Hollar
Hollar is a deserted area in Ockstadt , a district of Friedberg in the Wetterau district in Hesse .
The village of Hollar was first mentioned in a deed of donation to the Benedictine monastery in Lorch from the year 817 with Ockstadt and Rodheim . The ever-growing city of Friedberg took the town's residents away, as they all moved to the Free Imperial City of Friedberg. After the Thirty Years War , the village and the church fell apart. Between 1722 and 1726 Baron Friedrich Gottfried von Franckenstein , the fiefdom of Ockstadt, had today's chapel built on the foundation walls of the ruined church. The Hollarkapelle is located one kilometer from Ockstadt (Hessen).
Today the Hollarkapelle is used for weddings and baptisms. In addition, every year on Ascension Day there is a procession from the St. Jakobus Church in Ockstadt to the Hollarkapelle.
