Legend to the chapel:
During a hunt, Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa and his entourage got lost in the dense forests of the Büdinger Forest. He met a charcoal burner by a brook and asked him for directions. The charcoal burner drew the path in the freshly fallen snow with his fingers, black from the coal. Barbarossa found the way back to his Palatinate in Gelnhausen. In gratitude, the charcoal burner was knighted by him and took the two black bars as a symbol for the coat of arms of his family, the coat of arms of the princes of Ysenburg. The Hunting Chapel was later built by the Ysenburgers to commemorate them.
