Maria Frieden Chapel Pfaffenberg

Highlight • Religious Site

Maria Frieden near Zell-Pfaffenberg was dedicated to peace after the war. The chapel is also a thank you to the Allies. Even schoolchildren dragged bricks up the mountain in July 1945. The chapel's history is no less exciting: the Second World War was just over when the parish priest Eugen Thoma developed the idea of building a chapel - on the one hand out of gratitude that the Wiesental was largely spared from destruction when the Allies liberated it was, on the other hand, as a memorial to preserve peace. The chapel was to be consecrated to Mary, the "Queen of Peace" and named after her. The plans for the construction of the chapel came from the artist and self-taught Hans Franke, who lived in Freiburg after his expulsion from Silesia. After only one year of construction, the opening was celebrated with a theater performance. True crowds from all over the valley had made the pilgrimage to Pfaffenberg. The impressive altarpiece, which was made in 1945/46, also comes from this artist. It shows the Mother of God with the baby Jesus on her lap in magnificent robes in an idealized landscape with a rainbow that stretches far beyond the Wiesental and the Hohe Möhr. An information panel behind the altar by Maria Frieden says that Hans Franke composed a song on the occasion of the inauguration. The song "Madonna over the Wiesental" 2021 celebrates the 75th anniversary of the chapel.
