    old chapel with historical background on Koppelberg.

    The hermitage on Koppelberg was set up to look after the local church. The first hermit was the crippled Michael Kunzelmann (* 1697) from 1731–1739; he lived on alms. His successor was 1746-1787 Paul Luber (* 1718 in Hirschau, † December 12, 1787). He bought the hermitage and had it rebuilt in 1784, sang bass in the church choir and was rewarded with three guilders annually. He was followed in 1788–1793 by Elogius Mulzer (born August 12 in Pfreimd). He was a blacksmith by trade, according to his superiors, he knew nothing about hermitry, but in 1789 he built a house chapel on the south side of the hermitage. In 1793 he left Luhe. The last hermit was Arsenius Graf (born May 1, 1854 in Sendenbach, † April 7, 1935). He was a watchmaker by trade, he continued his trade in Luhe and also collected alms. He was here between August 23, 1895 and September 26, 1899 and from 1923 until his death.

    The Hermitage, which is connected to the church, has not existed since 1936; the elevated tank of the Luhe water supply was built in its place; However, a kind of house chapel was preserved, which was formerly the storage room of the hermitage.

    In 1734, Father Knorr built a way of the cross to Koppelberg.
