St. Anna (Haltern am See)
St. Anna , dedicated to St. Anna / Anna selbdritt , is a pilgrimage chapel and church in Haltern am See on the 74.5 m high Sankt Annaberg , a southern branch of the Hohe Mark .
history
The chapel was mentioned as early as 1378 as St. Anna herself third . Annaberg, formerly Königsberg, has been a place of pilgrimage since around 1556 . The current chapel was built in the 17th century when Jesuits (until 1788) settled on Annaberg. In 1653 the first prayer house was built under the direction of Pastor Boeker, and in 1674 Pastor Nottebohm built today's simple chapel as a hall church with a retracted chancel .
Pilgrimage site
In 1967 the chapel was supplemented by a larger modern church building. In good weather, Holy Mass is celebrated both inside and outside the church. The decor includes the miraculous image of Anna herself third in the chapel, which was carved in the 15th century by an unknown Lower Rhine master, and the church window with the motif of the burning thorn bush . There is also a Way of the Cross from the 17th century with partly preserved wayside shrines and modern sandstone reliefs by Joseph Krautwald . The St. Anna Church belongs to the parish of St. Sixtus in Haltern.
On the Annaberg are the pilgrimage sites with guest houses, the Könzgenheim (a home folk high school of the KAB , named after Gottfried Könzgen ), the inpatient facility for care for the elderly (St. Anna Altenheim) and the youth education center Gilwell St. Ludger of the German Scouting Society St. Georg .
Silesian pilgrimage
Since 1945, the Annaberg pilgrimages of the Silesians have been taking place on Haltern's Annaberg , which are reminiscent of the Silesian St. Annaberg .
In 1981 a memorial column was erected at the Way of the Cross by the Oberschlesier country team . It was designed by Laurentius Ulrich Englisch OFM . Places and people from the German-speaking Christian history of Silesia are depicted on the bronze stele, which is carried by a group of Anna selbdritt.
