History of the pilgrimage

In May 1613, several residents from Pipinsried made a pilgrimage to Regensburg to St. Wolfgang on the occasion of the translation of his bones to Regensburg. They brought back several pictures of St. Wolfgang from this trip. They placed one of the pictures in the hollow of a tree. When this tree was felled years later, the picture fell out. According to legend, this image of St. Wolfgang returned several times on a tree stump in the forest after the pastor of Pipinsried had placed it on the altar of his church. This fact and the fact that the person who found the picture had found help with a physical ailment after being invoked caused so much attention that a wooden column was erected at the place where the picture was found. Because the rush to the holy image continued to increase, the column was replaced by a wooden chapel, which was granted permission to perform (licentia celebrandi) on October 26, 1638 . This wooden chapel was replaced in 1693 by a stone church that on July 6, 1695 ordained was. It is still in its original form today.
