St. Anna Chapel (Scheer)
The St. Anna Chapel , the so-called "Käppele" on the Mengener Straße at the entrance to the Rote Steig, owes its existence to the devotion to St. Anna , Mary's mother , attested early on in Scheer .
It is possible that the altar consecrated in the parish church in 1412 was the St. Anne's altar mentioned in 1513 on which the St. Anne chaplain was donated in 1518. The St. Anna Chapel seems to have been built after a relic of St. Anne was brought to Scheer in 1605 .
The cube-shaped building with a surrounding cornice , saddle roof and wrought-iron Biedermeier cross has an open round arch in the north . In the groin vaulted interior there is a life-size wood carving of Our Lady with the child on the left hand.
Since the chapel is also called "'s Forstmeister Käppele" , it can be assumed that it received special support from the lordly forester Sättele, who allocated money for anniversaries to the church factory in 1725 , especially since the St. Anne's Association in the same year Beneficiums with the Frühmeßkaplanei took place. In 1998 the chapel was taken over by Georgi care .
The last Gospel is read here during Ösch processions .
The last chapel renovation took place in 1986.
