The monument was donated in 1747 by Johann Michael Jochinger together with mass stipends for himself and his family. The lowest row of statues shows John the Baptist, James the Elder, recognizable by his pilgrim cloak with pilgrim shell and two crossed swords, and Giles, the second patron saint of Korneuburg. The three reliefs show the three main Christian virtues: faith (monk), hope (praying woman) and love (the giving woman crowned with a citizen's crown with pages and a needy person), then the Holy Family, and the three plague saints Sebastian, Rochus and Rosalia. Above them are the statues of the three archangels, Michael, Raphael and Gabriel. The column is completed with the coronation of Mary by the Holy Trinity.

The Plague Column on Korneuburg's main square, also known as the Trinity Column, was donated in 1747 by the merchant Johann Michael Jochinger and erected in Zogelsdorf sandstone by the sculptor Franz Leopold Farmacher. It was created as a token of thanks for the end of a plague epidemic and today stands on the site of the former pillory. The late Baroque column has a three-sided floor plan and is richly decorated with figures: In the lower zone, there are saints such as John the Baptist, Giles, and James the Elder, as well as reliefs depicting scenes of the plague saints Sebastian, Rochus, and Rosalia, depictions of the virtues, and the flight of the Holy Family. Above it stand the archangels Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael, while the top depicts the coronation of Mary by the Holy Trinity. The column is considered a landmark of Korneuburg and has been restored several times over the centuries, most recently in 2020.
