Kajetan Chapel

The Kajetanskapelle is the last witness to the demise of the Kajetanshof and Königshof farms, which were merged after the Könighof avalanche disaster. The last owner of the Kajetanhof, Justina, née Fehrenbach, widow of Lorenz Schwab and previously of Paul Löffler, sold the farm, which subsequently went to a count from Alsace and then to the Grand Ducal Domain Archbishop's Office, after each of the sellers had previously cut wood. The state had the buildings demolished, with the exception of an outbuilding. The outbuilding burnt down in 1911. What remained was the chapel. The former altar, a work by Mathias Faller, was first moved to the Fernhof and finally to the chapel of the "Neuhäusle" inn, as the Kajetan chapel was used as a storage room or horse stable.

During the war, factory owner Kurt Gütermann and the later Furtwangen parish priest Stephan Blattmann met in the concentration camp. Gütermann and Blattmann vowed to restore and consecrate the chapel in Wagnerstal if they came out of the camp and the war in one piece. They fulfilled this vow and Kurz Gütermann had the chapel renovated in a dignified manner and put to its proper use. It was given a beautiful wood-carved altar with figures of the saints Hubertus, Wendelin and Margarethe, the patron saint of Mrs Gütermann, who had always enjoyed spending time in the Wagner Valley. The altar room is separated and closed off by a wrought iron grille, while the chapel room usually remains unlocked. Former fellow prisoner Stephan Blattmann, one of the town priests in Furtwangen, consecrated the chapel on 29 August 1954 with the assistance of local priest Josef Nock.
