The Erentrudiskapelle is located at the southeast end of the Tuniberg on the 271 m high Kapellenberg above the Freiburg district of Munzingen . It is also considered the landmark of the Tuniberg.

The chapel is consecrated to Saint Erentrudis of Salzburg , a sister of Saint Rupert of Salzburg , who was mistakenly confused with Saint Trudpert, who was venerated in Breisgau .

history

In the 13th century there was a castle of the Lords of Staufen on the Kapellenberg . 1520. In 1573, 1580 and 1635 a chapel is mentioned. A report from 1666 names a chapel of St. Erentrudis with a statue of St. Nicholas . In 1698 Johann Friedrich von Kageneck donated money to hold masses in the chapel. During the War of the Spanish Succession , the chapel was destroyed in 1713, but was rebuilt shortly afterwards at the instigation of the hermit Melchior Rech and the pastor Franz Benedict Ginter and consecrated in 1715/16. Hermits ("Berglebrüder") lived in an annex until 1843. The chapel received a new bell in 1745 and a relic of the Erentrudis of Salzburg in 1748 , donated by the Salzburg monastery Nonnberg . In 1750, the sculptor Matthias Faller created an altar with the statues of St. Trudpert and Erentrudius for the chapel, which were donated to the Augustinian Museum in Freiburg in 1926 . In 1788 the chapel was supposed to be secularized , but this was withdrawn in 1792 after protests by the community.

In 1879 the chapel was rebuilt without the hermit apartment after a long period of deterioration. After the Second World War, damage was repaired and the equipment was renewed. The Freiburg painter Ernst Riess created a winged altar for the chapel in 1948 , the central panel is now on the north wall. In 1949, a small bell from the Neu-Ulm bell foundry Grüninger with the strike tone b "+4 was hung in the open roof turret. In 1984, Abbot Franz Bachler from Salzburg consecrated a new Erentrudis statue based on the model of a late Gothic statue from Nonnberg Monastery.
