In 1907, Ludwig Fischer donated a figure of St. Joseph, which was attached to a tree at Josefsflecken on the way to Pürschling.
The Unterammergau sculptor Josef Erhart initiated the construction of a chapel for this figure in 1987.
The baroque-style, octagonal chapel at approx. 1.200 m was completed in 1991.
It serves as a memorial for those who died in the mountains.
A memorial mass is held for her every October.
