The idea of a grotto on the Druslachbach next to the hollow path on the Oberwaldbrückel with a figure of the Virgin Mary similar to traditional May altars came from August Jochem II and Jakob Simon in the early 1930s.
This path to this grotto was a Sunday stroll for many Lingenfeld residents until the 1960s or was used for the obligatory May flower hike. During the war and post-war years, interest in the grotto waned and it fell into disrepair.
In the early 1960s, the pensioner Albert Jochem and his helpers ensured that a small, stone-lined crypt with a figure of the Virgin Mary was built on the site of the former pre-war grotto. This invited many hikers to linger as always. Unfortunately, over time the grotto fell into disrepair again and the grotto of the Virgin Mary also disappeared.
In 2005, Heinz and Gerdi Benz and Fred Czerny revived the old tradition of the grotto of the Virgin Mary. They renovated the square with the grotto to its current appearance.
