and torn down.

In 1993, today's pilgrim chapel was completed and consecrated to the Mother of God by Pastor Paul Koniechzny on June 10, 1993 (Corpus Christi) with great sympathy from the population of Büdesheim.

The name pilgrim chapel probably comes from the fact that many St. Matthias Brotherhoods (SMB) from the Lower Rhine pass here on their way to and from Trier on an ancient pilgrimage route towards Weißenseifen and Kyllburg and hold a devotion or reflection at this very pilgrim chapel. Büdesheim was and is also an important stop for these brotherhoods in terms of food and overnight accommodation on the pilgrimage.

The pilgrim chapel invites you to come and relax, perhaps say a short prayer and continue your journey highly motivated.
