Companion of an ancient trade route - a photo on Flickriver

            The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (German: Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by brothers J. B. and Dominikus Zimmermann, the latter of whom lived nearby for the last eleven years of his life. It is located in the foothills of the Alps, in the municipality of Steingaden in the Weilheim-Schongau district, Bavaria, Germany.

This is NOT this famous church, but the Wieskapelle (chapel) near Alteglofsheim/Regensburg. It was built 1748 and was located directly close to the famous route connecting Regensburg and Salzburg used to trade salt. 

It contains a so called Third-Class Relic: These are any object that has been in contact with a first- or second-class relic. Most third-class relics are small pieces of cloth, though in the first millennium oil was popular; the Monza ampullae contained oil collected from lamps burning before the major sites of Christ's life, and some reliquaries had holes for oil to be poured in and out again. Many people call the cloth touched to the bones of saints "ex brandea". But ex brandea strictly refers to pieces of clothing that were touched to the body or tombs of the apostles. It is a term that is used only for such; it is not a synonym for a third-class relic.

In the Upper Palatinate, I know at least a further Wieskirche which is located near Moosbach.
