Mühlenkapelle Haslach 1622 aufgrund eines Versprechens nach der Pest erbaut Im einstigen Gewann „Aue“ am östlichen Ausgang der Stadt Haslach steht seit der ersten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts eine Kapelle. Ursprünglich hieß sie „Aue- Kapelle“. Nach der benachbarten Mühle benannt heißt sie schon seit langer Zeit „Mühlenkapelle“. Die 1622 erbaute Kapelle geht zurück auf die Initiative des Haslacher Oberamtmannes Simon Finkh (1580 - 1648). War sie zu Beginn des 30jährigen Krieges zunächst noch sehr klein und bescheiden, so erfuhr sie 1652 eine Erweiterung. Anlass war das Gelöbnis der Ehefrau Margaretha Dorothea Finkh, geb. Gebele (1600 - 1663) und ihres Bruders, des Landschaffners Jakob Gebele (1601 - 1675) beim Ausbruch der Pest 1635. Dieses konnte aber erst Jahre nach dem großen Krieg eingelöst werden. Aufgrund unruhiger Zeiten konnte die Kapelle erst im Jahre 1661 von Weihbischof Gabriel Haug aus Straßburg geweiht werden. Sie erhielt bei der Weihe den Titel der „Unbefleckten Empfängnis Mariens“ (8. Dezember) und als weiteres Patronat den Heiligen Johannes Nepomuk. Die Vorderseite der Kapelle schmückt ein Bild des bekannten Brückenheiligen, der 1729 durch Papst Benedikt XIII. heilig gesprochen wurde. Eine weitere Darstellung ist im Inneren der Kapelle zusammen mit der des hl. Franz Xaver zu bewundern. Letzter wird schon im 17. Jahrhundert als Patron einer Männerbruderschaft erwähnt, die seinen Namen trug. Nach den Aufzeichnungen der Agenda (Arbeitsbuch) des Haslacher Klosters vom Jahre 1753 betreuten die Kapuziner die Mühlenkapelle. Zweimal in der Woche feierten sie dort die heilige Messe. Die von ihnen geleitete Franz-Xaverius-Bruderschaft hielt dort ihre Andachten und Versammlungen ab. Laut Visitationsbericht über die Pfarreien des Landkapitels Lahr aus dem Jahre 1666 hatte die Mühlenkapelle drei Altäre. Nach Instandsetzungsarbeiten im 19. Jahrhundert blieb leider nur der Hochaltar übrig. Wegen des ständig zunehmenden Straßenverkehrs wurde die Mühlenkapelle 1974 abgebrochen. Fünfzehn Jahre später konnte sie an fast gleicher Stelle in der bisherigen Größe wieder aufgebaut werden. Im Brauchtum der Haslacher Bevölkerung spielt die Mühlenkapelle eine wichtige Rolle am Fest Petri Stuhlfeier (22. Februar), dem traditionellen Storchentag. Hier beginnt nach dem Gebet des „Engel des Herrn“ der Umzug der Kinder durch die Stadt. Quelle: https://info.haslach.de/attraktionen/muehlenkapelle-haslach-d6b9980b80

Tradition and customs Black Forest Costume Museum The Black Forest Costume Museum, located in the "Alten Kapuzinerkloster" (Old Capuchin Monastery), offers an excellent insight into the development of Black Forest costumes. Influenced by the spirit of the age and fashion trends, by prosperity, poverty, and confessional ties, the individual costumes of the Black Forest become clearly apparent in the 18th century. The Costume Museum displays over 100 original Black Forest costumes in large display cases, presented realistically and in life-size, supplemented by artfully crafted individual pieces and objects from rural life. A special feature is also the museum's surroundings. The Old Capuchin Monastery, which houses this important costume collection, is the only perfectly preserved Baroque monastery complex of the Capuchin Order in the entire southern German region. The Costume Museum is accessible by elevator and is therefore also easily manageable for people with walking difficulties or those using a walker and wheelchair.

The Monastery Church St. Christopher History and building regulations The foundation stone for the Haslach monastery was laid in November 1630 – in the midst of the Thirty Years' War – by Count Friedrich Rudolph von Fürstenberg, thus putting into action the plan of his deceased father Christoph II. The master builder of the monastery complex was a Capuchin from the canton of Bern in Switzerland. He implemented what the Capuchin building regulations demanded, namely that such a monastery should reflect the poverty of the order, both internally and externally. The furnishings of the monastery church, consecrated only in 1661, correspond to these building regulations, with the exception of the altars; a simple wooden ceiling, no organ loft, and hardly any pictures or figures on the walls, with the exception of the Stations of the Cross. The Capuchins, along with the Franciscans, were particularly keen promoters of the Stations of the Cross tradition (see section "Stations of the Cross"). Furnishings and special features of the church The altars currently in the church were the work of a monastic brother named Adam from Gündelwangen in the Black Forest, who lived in the Haslach monastery. Around 1752, he was commissioned as a carpenter to create "initially" a tabernacle with four relic panels. With his work, he must have proven himself capable of providing replacements for the altars that had become "worm-eaten," and the result is evident in the church space. Of particular importance is the high altar painting by the Prague court painter Mathäus Gundelach from 1614, commissioned at the time by Count Christoph II. von Fürstenberg. In the late Renaissance style, it depicts the Coronation of Mary in heaven and, below, surrounded by a large host of saints, the Count himself, the founder of the monastery, in a kneeling, praying posture. In memory of the founder Christoph, the holy martyr Christopher became the patron saint of the monastery and monastery church; he is depicted on the left of the high altar painting as the giant carrying the Christ child on his shoulder. In connection with Saint Christopher as the patron saint of the monastery and monastery church, the custom of blessing vehicles should be mentioned, which takes place annually around the saint's name day (July 24) in the monastery square. The early Christian martyr, who belongs to the group of the 14 Holy Helpers, is also the patron saint of travelers and drivers. ......
