Maria Ablass Kapelle, Religious chapel in Altstadt-Nord, Germany.
The Maria Ablass Kapelle features a Renaissance portal from 1687 and gothic windows within a slate-roofed structure with white exterior plaster walls.
The chapel emerged from a 1431 extension built to protect a Marian fresco on the outer wall of the original church, receiving its first mention in 1528.
The chapel now serves the Russian Orthodox community of Cologne, with interior adaptations following Orthodox religious traditions and maintaining historical epitaphs.
Located on Maria-Ablass-Platz in central Cologne, the chapel stands between 1950s buildings and remains under the ownership of St. Ursula parish.
The building preserves a medieval legend about Knight Bruno von Mauenheim, who attached his foot shackles next to the Virgin Mary image after escaping imprisonment.
