Engerode was founded in the 8th or 9th century. The first mention of it can be found in a document from 1234. There is a pilgrimage church in the village. It was built by the knight Thietmar von Oddincrodhe as a chapel for a small Marian monastery on his estate.

A miraculous image of the Virgin Mary - presumably a pillar - made the chapel famous far beyond the borders of the village and turned it into a much-visited place of pilgrimage.

The statue of the Holy Mother of God made St. Mary's a pilgrimage church in the first place. However, anyone looking for it today will be disappointed. She has disappeared without a trace. The city's Medienzentrum goes in search of clues in this film.
