Liebfrauenheide
The pilgrimage chapel Liebfrauenheide near Klein-Krotzenburg has its origin in a miraculous image made of wood, which represents the Sorrowful Mother of God Maria . The picture, created around 1620, was found by shepherds in a hollow oak near the Dreckshausen desert . In 1736 a chapel was built on the site , which was demolished in 1755 and rebuilt as a parish church in Rembrücken . The miraculous image itself was transferred to the parish church of St. Nicholas.
At the instigation of Bishop Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler of Mainz , a chapel was rebuilt more than a hundred years later and consecrated by him in 1868. On July 25, 1869, he delivered his widely acclaimed sermon to about 10,000 workers on social justice and the future of work.
Since 1955 there has been the Fatima pilgrimage to the chapel from May 13th to October 13th , introduced by the pastor Jakob Georgen, a great admirer of Mary.
The pilgrimage chapel is looked after by the Catholic parish of St. Nicholas with its parish church of St. Nicholas .
