Everything about Mariens Ule totally explained
The
Mariensäule is a
Marian column located on the
Marienplatz in
Munich,
Germany. It was erected in 1638 to celebrate the end of
Swedish occupation during the
Thirty Years' War and is topped by a
golden
statue of the
Virgin Mary standing on a crescent moon as the
Queen of Heaven, created in 1590. The figure was originally located in the
Frauenkirche.
Mariensäule in Munich was the first column of this type built north of the
Alps and inspired erecting other Marian columns in this part of Europe.
At each corner of the column's pedestal is a statue of a
putti, created by
Ferdinand Murmann. The four putti's are each depicted fighting a different beast, symbolizing the city's overcoming of adversities:
war represented by the
lion,
pestilence by the
cockatrice,
hunger or
famine by the
dragon and
heresy by the
serpent.
