The Marienplatz square, where the dilapidated former market church stood until 1784, is now dominated by the Marian column designed by artist Kaspar von Zumbusch in 1861.
A statue of the praying Mother of God stands at the top of the column. The figures of St. Liborius, St. Meinolfus, Charlemagne and Henry II can be seen in the niches. Below them - on two levels - you can see four water-spouting heads.
