"The veneration of Mary in its various forms is part of Catholic piety. It is impossible to imagine the life of the Church without the rosary, without the Marian month of May, without the Marian feasts and without the numerous depictions of Mary." (Julius Cardinal Döpfner, * 1913 + 1976)

St. Barbara Chapel - Eberner Käppele The tranquil and simple chapel stands on the former Bundeswehr training area. Through the efforts of the “Käppele-Baufreunde St. Barbara” the small chapel was renovated a few years ago. The small church is not only the center of returnees' pilgrimages, but also a popular excursion destination with a panoramic view of Ebern and the surrounding area. On June 14, 1959, the “Käppele” was consecrated by the city priest Wilhelm Haller. The pilgrimage to the Eberner Käppele takes place annually in mid-July. https://www.pg-ebern.de/wallfahrten/kaeppele
