Donated in 1953 by Michael Vornlocker. Michael Vornlocker from Burgebrach was stationed in Egypt during World War II. During an air raid, he was trapped and buried alive. After a fortunate rescue and release from captivity, he vowed that he would erect a cross if he returned home safe and sound. He returned safely and did not forget his vow.

The most picturesque part of Bamberg's old town. It's particularly worth seeing from the Lower and St. Mark's Bridges.

According to legend, it was built by a wagon driver who, long ago, had gotten stuck with his wagon in the marshy area there. After spending the entire night in extreme distress and danger to his life, he swore that "if he was rescued, he would level this dangerous place and have a chapel built there in honor of the Seven Sleepers." The wagon driver probably dedicated the chapel to the Seven Sleepers, who are rarely venerated as saints in our region, because he had found a martyrdom scene with a relief of the Seven Sleepers there. This martyrdom was mentioned in various writings in 1530 and 1575.

The Seven Sleepers Chapel stands at the southern end of Stegaurach, on the road from Dellern to Hartlanden. In the simply furnished interior of the chapel, a stone altar forms the focal point. The altar relief depicts seven men at rest, the holy Seven Sleepers, with God the Father enthroned above them, surrounded by clouds and angel heads. The names of the Seven Sleepers, "Maximian, Malchus, Martinian, Dionysius, Johannes, Serapion, and Constantinus," were only recently inscribed above the altar. The Slavs, in particular, venerated the Seven Sleepers as saints, and so it is possible that, as early inhabitants of this area, they brought their cult to Stegaurach. On the other hand, one could also assume that, at the time of the Crusades, a returning participant from the local area heard of these saints, perhaps experienced the power of their intercession, and spread their veneration here.

The wooden chapel was built around 1600 and first renovated in 1661. In 1696, it was replaced by a larger stone structure on the same site. Until 1825, its feast day was celebrated with a solemn procession of Stegaurach's faithful. Afterward, this beautiful custom fell into oblivion for a long time. It wasn't until 1860 that the parish remembered it again, and since then, it has held an annual procession to the Seven Sleepers Chapel on June 27th.
