Magdalenenkapelle, Historic chapel in Straßenheim, Mannheim, Germany.

The Magdalenenkapelle stands as a small rectangular church building with a distinctive baroque interior that can accommodate approximately fifty worshippers under its traditional walmdach roof structure.

First documented in 1408 through a foundation letter by the noble Metze von Neipperg family, this chapel was elevated to parish church status and survived the Thirty Years' War despite periods of abandonment.

The chapel is dedicated to Mary Magdalene, to whom it was re-consecrated in 1750 by the Worms auxiliary bishop von Merle. Its name and dedication recall her; the baroque furnishings of the 50-seat interior date from the mid-18th-century renovation. The surrounding churchyard, laid out in the 17th century, is one of the oldest in Mannheim, with original walls on the east and north sides.

The chapel stands in the small centre of Straßenheim, a district of Mannheim, and is cared for by the Christ-König parish in Wallstadt, which has been responsible since 1913. The interior holds about 50 people, so it is small; the churchyard around it, laid out in the 17th century, is one of Mannheim's oldest. The chapel was renovated from 2019 to 2021.

The bell in the roof turret was donated in 1765, replacing the slender Gothic turret that stood until 1816, when the present massive turret was built. Inside, the marbled wooden altar hides an older altar of roughly hewn sandstone.
