- The Catholic prisoners at Koenigstein also enjoyed a very ornate chapel for worship services. The altar features a painting of Christ above it with a communion rail at the base of the altar. The chapel features a chandelier, an eternal flame, two statues, pews, and two large ovens for heat in the winter. Source: Backhaus, Die Kriegsgefangenen in Deutschland, Photo 185, 1915, 93.
