The Marienkapelle or Schönthal Chapel was a sacred building at Säumarkt 12 in Schwäbisch Hall .
description
The chapel was first mentioned in a document in 1296. It was located east of the “Stätt-Tor” (or “Städtthor” or “Inneres Gelblinger Tor”) and was built by the Schöntal Monastery . In 1362 it received rich donations from the Senft and the Bachenstein. Around 1500 it was extended to the south in the late Gothic style. The late Gothic tracery windows originate from this construction phase . They were used by the Catholics as a place of worship until 1718 the city acquired the entire Schönthaler Hof. The massive construction of the complex kept the great fire from the Gelbinger suburb in 1728. In 1808 the Schönthaler Hof and the Marienkapelle were demolished by order of the Württemberg government, and the Württemberg guard house was built in their place . The southern outer wall with the late Gothic windows matched the style of the St. Michael choir. When the southern outer wall with the tracery windows was demolished, the Romanesque components were discovered.
