Jakobuskapelle auf dem Bergle, Pilgrimage chapel in Gengenbach, Germany

Jakobuskapelle auf dem Bergle is a single-nave chapel with a flat ceiling, a three-bay hall and a 5/8 choir closed to the east, built in 1681 above Gengenbach. Its white plastered walls and red tiled roof sit on a grassy slope above a vineyard; a square tower with a pointed grey spire and cross rises on the left. The interior has pale walls outlined in salmon pink, a rounded chancel arch, a wooden plank ceiling and a white altar with a floral-patterned front.

The chapel was built in 1681 on the site of an early-historical cult place. It served as a station for pilgrims on the Way of St. James. The external pulpit on the north side dates from 1747. The building is listed as a monument by the Baden-Württemberg State Office for Monument Preservation.

The chapel is dedicated to the Apostle James the Elder and served as a station for pilgrims on the Way of St. James. Inside, the baroque altarpiece holds a Pietà from the end of the 14th century, and a painting of the Three Magi came from Gengenbach Monastery. Statues of James, Apollinaris, Anna selbdritt and Joseph of Nazareth from Anton Joseph Schupp's workshop survive from the 17th-century furnishings.

The route to the chapel starts from Gengenbach's old town and climbs steadily via marked trails with clear signage throughout. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the ascent is steep and the paths are naturally surfaced.

The chapel's exterior pulpit on the north side dates from 1747, a wooden structure rather than a stone one. It let preachers address pilgrims gathered on the slope outside during the Way of St. James pilgrimage.
