The St. Anna Chapel is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage church in the Palatinate Forest . It is located near Burrweiler in the Rhineland-Palatinate district of Südliche Weinstrasse . Various pilgrimages to St. Anne take place here every summer .
Geographical location
The chapel stands above the village of Burrweiler on the Annaberg, a promontory on the eastern slope of the Teufelsberg ( 597.6 m ) in the southern part of the Haardt . It stands at an altitude of 423 m and thus about 170 m above the village of Burrweiler ( 271 m ). In the immediate vicinity is the St. Anna Hut of the Palatinate Forest Association , which is always open during pilgrimages.
From the promontory at the chapel, the view falls over the Upper Rhine Plain to the mountains of the Odenwald and the northern Black Forest .
history
The first evidence of a chapel on the Annaberg is said to have been made as early as the beginning of the 16th century. The first direct written evidence comes from a building material invoice from 1591. Over the centuries, some previous buildings are mentioned. A new construction of the chapel by the Leyen'schen bailiff Döring is described in 1714, which is said to be the fourth building at this location. In 1765 the foundation stone for another new building was laid by the Gleisweiler pastor Johann Anton Braith. Today's neo-Gothic chapel was built by the local pastor Michael Hendel in 1895/1896. In 1880 the Burrweiler Way of the Cross was established from the Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary to the chapel. In the 1930s, a confessional chapel was added on the east side. The stem was built in 1984.
description
The interior of the chapel is also neo-Gothic, with colored glazing and wall paintings in the style of the Nazarenes . The brothers Matthäus and Rudolf Schiestl from Würzburg created the high altar, the two side altars and the frescoes in the two transepts.
