Mariensäule, Monument on Pulsberg hill in Trier, Germany
The Mariensäule stands 40.9 meters tall on the left side of the Moselle Valley at an elevation of 296 meters, featuring a statue of Mary in prayer.
The construction of this monument began in 1859 and Bishop Leopold Pelldram conducted its dedication ceremony on October 8, 1866.
The monument represents the Catholic response to Protestant presence in Trier, following Pope Pius IX's 1854 proclamation of the Immaculate Conception dogma.
Visitors can reach the monument by bus or car to the nearby parking lot, with the final portion requiring a walk through a forest path.
The statue contains an internal spiral staircase leading to a viewing platform, which closed to the public in 1905 following an incident.
