The listed chapel, a landmark of Hofheim, is visible from afar (e.g., from the A66 motorway). Its impressive history was commemorated in 2016 with an exhibition and a book at the Hofheim City Museum, marking the 350th anniversary of the vow made there. The quotations in this text are taken from that book. Following the horrors of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), another catastrophe claimed victims among the population: the plague. In 1665, it was brought up the Rhine from Cologne to Mainz and spread – primarily via market ships – to Frankfurt and, from 1666 onward, to Flörsheim. Soon, other towns in the Main Valley were also affected. Hofheim was an exception. After the threat became tangible, particularly due to plague deaths in Zeilsheim and Flörsheim, Pastor Johannes Gleidner led the people of Hofheim in a procession to the "Rabberg" hill on June 3, 1666 (Ascension Day). As one of his later successors, Antonius Hilf, described in 1864, the procession, accompanied by penitential hymns, proceeded "up the vine-covered slope." Young men carried banners, the cross, and the canopy, beneath which four virgins carried an image of Mary. At the top, Gleidner asked if they would like to name the mountain "Carmelberg" (Carmel Mountain), build a chapel there, and vow to "make several pilgrimages there each year." Afterward, the people "fell to their knees, deeply moved," and made the vow—at which point, at that very moment, the bells of the parish church below began to ring. When further plague victims appeared in Wicker, Weilbach, Eppstein, Fischbach, Hochheim, Flörsheim, Eddersheim, Castel, Mainz, Frankfurt, and Zeilsheim, Gleidner led the communities of Hofheim and Marxheim up the mountain again on July 2, 1666 (the Feast of the Visitation). Pilgrims from surrounding villages joined the pilgrimage, and Gleidner renewed "the vow, made known to him by everyone, that if God would avert the afflictions of the plague, he would build a chapel on this site to His glory and to the praise of the Blessed Virgin Mary." Hofheim was spared from the plague, and in May 1667, work began on preparing the timber for the half-timbered structure. The chapel was consecrated on September 29th. One hundred years later, the church had become too small, and a new, larger one had to be built. By this time, a "pilgrimage tourism" had developed around the chapel, which was also a "thorn in the side" of the local priest. The new stone building was more than twice the size of the old chapel: 27.90 meters long, 12.60 meters wide, and 13.20 meters high. A gallery provided additional seating capacity. From 1774 onwards, silent prayer services were permitted, as the chapel was not consecrated until ten years later (1784). ```

The Meisterturm is a 30.8-meter[1] (approximately 37 meters including the antenna) high observation tower in Hofheim am Taunus. It is located at 292 meters above sea level[2] on the wooded Kapellenberg hill northwest of the town. Today, it only rises a few meters above the surrounding trees. However, it offers a complete panoramic view: to the south over the Rhine-Main region, and on a clear day as far as the Odenwald forest; to the north, the Taunus mountain range, including the Großer Feldberg.
