The exact date of construction of the chapel is uncertain. It mentions a first, non-documented tradition as early as the 15th century, where it is said to have been built by pilgrims from the Cologne Franciscans. It is also possible for the owners of the Morsbroich house to erect them for the first time in 1515 as part of a foundation for weekly fairs.

Belief in past centuries claimed that young childless women who drank from the "Kunibertspütz" spring had healing and fertilizing effects.
Folklore tells of the "Jesselinespötz" spring, which claims that newborn children could be fished out by wet nurses.
Today, the water can only be pumped with the help of technology. The Gezellinbrunnen still holds a magical attraction for young and old. During opening hours, the water can be filled into canisters and taken home. Spring water is said to have healing powers.
