Summary[edit]
| Description |
Deutsch: Am Ortsrand von Leithen Richtung Reith steht eine Säule aus dem Jahr 1637. Sie zeigt Bilder der Kreuzigung Christi und von Pestheiligen und erinnert an die Zeit des 30jährigen Krieges, in der durchziehende Truppen die Pest ins Land einschleppten, welche die folgenden 3 Jahre weitum fürchterlich wütete. Ein wohlhabender Innsbrucker Kaufmann flüchtete mit seiner Familie nach Leithen, wo er schwer erkrankte. Er schwor, im Falle seiner Genesung einen Bildstock zu errichten; sein Versprechen löste er nach überstandener Krankheit ein.
English: The Plague Column: On the village border of Leithen in the direction of Reith, a column from 1637 stands, on which pictures of the painful Crucifixion and of saints protecting people from the plague are depicted. It is a memorial of the era of the Thirty Years War (1618-48), when troops passing through brought the plague into the countryside, which was the scourge of the population for three years. A prosperous Innsbruck businessman escaped from the city and came to Leithen with his family. He, too, became gravely ill and thought he had been infected with the plague. He swore to erect a column in case he recovered.
