"An Antonius figure was washed ashore three times on the banks of the Rhine. A sign for the people of Hitdorf. Lorenz Schlömer takes care of the little church, which was built in honor of the patron for mountain men and spouses as well as for lost things."

The chapel, affectionately called "Kapellche", plays an important role in the history of Hitdorf. According to tradition, it was built to thank the Rhine for washing up a previously stolen Antonius figure – a total of three times. The people of Hitdorf saw this as a sign from God and built the chapel. It has been a listed building since July 19, 1984.
