The figure of Mary itself dates back to 1593 and is attributed to the sculptor Hubert Gerhard. The statue was created for the grave of Duke Wilhelm V and initially adorned the high altar of the Frauenkirche.
The four heroic putti were only added in 1641 and replaced by copies at the end of the 20th century. The originals are in the Munich City Museum.

The Marian Column on Marienplatz has been a reminder of the happy outcome of the Thirty Years' War for Munich since 1638. The monument consists of a golden statue of the Virgin Mary on a marble base. The Marian Column is dedicated to Saint Mary, who is considered the patron saint of Bavaria, "Patrona Bavariae".
