The building is nowadays called "chapel" but in former times it was called "church". So is this the right category ? We think Yes ;-)

"These two home Researchers have found that is mentioned in the Thirty Years War and later a family Escher in the annals. There is now a big leap in time to the year 1900 when a new church was built on the "Kotzahof" which stands there today. The altar built and donated the Lieger master carpenter Hermann Kluwig, his wife, nee Nick, came from Gotteshäuserhof. He escaped from French captivity and vowed at a safe return of the altar in the chapel to build. His vow he held a course. Consecrated it is the Holy Family and indeed with the following text, which is found at the entrance of the chapel: "Built to honor Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Allen, who perform a reverent prayer here and pray for a dying person, a happy hour of death. "
The bells came from a half-sister of Johann Gilles, the great-grandfather of Franziska Gilles, whose father also was called Johann. The standing on the right side of the tower basalt cross was stationed until about 25 years ago, right at the entrance, also of said Johann Gilles."
