The chapel is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The celebration was added to the Roman calendar by Pope John XXII in 1334. “In the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit” – these are the words that mark the beginning or the end of many prayers and blessings. Trinity proclaims the threefold nature of the father, son, and holy spirit within a divine entity.
Igelschlatt is a district of Birkendorf. It is only a small hamlet. It was understandable that the inhabitants of these remote houses couldn’t walk the long route to the parish church every Sunday when bad weather and snow made it near impossible. In those cases, they prayed in their own chapel which provides kneelers for nearly 20 people.
The feast day of the Holy Trinity is the Sunday after Whitsun.
