history
In the 17th century, residents of Immenstadt settled above the Steigbachtobel near the Möser Bridge for fear of the plague and the Swedish troops . There they built a stone chapel in 1632, consecrated to Saint Anne and Saint Joachim. It was apparently demolished in 1800. A wooden chapel built not far from the stone chapel was first mentioned in 1745. This also no longer exists. The current wooden chapel dates from the early 19th century. It was dedicated to St. Wendelin , patron saint of shepherds and animals. It was once furnished with late Gothic figures of Saints Sebastian and Rochus. These are now in the parish church of St. Nicholas . The wooden chapel is decorated with a wooden figure and several votive pictures.
The rectangular building with a gable roof has an extension on the side that can be used as a shelter .
The wooden chapel stands at the intersection of various hiking trails and was used early on as an orientation aid for mountain tours. In a hiking guide from 1874 she is z. B. in descriptions of tours from Immenstadt through the Steigbachtobel on the Stuiben over the Almagmach , on the Mittagberg , on the Steineberg and on the Immenstädter Horn .
