A 16-m-high stone Gothic column, erected by the Master Michael Knab at the end of the 14th century. According to medieval legend the column was erected in thanks for the safe return of a husband from the crusades. The pillar marked the southern limit of Viennese jurisdiction, and was used as public execution site until well into the 19th century; in 1927 during construction numerous skeletons of the executed were unearthed.
