The Cologne Mariensäule is one of the oldest of the Rhenish Marian columns. This monument of Marian devotion from Udelfanger sandstone was designed by Vincenz Statz in neo-Gothic style and completed in 1858; Today, the pillar stands on the Gereonsdriesch, a small park in the district Altstadt-Nord in the immediate vicinity of the eastern choir of the Romanesque church of St. Gereon.

The reason for the construction of the Marian Column - now standing at St. Geron's Church - was the dogma of the "Immaculate Conception of Mary", which Pope Pius IX. decided and announced in 1854. The "Solemnity of the Virgin and Mother of God, Mary, conceived without original sin" is celebrated annually on December 8th in the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church.
