Nearby, the Mariensäule, or Mary's Column, stands prominently in Marienplatz. Erected in 1638 to celebrate the end of Swedish occupation during the Thirty Years' War, it features a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary atop a Corinthian column. The base is adorned with four putti battling mythical creatures, symbolizing the overcoming of war, pestilence, hunger, and heresy. This column is not only a religious symbol but also a historic landmark, often serving as a central meeting point in the bustling square. Together, these sites offer a blend of cultural history and architectural beauty in the heart of Munich.
