With a height of more than 6 m, the Marian column in front of the town hall cannot be overlooked. It was built in 1711 from a piece of local sandstone.
It is believed to be a plague column erected by survivors of the plague that ravaged the city in 1682 and 1683. The driving force of the baroque building was the then city pastor Herwig Böning.
The symbols on the base indicate the city's secular and ecclesiastical ties. The inscriptions in Latin are a salute to Mary, Queen of Heaven.
