Chapel at the entrance to the village, the linden tree planted on March 18, 2019, is on the right.
Since time immemorial, there has been a Calvary with three crosses in front of a dilapidated chapel on the Lillinger Höhe. In 1817, farmer Konrad Weber from Sollenberg renovated the chapel and placed a house altar and an image of Mary inside.
At the instigation of the local parish priest of Weißenohe and by order of the Royal Bavarian government, the chapel had to be demolished again in 1818. In gratitude for his recovery from a leg ailment, farmer Lorenz Schaffer from Görbitz arranged for the chapel's reconstruction in 1871. Schaffer had an image of a guardian angel placed in the chapel. On the Feast of the Guardian Angels (October 2nd) in 1872, the chapel received its blessing from the parish priest of Weißenohe.
In 1970, following the completion of the land consolidation project, the chapel underwent a thorough renovation and was completely repainted inside by the academic painter Wendelin Kusche. The paintings depict the life of Mary, freely adapted from the apocryphal Gospel of James. The front of the chapel is adorned with a magnificent ornament featuring angel wings, connecting it to the chapel's guardian angel tradition. The ceiling painting depicts the brotherhood of the world's religions. At its center is the globe with the Heraclitus quote inscribed around it: "Know thyself." Plaques bearing the names of those who fell in the two World Wars are mounted on the exterior wall. A memorial stone commemorating the land consolidation project is also erected.
In 2015, the chapel required renovation once again. The masonry was repaired. The interior paintings had deteriorated, their outlines fading.
The painter Erich Müller, a student of Wendelin Kusche, masterfully restored the work in the spirit of his teacher. A unique aspect of the chapel is that it is a church of the people. It was repaired and maintained through their own initiative, embraced and cared for by the Christians of the surrounding villages, and continues to be used for worship services to this day. Four mighty linden trees form a leafy canopy over the small church. All suffered severe damage from storms.

At the instigation of the local parish priest of Weißenohe and by order of the Royal Bavarian government, the chapel had to be demolished again in 1818. In gratitude for his recovery from a leg ailment, farmer Lorenz Schaffer from Görbitz arranged for the chapel's reconstruction in 1871. Schaffer had an image of a guardian angel placed in the chapel. On the Feast of the Guardian Angels (October 2nd) in 1872, the chapel received its blessing from the parish priest of Weißenohe.
In 1970, following the completion of the land consolidation project, the chapel underwent a thorough renovation and was completely repainted inside by the academic painter Wendelin Kusche. The paintings depict the life of Mary, freely adapted from the apocryphal Gospel of James. The front of the chapel is adorned with a magnificent ornament featuring angel wings, connecting it to the chapel's guardian angel tradition. The ceiling painting depicts the brotherhood of the world's religions. At its center is the globe with the Heraclitus quote inscribed around it: "Know thyself." Plaques bearing the names of those who fell in the two World Wars are mounted on the exterior wall. A memorial stone commemorating the land consolidation project is also erected.
In 2015, the chapel required renovation once again. The masonry was repaired. The interior paintings had deteriorated, their outlines fading.
The painter Erich Müller, a student of Wendelin Kusche, masterfully restored the work in the spirit of his teacher. A unique aspect of the chapel is that it is a church of the people. It was repaired and maintained through their own initiative, embraced and cared for by the Christians of the surrounding villages, and continues to be used for worship services to this day. Four mighty linden trees form a leafy canopy over the small church. All suffered severe damage from storms.
