    The late 17th and early 18th centuries were characterized by wayside shrines, which had a stylistic mixture of late Gothic and Baroque elements. The so-called Marter am Berg, which was founded in 1683 by the butcher Hans Bartel Ulerig, is particularly typical. Its shaft takes up baroque forms, while the essay is still attached to the late Gothic. The four-column marter donated in 1700 with the fruit hanging and the twisted columns in the top can be considered the first completely baroque wayside shrine.

    What you see here is a faithful copy of the original from the 17th century. An inscription has been added.
