Kapelle Schwarze Madonna, Religious chapel in Remagen, Germany.

The Kapelle Schwarze Madonna features a grid-enclosed Madonna statue and memorial panels within an open architectural structure topped by a crown of thorns design.

The chapel was constructed in 1987 on the site of a former Allied prisoner-of-war camp, where over 250,000 German soldiers were held after World War II.

The Black Madonna statue inside the chapel was crafted from clay by Professor Adolf Wamper during his time as a prisoner in the camp.

Located along the Rhine River south of Remagen's city center, the chapel serves as both a memorial site and a place for religious gatherings.

The chapel's design allows wind and rain to pass through its structure, reflecting the conditions prisoners experienced in the spring of 1945.
