Sollner column
The Sollner Column is a wayside shrine in the Solln district of Munich .
location
The Sollner column is located in the Solln villa colony at the junction of Sollner Straße / Lommelstraße. The location is about 100 meters north of the center of the villa colony, which is formed by the former Hubertus pharmacy and the Gasthaus zum Hirschen , near the Solln S-Bahn station.
history
The wayside shrine was created in 1911 by the sculptor Balthasar Schmitt , who also created several works in the Solln parish church and who lived in Solln not far from the wayside shrine on Schieggstrasse. It was not commissioned, but was built by Schmitt on his own initiative. One of the inscriptions on the wayside shrine suggests that the court confectioner Ludwig Hof, who lives nearby, contributed money to the building of the wayside shrine.
Behind the wayside shrine was a wooden house in which the writer Werner Bergengruen lived from 1936 to 1945 and which was destroyed in the Second World War.
The Sollner column is now registered in the Bavarian list of monuments.
description
The large wayside shrine has three sides and a tent roof . A wooden seat is attached to its base and surrounds it. On the sides there are three reliefs showing the adoration of the kings , the beheading of John the Baptist and St. George slaying the dragon. The relief of John the Baptist is a reference to the namesake of the Sollner parish church and the old Sollner church .
Below the reliefs are the inscriptions “SOLLN ZUR ZIER”, “MUEDEN ZUR RAST” and “BALTH: SCHMITT v. LVD: GvR. HOF 1911 ".
The traditional style of the wayside shrine is in keeping with the homeland movement of the time .
