The name "Maingestellsgraben" is unwieldy, but it fits the tangle that currently exists there. What is it all about? The "Maingestellsgraben" is a small side valley that branches off from the Main Valley behind the Karlstadt industrial park. It is part of the Grainberg-Kalbenstein nature reserve. But over the years, the area has become heavily overgrown. There are also several trash-strewn buildings and rusty fences there. That's about to change.

By clearing out the lower red clay stones and flushing under the lower red quartzite bench, red quartzite blocks break off and the formation of a block current. The blocks show Oblique stratification and oscillation ripples. Source: https://www.umweltatlas.bayern.de/mapapps/resources/reports/geotope/generateBericht.pdf?additionallayerfieldvalue=677R008

According to a legend, the captive Thuringian princess Radegundis was at the source there when the Franconian king Chlothachar abducted her to his kingdom for a wedding. According to legend, she had fled the forced childless marriage after ten years in order to found a monastery in front of the city of Poitiers after being ordained a deacon by Bishop Medardus of Noyon, where she lived until her death in 587. The Müdesheimer Kreuzweg, which ends here at the chapel, has its own history: In 1866 the Prussians fought against Bavaria near Hammelburg and Kissingen. The residents of Werngrund feared that the Prussians would invade their peaceful valley. The residents of Müdesheim praised the creation of this Stations of the Cross, if they were spared them, and in 1872/73, gratefully built this way.
