A big compliment and thank you to the Ruppertszell hiking friends, they have a wonderful hiking trail that is also very well signposted, but the rest area by the chapel is also quite unique and was donated by the hiking friends, we would like to see something like this more often!

Knight Bernhard "the Preisser" originally founded a chapel on the Beinberg. Leonhard von Gumppenberg and Eucharius von Ötting expanded the chapel into a church. It was consecrated on October 7, 1500, in honor of the "Innocents." The patron saint is celebrated on the Nativity of Mary (September 8). Pilgrimages developed after 1520. A primary reason for pilgrimages to Maria Beinberg is often an unfulfilled desire to have children.

According to ancient tradition, the Aresingen church of St. Martin stood in the earliest times up in Bauerngasse, in the orchard of the "Redl," opposite the ducal chamber and landowner's farm. Historically, this seems entirely possible, even probable. For the entire great and small tithes of Bauerngasse, with the exception of the ducal fiefdoms, had always belonged to St. Martin. Down by the Weilach River, the castle of the Aresingen knights also stood at that time, and the Sunderhamers had their own village chapel, dedicated to St. Ulrich, since the 11th century. By 1300, however, the parish church had already moved down to its present location, on the old, well-fortified castle hill. Since the tower still visibly indicates Romanesque architecture, which dates back to approximately 1000 to 1250 AD, the construction of the church can also be dated to this period. The parish was large, and the pastor had to maintain an assistant priest, a "Gsell." Daughter churches were located in Rettenbach, Weilenbach, Autenzell, and St. Peter in Sattelberg. The Augsburg Cathedral Chapter had the right of presentation. Source: Information board at the site
