ノスヴァイラーのおすすめツーリングルート

ここは、ノートヴァイラー（ドイツ）とヴィンゲン（フランス）間の、かつての「制限され、時折監視されていた小規模国境交通のための許可された国境通過点」にあった、元税関職員の小屋（税関保護小屋）です。 「国境は1826年にフランスとドイツ（当時はバイエルン王国）の間で最終的に確定しました。[...] 1871年から1918年、および1939年から1945年にかけて、国境は重要性を持ちませんでした。 [税関保護]小屋は1969年に建てられました。税関職員とその家族の住居は、1922年からはHauptstraße 5、1937年からはHauptstraße 34にありました。 1993年1月1日、EUのシェンゲン協定により国境管理は廃止されました。」 出典（原文引用）：現地の案内板

St. Anne's Chapel near Niederschlettenbach is a medieval pilgrimage chapel containing the tomb of the knight Hans von Droth (also known as Troth or Trotha). Saint Anne is the patron saint of miners and boatmen. This suggests that the chapel was built on this site to praise God, as mining was practiced in the Wasgau region from an early period. A former iron ore mine is also located in the immediate vicinity.

Saint Anne is the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the grandmother of Jesus Christ—not attested in the biblical texts. She is mentioned, however, in apocryphal (i.e., not included in the canon of the Bible) writings, for example, in the so-called "Protoevangelium of James." There is no historically verified information about Anne's life, but numerous traditional stories exist, summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among many other places of worship—such as this one—she is the patron saint of St. Anne's Church in Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia), where a piece of her skullcap has been kept and venerated as a relic since the early 16th century. In the church calendar, Saint Anne's feast day—together with her husband Joachim—is July 26th.

On July 25, 1870, during the Franco-Prussian War, Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin, along with eleven other men, was assigned to a reconnaissance patrol in Alsace, France, to determine the enemy's troop strength. He was initially captured by French troops, but managed to escape and reach Palatinate soil near Hirschthal. From there, he continued through the Wegelnburg area to Nothweiler. A villager helped him water his horse at the well, which is why the well has been named after it ever since.

The village center features a community center and fountain. Information panels about the local history can be found on the walls of the houses.
