In German: "This chapel was built to the honour of God and out of special love for St. Anne in 1719." Further Latin inscription inside: "D. O. M. S. et S. Annae Perillustris et generosus D. Hermannus Ludovicus ab Asseburg Capitaneus et D. in Hindenburg cum intima uxore D. Odl. El. ab Haxthausen ex Welda sacellum hoc aedificare post obitum ad implendum dicti D. votum relicta eius D.
