    The former Werner chapel is a Gothic sacred building. In 2008 it was renamed the Mother Rosa Chapel after Maria Flesch.

    Around 1300, the citizens of Oberwesel built a Holy Spirit Hospital with a church as a civic foundation near the city wall on the Rhine side.

    When the city was devastated by the troops of Louis XIV in the War of the Palatinate Succession in 1689, both the hospital and the church were destroyed. Around 1700, only the choir was rebuilt as a chapel. In keeping with the stylistic sensibilities of the time, it was given a Baroque roof. The choir of the chapel is built on top of the city wall.

    Today's Mother Rosa Chapel (formerly Werner Chapel) is the rebuilt chancel of the former church of the Holy Spirit Hospital, destroyed in 1689. The chancel of the chapel is built on the city wall and, in keeping with the style of the time, was given a Baroque roof. The original church dates back to the 13th century.

    How large the hospital and church originally were is no longer known due to the extensive development.

    Today, the Loreley Clinics and the nursing home stand there.
