Origin from Mariahilf

In 1809 two farmers married in the parish of Osterwall, who received a boy in 1811, which unfortunately caused the mother to fall into an illness lasting 3/4 years. The boy, too, was suffering and his body curved like a sickle and could hardly be given any food. All medical help was free. One morning, on the point of going on a trip, the father blessed both of them and left the house with the thought of whether he would see them again alive. He knelt by a beech tree by the way, asked God for help and vowed to have an image of Mary erected here and to pray here with his wife every day after the help had been given. Then he got up and, often calling Maria, continued on his way. Returning, he immediately hurried into the sickroom, where his mother, with tears in her eyes, told him of her sudden recovery, even if she was still feeling a little weak. The boy also stretched out his right hand to show that he too had been helped. They now praised God and his most holy mother and lived long and happily until death separated them.
