history
In the 9th century, monks of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Peter and Paul in Weissenburg originally built it as St. Peter's Chapel. After the change to the responsibility of the St. Walburg Benedictines , it was consecrated to St. Ulrich and after the founding of the parish in Fischbach in 1487 assigned to the same. Looting of the chapel by Vogt Dörsch von der Wegelnburg , in the Thirty Years' War and in the Palatinate War of Succession left its mark. The chapel is mentioned in writing in connection with the dispute over the taxes between Hanau-Lichtenberg , the counties of Pfalz-Zweibrücken and the Duchy of Lorraine . In 1947 the damage caused by the Second World War was repaired; In 1972 it was restored again.
Architecture and equipment
After its long history, the hall building is now in the late Gothic style. A side altar comes from the Landau prison chapel . In the choir is a canteen made of stone, which was made of existing canteens. The cafeteria serves as a celebration altar . The high Gothic, 67 cm high "Maria vom Gute Rat" made of limewood dates from the 13th and beginning of the 14th century. It is one of the oldest depictions of Mary in the Speyer diocese. It is said to come from the Stürzelbronn Monastery . Because of the risk of theft, the original was placed in the Palatinate Historical Museum in Speyer and replaced by a copy. The 80 cm high statue of St. Ulrich is decorated with the insignia book and fish and is to the right of the choir arch. On the left is the statue of St. Wendelin . Both figures made of linden wood have been newly painted. They date from the first half of the 18th century. On the back wall there is a plaster figure of St. Anne . The origin is unknown. The statue was brought to safety in the Schleithal parish during World War II . It has been back in its old location since 1955. At the request of Pastor Ludwig Schaufert in 1870, the Episcopal Ordinariate in Augsburg left a relic of St. Ulrich from a finger of the right hand, set in gold and pearls. A monstrance purchased for this purpose is used for presentation . The Way of the Cross , created in 1968 for the parish church, has been installed in the chapel since 1985. The Way of the Cross is made of ceramics and is colored glazed and was financed by donations. The first mention of the bells comes from the year 1576, when the bell was "removed" by Vogt Dörsch. In 1836 a bell was consecrated with the inscription " Acquired by contributions from the Catholics of the Fischbach parish in 1836. My weight is about 100 pounds. Cast by Peter Lindemann in Zweibrücken. Udalricus ". In 1869, this bell had to replace the broken bell of the Fischbach parish and then also burst. In 1870 the turret and bell from the Faunerhof were placed on the chapel. The bell weighed 50 kp and rang with the tone h. In 1917 the bell was supposed to be melted down for armament purposes. The night before the scheduled delivery, the bell disappeared. Police investigations were unsuccessful. It reappeared a few days after the end of the war and is still heard today.
