history
Nothing is currently known about the first documentary mention of Sindelsberg, at the latest in 1218 it was mentioned in a regest of the Wörschweiler monastery . In the 15th century, the place belonged to the Westhofen office of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg . With the reunion policy of France under King Louis XIV (around 1650) the Westhofen and Sindelsberg offices came under French sovereignty. After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , the inheritance - and with it Sindelsberg - fell in 1736 to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte , the hereditary prince and later Landgrave Ludwig (IX.) of Hessen-Darmstadt . In the Hesse-Darmstadt time, Sindelsberg no longer belonged to the Westhofen office.
Saint Blaise Chapel
The information board at the Saint Blaise Chapel ( location ) says the following: In the 6th century, when Léobard founded the monastery of Marmoutier, according to legend, Sindenus, one of his followers, built his hermitage on a hill that is henceforth called " Sindenus mons "(Sindelsberg). In 1115 the abbot Richwin had a Benedictine monastery built here, the chapel of which was consecrated in 1137. After being destroyed in the Peasants' War, it was destroyed in 1525. Only the original church tower remained, while the nave was renewed in 1584. The chancel was dedicated to the cult of St. Blaise, whose story of suffering is depicted on the gallery panels.
