The Killer James Brotherhood was first mentioned in 1510. It was founded in 1489 at the latest by the then pastor Kill Ermer Kaspar Schuler and placed undoubtedly one of prayer and remembrance of the dead Brotherhood, but also took care of the needs of migrating through the town pilgrims.
These pilgrims and pilgrims called, had still a long way to go. Their destination was Santiago de Compostela, located in the far northwest of Spain. Legend has it that St. James the Elder, one of the apostles of Jesus, there are begrben. The last traces of the action of James Brotherhood killer can still be up to the beginning of the 20th Century find.
In the Church Mater Dolorosa in Killer above the rows of seats an unusual statue of James is appropriate. Their emergence can be dated back to the period before 1500. Unusually it is a slot in the knees of the figure, by the visitors were able to keep the church in the local James Brotherhood make a donation.
pilgrims has for some years again become fashionable. It arose and arise in addition to traditional and new itineraries. All roads have but the goal Santiago de Compostela. Here with us are known by Wolfgang Meyer in his book "Way of St James in southern Germany.
This led renaissance of the pilgrimage in 2004 to "revitalize" the James Brotherhood killer. Currently, the Brotherhood has approximately 50 members and is open to anyone interested. It sees itself as a cross-community Community of women and men serving the Christian community.
your current focus should primarily include a pilgrimage to all interested or want to pilgrims traveling by killer with words and deeds, whether in person, by phone or e-mail. It offers a simple accommodation in Killer, it organizes hikes on other trails and maintains the Jacob Hohenzollerischen other pilgrimage Rangendingen to Sigmaringen.
