The statue of the Virgin Mary with a blue and red coat had probably been hidden from the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War and was found by four farm workers in a Biebrich alley in 1767. Three years later, they were set up on the former Hochheimer Marktplatz, the Plan. In 1801 it was given a canopy to protect it from the weather.
Since their establishment, the citizens of Hochheim have believed in the protective effect of "their" Madonna and attribute the fact that Hochheim suffered little destruction in the Second World War.

The Madonna am Plan is the patroness of Hochheim and stands on the “Am Plan” market square.
It was erected in 1770. The canopy was added in 1801.
