The fourteen-year-old farmer boy Josef Bösel (born 1887) always had the same dream of Our Lady in a dog rose bush, which stood in a meadow on the northern outskirts of the hamlet of Illemad. Although the boy was laughed at by his friends, he revealed himself to his father. He spoke to the priest Anton Bobinger from Lauterbach, who suggested that a chapel be built at the site. The Illemader realized their wish of their priest in a short time: The St. Marien chapel, built in-house, was inaugurated in 1904.

Hiking

The hamlet of Illemad, which belongs to the municipality of Buttenwiesen, is a good starting point. You can hardly miss the small chapel on the right side of which you start.
