Gehilfersberg, Mountain summit in Hesse, Germany

Gehilfersberg is a circular basalt cone 456 metres above sea level northwest of Rasdorf in the Fulda district, part of the Rhön hills. Its wooded slopes are used in the southeast as a burial forest, and the summit carries the pilgrimage chapel of St. Mary and the Fourteen Holy Helpers, surrounded by a ring of fourteen Stations of the Cross.

The Baroque chapel was built between 1623 and 1632, replacing an earlier structure that stood on the mountain. Construction took place under the rule of Johann Bernhard Schenk von Schweinsberg.

The chapel at the summit serves as an important pilgrimage destination where visitors come to honor the Fourteen Holy Helpers and the Virgin Mary. The site draws people who value its role as a spiritual gathering place in the region.

Hikers can reach the summit via marked walking paths that start from the nearby village of Rasdorf and lead upward. The trails are well-marked, making navigation straightforward for visitors of different abilities.

The chapel was destroyed by arson on 11 May 1996 and rebuilt in detail; Bishop of Fulda Johannes Dyba rededicated it on 19 May 1997. In May 2026 a person involved confessed to the crime on YouTube. The wooded southeastern slope is now used as a burial forest.
