Restoration of chapel's roof and walls: Calvary chapel reconstruction in Allgäu region near Cheangen
The Calvary Chapel in the town of Wangen, Baden-Württemberg, is set to undergo a significant renovation, thanks to a 15,000 euro grant from the Baden-Württemberg Monument Foundation. The chapel, which has been a cultural monument and a testament to rural popular piety since 1919, requires renovation work on its roofs, walls, and floors.
The chapel, originally a wooden structure built in 1709, underwent a transformation in 1824 when it was replaced with a stone building due to instability. The current choir was built during this period, while the nave with bell tower was added in 1923, with the original chapel serving as a choir room.
The chapel has been in private ownership for generations, with the current owner family maintaining it for three generations. Their commitment to preserving the chapel has been recognised by Stefan Köhler, the honorary managing director of the Baden-Württemberg Monument Foundation.
The foundation's support is for the renovation work on the chapel. Stefan Köhler also stated that the chapel has a significant impact on the town's skyline, making it a landmark in its district.

While there is no detailed publicly available information specifically about the Calvary Chapel in Baden-Württemberg, the region is home to historically important Benedictine abbeys and chapels dating back to the 8th century. These religious heritage sites, such as the ruins of Hirsau Abbey, have significant historical, cultural, and scholarly importance.
However, the Calvary Chapel in Wangen, being a modern evangelical Protestant movement, is unrelated historically to these older monastic sites. There are no clear records linking a privately owned Calvary Chapel of notable cultural significance in Baden-Württemberg.
If you seek detailed information about a specific Calvary Chapel in the region, you may need to consult local church records or heritage offices directly.
