DE: Die Schwarze Madonna von Remagen, die der Bildhauer Adolf Wamper im Frühjahr 1945 während seiner Gefangenschaft im Kriegsgefangenenlager "Goldene Meile" aus Lehm schuf, wird heute in der Katholischen Pfarrkirche "St. Johannes Nepomuk" Kripp ausgestellt. Eine Kopie steht in der Friedenskapelle "Schwarze Madonna" Remagen.
Am 9. Oktober 1987 wurde die Friedenskapelle "Schwarze Madonna" Remagen in Anwesenheit zahlreicher ehemaliger Lagerinsassen eingesegnet. Vier einstige Lager-Insassen trugen bei der Einweihungsfeier die Kopie der Schwarzen Madonna auf ihren Schultern zu ihrem Bestimmungsort in der Kapelle, wo sie seitdem steht.
