Berchtesgaden - St. Bartholomae

Standing behind the captain of the electric vessel. We are approaching the St. Bartholomae chapel , on the shore of the Lake Koenigsee. This place was a center of pilgrimage since the 12th century. To go to St. Bartolomae was a kind of pilgrimage for me as well. My grandmother owned a handcoloured postcard of this chapel - and often showed it to me. The postcard was stored in a small box, where as well a handkerchief from the "Oberammergau Passion Play", a dried, very flat Edelweiss and a small silver brooch were kept. Real treasures.
