Ecce homo pillar
The Ecce homo column in the Leopold Strasse / Corner Barn street in the 10th district of Vienna favorites , district part Oberlaa , is a depiction of Jesus Christ as Man of Sorrows .
History and description
The citizen of Oberlaa, Simon Knabl, had this Ecce-homo column built in the middle of the 19th century in memory of his murdered wife. Coming home from early mass, he found her dead with her neck cut. The murder could never be solved.
The Ecce Homo pillar is a stone pillar. It consists of a pillar with a base with a square plan and beveled edges. On the front side, the tools of Christ's passion are depicted in relief (Arma Christi: ladder, hammer, sponge, lance). The sculpture Jesus Christ as the Man of Sorrows stands on the pillar. Originally the statue faced north. After the construction of an adjoining house, it was turned so that it now looks west to Leopoldsdorfer Straße. Unqualified whitewashing could not be completely removed despite the renovation by the Federal Monuments Office in 1970.
The stone column is one of the few of its kind in Vienna and is protected as Vienna's natural monument number 751 with the four horse chestnuts surrounding it and the green area as a “ group of trees including free plastic ” .
