Eremitage Maria Reizenborn

The Eremitage Maria Reizenborn, or Räzebore, is a former hermitage in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany (Hunsrück mountain range). The Hermitage is located on a pilgrimage route of Simmern nearby Spabrücken, which crosses the Soonwald back. This place was chosen by the Monks in the Middle Ages due to the beneficial effect of its legend, because it is where Maria Reizenborn was born, in Hunsrücker Platt Räzebore. It served the pilgrims, as well as the hunters, in the 17th century as a rest stop. A sanctuary built by the Celts in pre-Christian times, in the year 1000, has been found in the Evangelical Church in Riesweiler, walled in by stone figures, which are still visible.
