Can a chapel have two names? The St. Wendelinus-/Bruder-Klaus-Kapelle in Stuttgart certainly does. This quaint chapel, nestled on what was once the outskirts of Hofen, has a fascinating history. It stands along the old road to Cannstatt, now known as Wagrainstraße. The St. Wendelinus-/Bruder-Klaus-Kapelle was built thanks to Pfarrer Jakob Mader. He consecrated it on September 10, 1765. A Hofen citizen, Peter Mayer, a guard at the court of Duke Carl Eugen, left a legacy of 220 guilders for the chapel’s construction. Sadly, he passed away on February 14, 1762, before seeing his contribution come to fruition. In 1886, the St. Wendelinus-/Bruder-Klaus-Kapelle underwent renovations. It received a charming little tower complete with a bell. Following the canonization of Nicholas of Flüe, also known as Bruder Klaus, his image found a home within the chapel. After the Second World War, grateful returnees bestowed upon the chapel its second name: Bruder Klaus. For many years, the rosary was regularly prayed within the St. Wendelinus-/Bruder-Klaus-Kapelle. Mass was also celebrated from time to time. This small chapel holds a significant place in the hearts of the locals, a testament to faith and resilience.
