Holy Trinity Column (Dreifaltigkeitssäule), Linz Main Square

Trinity Column / Plague Column, Linz
The Trinity Column is a plague column on Linz's main square. It is located (west) in front of the Old Town Hall, roughly in the middle of the square. The construction of the column was promised out of gratitude in 1713.
The construction of the column was promised out of gratitude in 1713. The trigger was the defense against the plague epidemics in 1679 and 1713, the dangers of war in 1683 and 1703/1704 and a major fire in 1712. The design was created by Antonio Beduzzi, and the column was finally made of marble by the Salzburg court stonemason Sebastian Stumpfögger by 1723. The column was not inaugurated until five years later (on November 17, 1728) by the cathedral dean Max Gandolph Steyrer von Rothenthurm. The monument was restored in 1778-1780, 1823, 1862 and 1874; in 1840 the column was fenced in. During the Second World War, in 1943, the upper part of the column was stored in Kapuzinerstrasse, while the base remained on the main square and was damaged. After the war, the column was put back up and repaired; since December 1947 it has been restored and stands on the main square again. The column was restored in 1983/84. The Trinity Column has been a listed building since 2009.
From summer 2019, the column was completely renovated and disappeared behind scaffolding. Parts of the decorations were removed for cleaning. From the beginning of July 2020, the column could be admired again in its new splendor without scaffolding.
