Small chapel on the path of the Dream Loop Domblick. There are farm buildings adjoining the cable and you can see various construction phases and changes in use all around.

Saint Anne is the mother of the Mother of God Mary, and thus the grandmother of Jesus Christ - not attested in the biblical texts. However, she is mentioned in apocryphal writings (i.e. not included in the canon of the Bible), for example in the so-called "Protoevangelium of James". There is no historically confirmed knowledge about the life of Anne, but there are numerous traditional stories, which are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among other things, she is the patron saint of the Anne Church in Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia), where a piece of her skullcap is kept as a relic.
In the church calendar, Saint Anne is commemorated - together with her husband Joachim - on July 26th.

The veneration of St. Anne, the mother of Mary, began quite late in Europe. Initially only widespread in the Eastern Church, her cult only reached the West during the Crusades. Anne does not appear in the biblical accounts. She is first mentioned in the apocryphal Protoevangelium of James from the 2nd century. Her story, as told here, is shaped by her long-held desire to have children, which was only fulfilled very late for her and her husband Joachim, but then in a miraculous way. This made her not only an advocate for all who had such a wish, but also the patron saint of pregnant women and mothers. The small chapel in Belgweiler, built in the first half of the 18th century, is also dedicated to St. Anne. According to local tradition, it goes back to a foundation. It has belonged to the parish of Ravengiersburg since ancient times. The hermits who lived in the neighboring house and provided liturgical care for the chapel also came from there.
