The church of St. Emmeram is part of a fortified church complex dating back to the Middle Ages, which stands on a historic sunken road and is connected to the rectory to the north by an arched bridge. The place name Köblitz shows a continuity of settlement back to the Slavic period of the 7th and 8th centuries. The two church patronages of St. Emmeram and St. John the Baptist suggest that a baptismal church was built upstream on the Naab by the Regensburg Emmeram monks who had a mission station in Perschen near Nabburg to convert the pagan Slavs living around them. A small mission station or early chapel is likely to have developed on the basis of this baptismal church. These early mission stations also had a property-stabilizing function, as the diocesan boundaries were still disputed in the 8th/9th centuries. The Köblitz chapel belonged to the parish of Luhe. The oldest part of the church, the middle part of the nave, probably dates back to the time when the parish was founded. The church was extended twice. The first extension to the west by "three pillars" (around 6-8 meters) took place in 1597-1600 and is connected to the Counter-Reformation of Landgrave Georg Ludwig von Leuchtenberg. This extension was followed by the cemetery extension in 1600 and the new rectory in 1603. The second extension to the east took place in 1750 after the tower had become dilapidated in 1749. The church was extended to the east by almost five meters and the tower was raised by four meters. The striking tower roof was built by the Wernberg master carpenter Schaller. The choir tower has a four-axis nave extension and a west gallery. Ceiling paintings in the nave and choir show the glorification of Saint Emmeram, and are marked "J. G. Merz in Nein" (Neunburg vorm Wald, 1750) and were partially damaged by restorations. (Source: Wikipedia)

Wonderful landscape, here is a place of peace and relaxation

Banneux Chapel, Schilternbach Sixty years ago, the small Chapel of the Virgin Mary was built east of Wernberg – tucked away between forest and meadows at the confluence of the Kötschdorfer Bach and Schilterbach streams. It was sometimes called "Madonna im Wiesengrund" or "Maria im Firn" (Our Lady of the Meadows) or "Mary in the Pine Trees." The open, circular structure is dedicated to Our Lady of Banneux. During the Rosary Service on October 27, 1955, hundreds of believers marched in a candlelight procession with the statue of the Virgin Mary from the parish church of St. Anna to the newly built chapel on the Schilterbach stream to dedicate it to the Blessed Virgin of the Poor and Sick. The chapel was donated by Sophie Breu. Sophie Breu, director of the Schlenz sanatorium St. Michael, was a great admirer of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Banneux in Belgium. According to the report, Joan Jacob, the pastor of Banneux, where Our Lady is said to have appeared eight times to twelve-year-old Mariette Beco between January 15 and March 2, 1933, traveled specifically for the consecration and brought the statue with him. For many years, the Wernberg Chapel on the Schilterbach stream was a frequent meeting place for May devotions, October rosaries, and supplication processions. The construction of several chapels and the emergence of Marian veneration sites can be traced back to the initiative of Sister Sophie Breu. She ran the well-known Schlenz sanatorium in Wernberg. The many letters of thanks from her patients, which still exist today, testify to her many successful healings. The advertising slogan was "Operation without knife and blood." Sophie Breu, a native of Wernberg, joined the Order of the Sisters of Mercy in 1928 after training as a nurse and nurse. She learned the methods of medicinal herbal and hyperthermic baths from Maria Schlenz. From humble beginnings, she began her own business in 1937 and worked with perseverance and tenacity toward her life's goal of helping the sick with this method. The chapel is owned by the Regensburg Episcopal Administration. Source: Excerpts from www.onetz.de/deutschland-und-die-welt-r/lokales/zur-madonna-im-wiesengrund-d1014170.html
