Wikipedia offers the following description of the church's origins: Wikipedia provides the following description of the church's history: ... "The construction of the church dates back to a promise made in the final days of the Second World War. When the village was threatened with destruction, the parish priest vowed to build a new church in honor of the Patrona Bavariae if the village were spared. His plea was granted, and on September 1, 1945, the foundation stone for the new church was laid.[1] It was a single-nave church built of rough-hewn ashlar masonry. It was completed in 1949. The church tower, topped with an onion dome, is attached to the west side. The bell frame is located in the uppermost story of the tower, while the clock is housed in the story below. An octagonal roof lantern, also topped with an onion dome, rises from the roof of the chancel. The church furnishings include a late Baroque high altar built in 1777, which is said to have originated in Bamberg Cathedral. The altarpiece, flanked by two columns on each side, was renovated in 1946. The central image of the high altar depicts Mary, The Patrona Bavariae, with the Christ Child, and above her to the right, the Archangel Gabriel, who, together with a second angel, holds the crown over the Mother of God as Queen of Heaven. In the lower right is Satan, who has been cast into Hell with his followers. The altarpiece depicts God the Father with a blessing hand.

Sit down, take a break, and think about the story

At the hut next door, you are asked to water the flowers on the cross with water from the deer fountain right next to it, so that it can be preserved by the hikers.

What is taken for granted today was a major problem 100 years ago. The small village of Hölzlashof in the Fichtel Mountains quickly gained control of its water supply by tapping its springs. The first documented mention of Hölzlashof can be found in the Reichenbach Monastery's tradition codex from 1165. An entry in this book, "predium, quod cicitur Hezelisruth," attests that around 1165, the son of the Nordgau Margrave Diepold III, the young Diepold (Theobaldus junior marchio), donated an estate (predium) to Reichenbach Monastery, called Hezelisruht. Therefore, the people of Hölzlashof celebrated the 850th anniversary on June 14, 2015. Visitors can still see some granite witnesses to the water supply for themselves today. In Hölzlashof, there were once three wells, initially serving to supply water to the local population and livestock. Unfortunately, due to the expansion of the water supply, not all of them exist or are no longer in service. Only the village well at the wayside shrine still exists today and supplies fresh water from a spring located above the village. The inlet was redesigned by Gerhard Plannerer in 2017. In the past, "Biener Frieda" cleaned the well. She also tended and swept the street, and the boys enjoyed deliberately scattering straw and leaves around the well. For several years, the Käs family has ensured that the village well at the wayside shrine is kept clean. During Easter, Christine and Josef Käs decorate it with Easter decorations. According to legend, the wells were also used as watering holes for livestock, and the water was bottled. The field workers needed something to drink. For centuries, the main connecting route between Ebnath and Neusorg led through Hölzlashof and past the wells. Here, both people and animals could refresh themselves in the cool water. In addition to the main well, which still exists today, there was another well at the "Peter House" (Schraml) for the "lower village" and a well at the Ritter estate ("Zeisl") for the "upper village." According to an excerpt from the shoemaker's chronicle, the Hölzlashof water was already used for beer production more than 100 years ago.
