history

Already in the 11th century by the Count of Sulzbach - Kastl-Habsberg the castle Habsberg built, remains one of the cistern is preserved. The castle was part of a network of castles and also served to protect against recurring raids from the Bohemian region. The castle was destroyed in the 14th century.

The founder of the pilgrimage to the Habsberg was a Johannes Panzer , court clerk of Count Tilly , from Helfenberg Castle near Lengenfeld . In 1680 he had a chapel with a votive tablet built on the Habsberg from the remains of the castle ruins to thank him for his healing from gout . The chapel was completed in 1682 and soon attracted many pilgrims .

In 1731 this chapel was demolished and a larger one was built for it. This was inaugurated on September 13, 1747. In the years 1761–1773, today's Rococo pilgrimage church Maria Heil der Kranken was built according to a design by the Munich elector master mason Leonhard Matthäus Giessl . In 1764 the Upper Palatinate painter Johann Michael Wild created the ceiling fresco of the sanctuary of the Habsberg pilgrimage church.

In 1961 a youth center was built, which was rebuilt several times. Halfway up there is a forest cemetery.
