The Maria depicted here in Floisdorf is that of Lourdes (France). The feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes is February 11th, the anniversary of the apparition (1858) when Our Lady appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto near Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of only 35. On December 8 (the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary) 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI.
The commemoration of the Lourdes Madonna is also World Day of the Sick.

Very nice Mariengrotte in the middle of the place. The grotto and the figure of Mary are in very good condition. It is clear that the place attaches great importance to their appearance. You are an integral part of the population.

The construction of this beautiful Marian grotto was probably initiated by the Rosary Brotherhood, to which a brotherhood altar in the parish church is dedicated. To this day, the grotto is the destination of the annual procession for the Rosary Festival on October 7th and the last stop of the Corpus Christi procession. The pretty floral decorations and the good maintenance show that the Mariengrotte has a firm place in the heart of the Floisdorf residents.
