Abstract

Marian Columns in Central Europe are an expression of the Marian cult as well as testimonials to Marian devotion in times of the Counter-Reformation. They were erected as memorials and monuments of the Catholic Reform as well as an artistic expression of a transregional public piety in the public sphere especially within the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Habsburg Empire. The article summarises this type of Christian monument and its political iconography in 17th and 18th century.
