High on a saddle between Kleiner Rosskopf and Rosskopf sits the Sankt Wendelin Kapelle. It’s a peaceful spot, overlooking the Musbach Valley. The Sankt Wendelin Kapelle isn’t ancient. It was built in 1895. But its story begins much earlier, in 1713, with a simple wooden chapel erected by Capuchin monks. This original structure eventually decayed, leaving only a shrine in its place. The current Sankt Wendelin Kapelle arose from the initiative of Father Josef Hummel. He rallied the community of Ebnet, securing support to build the stone chapel we see today. It was consecrated in 1895 by the same priest who built Johanniskirche in Freiburg-Wiehre. The Sankt Wendelin Kapelle has seen its share of renovations. In 1958, vibrant frescoes depicting the legend of St. Wendelin were added. Another round of renovations took place in 1985, ensuring the chapel’s continued presence on the hillside. St. Wendelin himself is a fascinating figure. He was a king’s son who chose a humble life as a shepherd and hermit. He became the patron saint of fields, livestock, and even a protector against the plague. During the Baroque period, his popularity soared, making him one of the most important folk saints. Each year, on the Sunday closest to October 21st, the parish of St. Hilarius holds a special service at the Sankt Wendelin Kapelle. It’s a testament to the enduring legacy of this quiet chapel, nestled in the hills above Freiburg.
