history
The Prussian first recording from 1840/1844 shows the place unlabeled. In 1818 15 people lived in the village. In 1839, under the name Am Schemm, Schemm belonged to the Stucken school district of the rural community of Oelkinghausen in the Ennepe district of Hagen , which was converted into the Ennepe district in 1843 . The place categorized as Kotten according to the place and distance table of the government district Arnsberg had two houses at that time. At that time there were 42 people living in the village, 34 of whom were Protestant and eight were Catholic.
The community encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia gives a number of 19 inhabitants for the year 1885, who lived in three houses. Schemm still belonged to the rural community Oelkinghausen of the Ennepe district, which had been assigned to the Schwelm district since 1887 . The edition for 1895 gives two houses and 16 inhabitants, the 1905 edition two houses and 14 inhabitants.
On April 1, 1923, the rural community of Oelkinghausen was dissolved and Schemm came with the rest of the community to the newly founded community of Milspe , which became part of the city of Ennepetal on April 1, 1949.
The Maria Schnee chapel
In 2009 the Maria Schnee chapel was consecrated in Schemm on the Way of St. James and has been a popular place of worship ever since.
On Christmas Day 2008, after the traditional annual family crib hike, the participants met in Beyenburg and discussed the topic of “miracles”. One of them reported that he had discovered a circle with a cross in the snow on February 2nd, 2008 at the time of Candlemas on the meadow at the monastery church, while inside the "old Madonna" was standing on a wagon wheel. He interpreted this as a vision of Saint Mary in the snow, photographed the apparition and gave the picture to the participants to see. A pastor who took part suggested building a chapel at this location.
Then plans for the construction of the chapel were forged and a citizen of Beyenburg made available a small piece of land that had decayed over time, on which there was a goat shed that was later used as a wash house and was now slowly falling into disrepair. Many volunteers put in working hours for the renovation and renovation until the small chapel within sight of the Beyenburg monastery church was completed and inaugurated in September . Brother Dirk Wasserfuhr inherited a statue of “Maria in the Snow” from the Order of the Cross from an estate and brought it in. Since then, the Black Madonna and Child has been venerated here. A 51-armed candlestick stands next to the statue.
The auxiliary bishop of Cologne visited the new chapel for the inauguration ceremony on September 11, 2009 . When Cardinal Joachim Meisner came to Beyenburg for the 800th anniversary of the Order of the Cross, he was enthusiastic and surprised.
The chapel is quite small, inside only has space for a maximum of ten people and outside a stone altar. There are now constant visitors to the consecrated place of worship “Am Schemm” near the Wupper . 50 to 60 tea lights are lit here every day .
On August 5th, the consecration of the Roman patriarchal basilica " Santa Maria Maggiore " in 432, which is associated with the legend of the snow miracle, is remembered annually, especially in Italy .
The chapel is on the route of the Bergisches Jakobsweg.
