The St. Ursula Chapel is a pilgrimage church dedicated to Saint Ursula, dating back to the mid-18th century. It is located one and a half kilometers southeast of Alsleben near Bad Königshofen in Lower Franconia, in a wooded area close to the Bavarian-Thuringian border. As early as the 15th century, a church dedicated to Saint Ursula stood on the mountain. This was destroyed during the Peasants' War in 1525, but was soon replaced by a small new chapel. In 1704, the widow of the Sternberg castle builder Wolff Dietrich Truchseß von Wetzhausen (Baroness Eva Rosina) donated the relics. As a result, the chapel quickly became a popular pilgrimage destination, attracting up to 10,000 pilgrims annually. In 1750, construction began on a new, larger church, which was consecrated in 1754. In 1803, St. Ursula's was closed, but after protests, it reopened in 1811. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Ursula

Saint Ursula and her (allegedly 11,000) companions, to whom this chapel is dedicated, are – alongside the Three Wise Men – arguably the most famous Cologne saints. According to the legendary biography, Ursula was an English king's daughter who, along with her companions, made a pilgrimage to Rome. On the return journey down the Rhine, the Huns under King Attila besieged Cologne. They murdered everyone.

An important memorial in German history.

In 1199, Heinrich von Sternberg from the family of the Counts of Henneberg built a castle at the foot of the "Sterinbercs". In 1695, the Barons of Guttenberg bought the property around Sternberg Castle. The Reformation was introduced in Sulzdorf an der Lederhecke around 1555 by the Truchsess von Wetzhausen. Protestant preaching is said to have been taking place there as early as 1537. From 1628 to 1649, the town was temporarily Catholic again due to the Counter-Reformation. Sulzdorf was part of the manor of the Barons of Guttenberg, which was mediatized in 1806 by the Grand Duchy of Würzburg of Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany and with him fell to Bavaria in 1814. The political municipality was created in 1818. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulzdorf_an_der_Lederhecke

Sulzdorf an der Lederhecke (officially Sulzdorf a.d.Lederhecke) is a municipality in the Lower Franconian district of Rhön-Grabfeld. The municipality is a member of the Bad Königshofen im Grabfeld administrative community. The name refers to a wooded strip several kilometers long, which was called Lederhecke and which represented the border with the Saxon and later Thuringian areas. There are several theories about the meaning of "Lederhecke", including "muddy water" or "pasture forest". Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulzdorf_an_der_Lederhecke
