Also called "Prangerhansl", it stands in the northwest of the main square. It is an interesting monument of medieval jurisdiction and signs of market law. The base of the column dates from the early Renaissance, the figure of Roland from 1575. At the back of the column are still the traces of the "Viennese Elle", a medieval Längenmass recognizable.
