According to the Winzer community chronicle, it was created as follows: In 1666, schoolmaster Hans Huber planted an image of Our Lady Help of Christians on a tree there. A few years later, a small chapel was built in the shade of oaks and linden trees. On July 25, 1837, five people were praying in the chapel when a severe thunderstorm raged. The trunk of a half-rotten linden tree fell on the chapel, causing it to collapse, but the visitors escaped unharmed. This event was taken as a sign from heaven for the long-desired construction of a new chapel.
Thus, the current chapel was built in 1838. The miraculous image is presumably still the original one from 1666.
