In the year of salvation in 1891, 128 years ago, the then parish priest Joseph Hager was brought to Gunzenheim for an accident. On the way home he used the shorter footpath. It was night. Fog and blowing snow prevented him from moving on. He stood there lost, he knew and knew the quarry nearby. He was afraid that he would fall down there
could. In his distress he pleaded with the Mother of God for help and promised her to build a grotto here.

Maria helped! The fog disappeared. He heard the bell chime from the Oral Church Tower. He found the way and came home well. Pastor Joseph Hager kept his promise and had a Lourdes grotto built in the same year.

Not far from Mündlinger Strasse, a beautiful grotto. Definitely a place to reflect.
