Acccording to the legend, the German emperor Ludwig the Holy (778-840), son of Charlemagne, lost his beloved reliquary cross during hunting and vowed to establish a chapel on the place it would be found. His servants found the cross hanging on the branches of a wild rose and Ludwig hat the chapel built there so that the altar was near the rose (see http://www.welt-der-rosen.de/rosenwelt/tausendjaehriger_rosenstrauch.html)
