history
The first chapel at the location of today's Wendelinus Chapel at a crossroads between Stangenroth and Premich was built in the 17th century. Due to the dilapidation of the first chapel, Johann Michael Hartmann (1880–1962) and Josef Andreas Kirchner built a new building with a few helpers in 1927. The Wendelinus Chapel, also known as the "Platten-Heiligen-Häusle", received its present form through renovation work from 1974 to 1977. Theodor Hartmann (1907–1998), his son Werner (1933–2019) and his grandsons carried out the renovation work. The chapel has been preserved by the Hartmann family to this day.
