   Keyboard range:     ----  /    ----

   The whole instrument was installed in 2019
     with bells made by Perner      
   No auxiliary mechanisms known
   Tower details not available
   Year of latest technical information source is 2020

These bells are reported in a German Wikipedia article about the Mariahilferkirche in the same town.
The German Wikipedia article about the town mentions three MariensŠulen but not this one, which was found by exploring Google StreetView for Lendplatz.  A StreetView contributed image shows a gilded statue of Mary & child atop a stone column, flanked by stone statues; but there is no sign of bells in the photo, so it must predate this installation.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Perner bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.

Ranking among all European chimes by pitch (weight).
