This monument was built as part of the Rittergau in 1798 to glorify knightly virtues. Column figures of this type were very popular in landscape gardens, since these gardens were often enriched with numerous monuments.

The Rittergau around the Franzensburg is an integral part of the Schlosspark Laxenburg. In memory of his great ancestors of the Middle Ages, Emperor Franz II. have this part of the park landscaped. The Knight's Column, erected in 1798, is in this context the glorification of the knightly virtues, in earlier plans it is even called the "Jurisdiktzionsäule".
