The Ottilienkapelle is located near the Kocher Bridge on Kapellenweg (entrance to the “Wirtshaus Scheerer-Mühle” car park).
As early as 1650 there was a Mount of Olives chapel there, which was also dedicated to St. Ottilia, the patron saint of eye problems. In the choir of the chapel there is a Pietà, on the right on the wall is St. Ottilia and opposite her is St. Joseph with the baby Jesus.

The chapel is described in a description from the Aalen Oberamt from 1854 as an “old chapel with votive tablets at the eastern end of the village”.
You can see it in a picture from 1847 in the local history book on page 80.
In 1959 the Ottilienkapelle was renovated.
