Comment
This sculpture with its inscription shows that Ingolstadt is situated in Upper Bavaria (Oberbayern), which is one of Bavaria's mainly Roman catholic parts. There is no comparable veneration of Holy Mary in protestantism and the idea of patron saints is a very catholic one. The homepage of the Historical Association of Ingolstadt (Historischer Verein Ingolstadt) clearly explains the local situation: "Im Ingolstädter Gebiet kam es zu keiner Gemeindebildung der neuen Lehre. Die Auseinandersetzung mit ihr gipfelte in Einzelschicksalen, literarischen Fehden und militärischen Operationen." (On the territory of Ingolstadt, no parish was founded for the new [protestant] doctrine that never meant more than individual fates, literary altercations and military operations.)
