Count Anton Karl von Oettingen-Wallerstein had the Wallerstein plague column erected by the sculptor Johann Georg Bschorer from Oberndorf in 1722-1725, based on the model of Bohemian plague columns and the Viennese plague column on the Graben. The rich figurative decoration of the column shows St. Mary and St. Rochus, Sebastian and Anthony of Padua. In 2006, the plague column was completely renovated by master stone sculptor and stone restorer Franz Josef Wittner.

The plague column is there because Wallerstein was spared the plague
