In 1599 the plague raged and it was vowed to erect a Marian column for salvation. Today's statue, which is stylistically dated to the second half of the 17th century, stands on a column with a composite capital with a winged angel's head.[2] In 1788 a fountain was added around the column, which was solemnly blessed on August 15th. Because of cholera, the vow of 1599 was renewed in 1856. In 1890 the fountain with the Marian column was torn down and rebuilt in a baroque style. The figures of Saint Peter and Saint James by the Augsburg sculptor Sager were added in 1905. In 1974 the fountain, which had suffered damage during the wars, was renewed.

Wittelsbach Palace, Friedberg

Highlight • Castle

The historic castle is now mainly known as an event location, but inside there is also a beautiful museum that you can visit as a hiker. This was even redesigned and renewed in 2019 and includes many stations for children. You can also get drinks and cakes in the castle café after your visit.

The museum and café are always open from Tuesday to Sunday and on public holidays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can find more information here: museum-friedberg.de/besucherinfo.

Pilgrimage Church Herrgottsruh

Highlight • Religious Site

According to an old tradition, its origin goes back to a citizen of Friedberg who made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land between 1300 and 1350. On his way back, he was taken prisoner by the Turks and vowed to build a chapel modeled after the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem upon his return. Thanks to his fortunate return, he was able to fulfill this promise.

The present pilgrimage church was built in 1731. It impresses with its three-aisled architecture and the magnificent choir rotunda. The interior with its seven domes is particularly fascinating, appearing surprisingly light and spacious. The baroque ornamentation and the delicate stucco work in the best rococo style give the church an elegant atmosphere.

In addition to the pilgrimage church, you will also find a Lourdes grotto and a Dreikönigskapelle (Three Kings Chapel) – perfect places to let your soul relax and let the history sink in.

Lower Gate, Aichach

Highlight • Monument

If you come through Aichach from the north, the app guides you around the gate because it is only accessible in the opposite direction (one-way street). But right in the gate there is a footpath that is also easily passable by bike, as long as you get off and of course show consideration for pedestrians. This saves you the somewhat tedious "technically correct" route from komoot ;-)
