The little chapel in Klotten shows Maximinus with the bear tamed by his word. He is also the saint to which people turn to pray to avoid torrential rains: events that would destroy crops and houses, but also would trigger floods in the Mosel. Amazing his chapel in Klotten is situated in what is the flood plain of the Mosel River. The high-water marks on the chapel show the water levels of the floods of 1920, 1924, 1925, 1955 and 1993 – inundating the building. Saint Maximinus stands there unphased as if ready anytime to defy such destructive events.
