history

The first written mention of the Holy Cross Chapel in 1509. According to tradition, to a new building of the wife of Rudolf V. , of Sulz , Margaret of Waldenburg - Sonnenberg , have been donated. The construction from 1525 stood until 1629. This year again a completely new building must have taken place. Its architectural style reflects the transition from Renaissance to Baroque. The chapel served as a place of worship for the Old Catholic community founded in 1872 from 1874 to 1907 .

After they were in the cemetery chapel, the Old Catholics had also received the parish church of Maria Himmelfahrt for use, so the Catholic community built an emergency church , which was benefited on August 8, 1875 by Bishop Lothar von Kübel . It was this building that moved many to return to the Catholic Church. The Old Catholics returned the Holy Cross Chapel and the Chapel Fund to the Catholics on January 15, 1960. Before that, vestments and the baroque sun monstrance had been returned.

Furnishing

It contains the pilgrimage cross from 1681 with the coat of arms of the parish priest of Tiengen (1670–1687), Johann Mauritius von Broßwalden. The long building is crossed by a small transverse building and on the roof there is a small half-timbered structure , a roof turret with a bell. The chapel is located below the Osterbrünnele on an ascent to Vitibuck , here was once a fourteen-station Way of the Cross (until 1822).
