Alexius Chapel (Magdeburg)

The Alexius Chapel was a chapel from the Romanesque period in Magdeburg's old town . The patron saint is probably Alexius von Edessa .

history

The chapel was located south of the Convent of Our Lady near the Alexius Hospital . In 1506 the pilgrimage chapel to the Mount of Olives was built west of the Alexius Chapel , which in literature is often incorrectly equated with the Alexius Chapel and referred to as the Alexius Chapel. The Alexius Chapel was also damaged in the Thirty Years War and then, like the neighboring pilgrimage chapel, was integrated into a farm building. With the demolition of the farm buildings in 1888, the traces of the Alexius Chapel also disappeared.
