Maria Magdalena Merten, born in Düppenweiler in 1883, was beatified by Pope John Paul II in Rome on 1 November 1987.
Her home parish of Düppenweiler has dedicated a chapel in her honour in the parish church of St. Leodegar, where visitors can quietly meditate on important quotes from her and pray to her. There is also a bone relic of her here. In front of the church there is also a work of art (2010) depicting Blessed Sister Blandine Merten as the support of a ladder to heaven. The sculpture was created by local artist Margret Lafontaine. Blessed Blandine Merten is also depicted on the miner's pyramid at the copper mine.
