legend
The legend about the Bründel Chapel was noted in 1921 by senior teacher Leopold Petzelmayer as follows:
- People had known the spring on the western slope of the castle hill since ancient times .
- Once a poor woman, who had been suffering from an eye disease for a long time, wet her eyes with the water from the said spring and was healed. The news spread and soon many came to seek healing through the use of the water. Even blind people could see after washing their eyes with the water. Because so many people had been healed in such a miraculous way, the spring was called the "HOLY BRUNCH" and a chapel was built over the spring, which is still preserved today.
- A rich countess, who had lost her eyesight due to an accident, heard of the miraculous water deep in Hungary. So she decided to go on a pilgrimage to the “well on the mountain” so that she could also be helped in her suffering. She came, washed her eyes, and saw. In gratitude for this she had the chapel decorated. When she returned home, she told everyone about the miracle that happened to her at the holy bundle.
- This came to the ears of another rich Hungarian countess, who was also blind. She also made the long journey to the “healing Bründl” and hoped for healing. But the countess had one bad quality: she was extremely stingy; therefore God wanted to test them. When she came towards Schwarzenbach on the Kobersdorfer Berg and looked over the chapel from afar, she saw and saw it. Then she believed it was no longer necessary to drive to Bründl and ordered the driver to turn back. As soon as she was down the mountain on the other side, night lay over her eyes again and her eyesight had gone out again. Terrified, she hurried back again. But the washing at the Bründl was no longer of any use. That was the punishment for stinginess.
