As a young seminarian, German-born Father Paul Matthias Dobberstein became critically ill with pneumonia, at a time when penicillin had yet to be invented. As he fought for his life he prayed to the Blessed Virgin Mary to intercede for him for the grace of health. He promised to build a shrine in her honor of he lived.

He recovered, Dobberstein completed his studies at the Seminary of St. Francis near Milwaukee, and after his ordination he came to West Bend as Pastor in 1898. For over a decade he was stockpiling rocks and precious stones, and secured the parcel of land. The actual work of began to take shape in 1912, without the aid of any blueprints.

Dobberstein had an invaluable coworker at the Grotto. Matt Szerensce, whom Dobberstein referred to occasionally as "my good right hand" began working with the priest as a young man, since the laying of the first stone. Graduating from high school in 1912, Szerensce signed on as full-time grotto collaborator, a career move ultimately resulting in fifty-two years of intense labor.

There are almost a hundred carloads of rocks and stones, the vast bulk of which had to be processed, stored, classified and handled many times before it found it's final and proper place in the harmonious structure. Winters were often spent making the rosettes of crystals that would be added to the grotto in the warmer months. The entire panoramic beauty is made of 9 grottos or scenes from the life of Christ, creating the story of redemption.

Until 1947, all of the work was done by hand. Finally, the urging of Father Greving to get an electrical hoist to lift the rocks, cement, steel, and stones was heeded. No accounting was made either of the many man-hours of labor involved in building the Grotto or the money expended in gathering the stones and shaping them into a harmonious unit.

Stensättning på berget vid Klubbvägen i Västra Frölunda i Göteborg 2016 by biketommy999

Ett fornminne med beteckningen Västra Frölunda 34:1. Denna

stensättning är rund och 12 m stor. Formen är röseliknande.

Den har också samma karakteristiska krönläge som rösena.

Mitt i finns en grop som troligen är spår efter plundring. På flera ställen syns delar av en kantkedja.

Rösen och stensättningar av denna typ är byggda över stenkistor avsedda för skelett- eller brandbegravning av en individ. Flertalet uppfördes under bronsåldern (1500 - 500 f Kr). Då var havsnivån 10 m högre än nu och hela dalen i söder ända in till nuvarande Mölndal var en segelbar inre vattenled.

Här kan man se när jag går runt stensättningen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-vk9LFf9FM

-----------------------------------

A monument with the designation Vastra Frolunda 34 1. This

stone circle is round and 12 meters high. The shape is similar cairn. It also has the same characteristic crown position as the cairns. In the midst of a pit which probably traces of looting. In several places there are visible parts of an edge chain.

Cairns and stone circles of this type is built of stone coffins

intended for bone or fire burial of an individual. Most of tthem was built during the Bronze Age (1500 - 500 BC). The sea level was 10 m higher than now, and the whole valley in the south right up to the present Mölndal was a navigable inland waterway.

Here you can see when I walk around the stone circle: www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-vk9LFf9FM
