Mariensäule, Marian column in Marienplatz, Munich, Germany.
The Mariensäule stands 11 meters tall with a golden statue of Virgin Mary on top of a marble column in the center of Marienplatz.
Erected in 1638 following Munich's liberation from Swedish occupation during the Thirty Years' War, the column commemorates the city's resilience through difficult times.
Four bronze angels at the base of the column fight against mythical creatures representing hunger, war, disease, and heresy that threatened Munich.
The monument remains accessible to visitors with reduced mobility and serves as a central meeting point for guided tours in Munich's old town.
The statue of Virgin Mary atop the column was originally created in 1593 for Duke Wilhelm V's tomb before finding its current location.
