Hubertuskapelle, Architectural heritage chapel in Ebersberger Forst, Germany.
The Hubertuskapelle is a small house of worship in Ebersberger Forest between Ebersberg and Schwaberwegen in Upper Bavaria. The building features a red shingled roof and delicate tower, while its interior displays a red marble altar, gothic pointed arches, and an iron grille separating the altar space from the entrance.
The structure was built in 1859 by forest warden Kühner, though records show a predecessor building existed as early as 1783. This continuity spans more than two centuries of religious presence at this forest site.
The chapel is dedicated to Saint Hubert, the patron saint of hunters, and draws people connected to the forest and hunting traditions. Its name and religious purpose reflect the deep bond between the woodland and those who depend on it.
The chapel sits directly along State Road 2080 and is easily visible from the street. Wooden barriers installed in winter help protect the small structure from traffic and road spray.
Local folklore speaks of the White Lady of Ebersberg Forest, a figure said to appear to drivers near the chapel. This tale has inspired various television productions and films over the years.
