    Although the Heunensäule is over 1,000 years old, the monument did not reach the Mainz market until 1975. The occasion was the 1000th anniversary of the cathedral.
    It came as heavy freight from the Bullau mountains near Miltenberg am Main to the Rhine.

      The then Archbishop Willigis (Archchancellor of the Reich), whose term began in 975, ordered the construction of a new cathedral in Ottonian forms. Perhaps Willigis was motivated to build the right to be coronated for the Roman-German king. An exact date of the start of construction is not guaranteed. Since the preservation of the coronation rights was only questioned from around 990, the extremely short time until completion of the building speaks against this theory.
