On the state road from Auerbach to Neuhaus stands at the end of the village Ranna on the left hand something elevated this small church with rich history. Shortly before the end of the 14th century, the first church in Ranna near the former iron hammer was probably built. The patroness of the smithy was already chosen as the patron saint of the saint Mary Magdalene. "The bells of the chapel served a double purpose at that time: First of all they had to call the inhabitants to the service, but then they showed the hammer people the working hours and breaks like clocks."
