In 1741, Johann Peter Buchler founded the Mater Dolorosa on the Grünbach (Christ on the Cross with Pietà). The sculptor was Anton Grimbach from Bühlertann near Ellwangen.

A bridge typical for the area with bridge saints. Here we find as many as four: Kilian, the patron saint of the Franks, Nepomuk, who is almost unavoidable on Tauber bridges, Burkhard, the first bishop of Würzburg, and Michael, because it can certainly be an (arch)angel too. The bridge leads near Gerlachsheim over the Grünbach, which comes from Grünsfeld and flows into the Tauber not far from there.

The chapel dates from the 15th century. It originally served to support pilgrims to St. Wolfgang. They made their pilgrimage to St. Wolfgang am Wolfgangsee. Today, the cemetery of the village Distelhausen is located at the chapel. The cemetery features a Way of the Cross by Friedrich Buscher.
