Stummsche Kapelle

The Stummsche Kapelle exhibits neo-Gothic architecture with a ribbed vault interior, pointed arch portal, and sandstone gable rider on its entrance facade.

Built between 1852 and 1854 by architect Mathias Mußweiler, the chapel endured severe damage during World War II and an explosion in 1933.

The chapel stands as the first neo-Gothic building in Saarland, marking the introduction of historicism in regional architecture.

Located on a hill above Lindenallee near Neunkirchen main station, the chapel forms part of the Industriewanderweg Neunkircher Hüttenweg trail.

The chapel features four original cast-iron finials produced by Neunkirchen ironworks, though only two survived the wartime destruction.

Architectural style: Romanesque Revival architecture
