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.
