Large open-air area with a small covered memorial for the chapel in honor of Saint Aldegundis, which was destroyed in the 18th century.

Until the Corona pandemic, the traditional Aldegundis market was held here on the last Sunday in July, but this was finally abandoned by a municipal council decision in 2022. Only a church service on Sunday morning will continue to be held.

The deserted area is 4 km west of Damscheid. The St. Aldegundiskirche lay in the Oberwesel city forest. In 1171 a St. Adelgund (apud sanctam Aldegundem domum) is mentioned for the first time. At that time, Emperor Friedrich I renewed the ownership confirmation of his predecessor Konrad III. for the Springiersbach monastery: in it too. Vineyards near St. Adldegund listed. A meadow near St. Algunde is mentioned in 1477. ...
In 1975 a new, small chapel was built in the support group around the police chief in Malmen. Since then, a service has been celebrated every year in connection with the Aldegundis market on the old market square in the middle of the forest to commemorate the place of pilgrimage.

Beautifully situated memorial in the middle of the forest - I don't know whether devotions still take place here
