The chapel of the Saline Traunstein St. Rupert and St. Maximilian (also Aukirche) is a Roman Catholic chapel on Karl-Theodor-Platz in der Au in Traunstein. It was built in 1630/31 by the master mason "Wolf" (Wolfgang) König, who lived in Traunstein, according to the plans of the master mason Isaak Bader.

The chapel was the spiritual center of Au. The local master builder Wolf König built it in 1630/31 according to plans by the significant Munich court master builder Isaak Bader. Only in 1671, 40 years after its completion, the Salinenkapelle – the most important sacred building in the city of Traunstein – was consecrated to the salt saint Rupert and the namesake patron Duke Maximilian (from 1623 Elector), the founder of the saltworks.

41 years passed from the laying of the foundation stone in 1630 to the consecration. The result is impressive.
