Saint Hubertus, to whom the chapel in Todenfeld is consecrated, lived from 655 to 727 and is a very popular saint, best known as the patron saint of hunters. A deer with a glowing cross between the antlers is said to have appeared to him, which is often shown on Hubertus portraits. This legend was originally attributed to Saint Eustachius and over time it 'wandered' to Hubertus. His feast day in the saints calendar is November 3rd.

The current chapel dates from 1899 and, like the previous chapel, is consecrated to St. Hubertus.

In the high altar of the chapel there is a precious reliquary and to the right and left of the choir there are two figures from the 15th century (St. Apollonia and St. Hubertus). These are from the first chapel that stood in Todenfeld before the 15th century.
