This Sign can be found at the doorway of the old chapel, it says:

Fuhrmannkapelle

Dieses Gebäude Ensemble umschließt die Fuhrmannskapelle,
ursprünglich ein Beinhaus/ Totenkapelle, der schmerzhaften Gottesmutter geweiht (seit 1452 erwähnt).
Die Kapelle war ab 1458 Teil einer Altarstiftung, der heiligen Anna geweiht.
Später wird sie als ”Fuhrmannskapelle” bezeichnet, Vielleicht aufgrund
von Stiftungen der Fuhrleute. Über der Kapelle befand sich ab
dem 15. Jahrhundert das Präsenzhaus für den Vikar des St.-Annen Altars.
Die späteren Fachwerkanbauten im Westen und Osten dienten als Präsenzhäuser für andere Vikarien. Im westlichen Anbau wird 1702 die Knabenschule eingerichtet.

EN (Translation):

This building ensemble encloses the Fuhrmannskapelle,
originally an ossuary/chapel of the dead, dedicated to the painful Blessed Mother (mentioned since 1452).
From 1458 the chapel was part of an altar foundation dedicated to Saint Anne.
Later it is called "Fuhrmannskapelle", perhaps because of its
of carters' foundations. Above the chapel was from
In the 15th century the presence house for the vicar of St. Anne's altar.
The later timber-framed extensions in the west and east served as military buildings for other vicaria. The boys' school was established in the western extension in 1702.
