Wayside shrine (Unterhaching)
The wayside shrine , also known as the plague column , is in Grünau in the Unterhaching community in the Munich district . According to tradition, it commemorates the plague dead . It is likely to come from the early modern period. As a monument it is provided with the number D-1-84-148-9 of the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments .
The 2.50 m high wayside shrine is made of tuff from the Gleißental . The lower part is designed as a square pillar with a suggested base and capital . Above this is an area with four gables , under which there are deep-arched niches on three sides. Above that it is quite weathered, but it seems to have had a crown at the top that Staudter calls a Gothic helmet . The letters C and R (for Christ Rex) and a pierced Heart of Jesus are carved .
An old oil painting with the year 1635 is said to have been in the niches in 1937 . At that time the plague raged in Unterhaching. Today there are new paintings of the Holy Change and the local saints Alto and Korbinian by Albert Riedmaier from 1982/83. These were renewed in 1998 by Erich Johner.
According to the stylistic dating, it comes from the early 16th century. Felzmann assumes a meaning as a plague column. He suspects that the wayside shrine was given new pictures in 1635 on the occasion of the plague. When plowing in the area, bones are said to have been found, which could indicate a remote plague cemetery. In addition to a plague column, Staudter also considers a votive column because of the pictorial niches and a torture column at the point of a crime to be possible. This is also supported by the field name of the same name.
The wayside shrine was moved a few meters in 1968 during the development and design of the Grünau settlement area . Before it was at the fork in Truderinger and Säulenstrasse, today it was on Von-Stauffenberg-Strasse near Truderinger Strasse in an open space in front of a row of shops. During the transfer it broke apart and was then put back together. The name Säulenstrasse is also reminiscent of the wayside shrine.
