Birgelener Pützchen, Marian pilgrimage chapel in Wassenberg, Germany
The chapel stands on the eastern slope of the Rur Valley, featuring an octagonal main room added in 1933 to the smaller structure from 1863.
According to records, Saint Lambertus performed baptisms at the Willibrordus spring near the site, which dates back to the seventh century.
The chapel holds the Pützchen Sunday celebration on the first Sunday of May since 1928, bringing together numerous members of the local community.
The Kapellenverein Birgelener Pützchen association maintains the chapel and organizes events, with contact possibilities through phone numbers and email communication.
The spring water contains silicon dioxide and has been traditionally used by locals for treating eye conditions through the centuries.
