Brunnenweible Fountain, Waibstadt

Highlight • Monument

Waibstadt has about 5,700 inhabitants and is about 8 km from Sinsheim.
The small town is not exactly one of the tourist highlights in the region, but with the neo-Gothic Catholic parish church "Our Lady"
from 1868, the tallest church building in the Kraichgau.
On the market square in front of the town hall is the city's landmark, the "Brunnenweible", a fountain figure reconstructed after the Second World War, which according to legend was donated by a German emperor in the 12th century as thanks for a successful hiding place in Waibstadt.

Mühlberg Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The tabernacle-like, baroque "Mühlberg Chapel" made of sandstone has stood on the Mühlberg outside the former city wall since 1745. In 1912, the three sides of the originally open chapel were walled up. Inside is the miraculous image of the Schoenstatt Madonna. Until the 1950s, there was a painting of the Mount of Olives inside. The chapel was intended to be part of a Stations of the Cross that was never completed. It is probably the successor building to the former St. Sebastian Chapel.

The chapel is maintained privately.
