    The Chapel of the Painful Mother, usually simply called Marienkapelle, is a late Gothic pilgrimage chapel.
    Finally, in 1514, today's late Gothic chapel was consecrated, about which Hermann von Weinsberg reported in 1553 that many people in Cologne had visited it during the plague and asked for help there.


    The chapel is a single-nave, ribbed-vaulted brick building with a three-sided chancel, double stepped buttresses and a six-sided slated ridge turret. It has a small late-Gothic image of Vespers from the beginning of the 16th century in a carved altarpiece from around 1700.

    The chapel, affectionately called "Kapellche", plays an important role in the history of Hitdorf. According to tradition, it was built to thank the Rhine for washing up a previously stolen Antonius figure – a total of three times. The people of Hitdorf saw this as a sign from God and built the chapel. It has been a listed building since July 19, 1984.
