Marienkapelle (Grünlas)
The listed Marienkapelle is located in the Grünlas district of the Ebnath community .
history
The chapel goes back to a donated portrait of the Virgin, which Johann Kneidl from Grünlas made in 1826 because of a vow on the occasion of his recovery from an illness on a hazelnut tree with the permission of the local pastor Hopf and the judge Althammer . Our Lady appeared to him several times during his illness and instructed him to put up her picture on the path. Because of this history of origins, a pilgrimage has developed and many people have made votive offerings here and then reported of miraculous healings due to the intercession of Our Lady. An example from these reports should be mentioned:
“ In 1829 Barbara Schinner von Grünlas gave birth to two children. She gave birth to the first child properly, but she could not bear the second. The country doctor and midwife made 32 attacks, but all efforts were in vain; Country doctor says she must die. This makes the promise to sacrifice a wax child to Maria - Bild for 3 kr. She gave birth immediately without further pain. "
In 1829 the image of the Virgin was put in a wooden box and set up for the first time, in 1836 the donor had a larger box made and placed on a stone column. In 1841 the chapel was built for the miraculous picture. Many votive offerings were found in the attic of the chapel , such as crutches, wax eyes, wax feet and much more.
construction
The chapel is a plastered solid structure with a gable roof and granite portal. On both long sides are two recent windows made of colored glass. Above the entrance the letters "JK" and the year 1841 remind of the building of the chapel. In a niche above the entrance is St. Florian . In the roof turret is a bell that was cast in 1949 together with the bells of the Ebnath parish church by the bell foundry Hamm-Hofweber in Regensburg. The previous versions of the bells were melted down in both world wars.
