„Schwarzbildchen“ zu Neuerburg

According to legend, Knight Kuno of Falkenstein sought protection here from his rival from Vianden. The holy Mary then showed him this hollow tree, in which he could hide. In memory of this, a 46 cm tall Madonna, a replica of the Altötting Madonna from the 17th century, stands in a 700-year-old oak tree. Age and candle soot have darkened the statue of the Madonna to a dark brown, almost black color. Station images of the seven sorrows of Mary, created by sculptor J. Hess in the 19th century, lead to this solitary pilgrimage site.
