Wierl Chapel The Wierl Chapel, actually known as St. Thomas Chapel, is a chapel located between Sandersdorf and Schamhaupten. It was built in 1907 to commemorate the birth of the last Sandersdorf baron, Thomas De Bassus. It remains in the family's possession to this day. An annual procession takes place there, with a mass celebrated there. To mark the chapel's renovation, completed in 2003, the Catholic Women's Association of the Schamhaupten parish organized a star pilgrimage in mid-May, followed by a May devotion. Among other things, the Madonna, which had stood there "for several decades, possibly even since before the Second World War," was restored, and the masonry was cleaned. Source: www.wikipedia.de

The Schambach The defining word "Scham" comes from the Old High German "skam," meaning "short." Accordingly, the meaning is "short stream." The Schambach River originates in Schamhaupten. It is a karst spring with an average flow of 330 liters per second. The springs lie in a large spring pond, which flows into a smaller one. The large pond is approximately 150 meters long, 35 meters wide, and encloses a small island. The Schambach flows to Schamhaupten, initially southward through the Riedenburg Schambach Valley. Near Sandersdorf, it turns east and reaches the market town of Altmannstein via Neuenhinzenhausen and Sollern. From there, its course is guided northward by State Road 2231. It continues through Hexenagger and the village of the same name, Schambach. In Riedenburg, after 16.3 kilometers, the Schambach flows into the town pond via a rocky staircase with a waterfall over five meters high, which connects to the Altmühl River. Source: www.wikipedia.de
