We report a partial-wave analysis of new data on the double-polarization variable $E$ for the reactions $gamma pto pi^+ n$ and $gamma pto pi^0 p$ and of further data published earlier. The analysis within the Bonn-Gatchina (BnGa) formalism reveals evidence for a poorly known baryon resonance, the one-star $Delta(2200)7/2^-$. This is the lowest-mass $Delta^*$ resonance with spin-parity $J^P=7/2^-$. Its mass is significantly higher than the mass of its parity partner $Delta(1950)7/2^+$ which is the lowest-mass $Delta^*$ resonance with spin-parity $J^P=7/2^+$. It has been suggested that chiral symmetry might be restored in the high-mass region of hadron excitations, and that these two resonances should be degenerate in mass. Our findings are in conflict with this prediction.
