The re-erection of the Mariensäule in Munich's Pasing district

The Mariensäule is a religious monument located in the Pasing district of Munich. The original statue was built in 1880 on the Pasinger Marienplatz, but it was removed in 1908 to make room for a tram line.

For decades, a taxi stand occupied the location of the column. In 1977, the Kulturverein Pasinger Mariensäule e. V. was founded to address the site's history. On October 25, 1980, the association successfully had a Mariensäule re-erected at the original site.

In 2014, a memorial inscription was added to the back of the column. The inscription honors the longtime Pasing parish priest Georg Schuster, who was instrumental in the re-erection of the monument.
