At the 'Tal' in München, Germany, Bayern stands the sculpture of the Roman god Mercury ontop of the Merkurbrunnen, an old fountain. And Mercury is also the first planet in our solar system.

Mercury is the smallest and closest to the Sun of the eight planets in the Solar System, with an orbital period of about 88 Earth days. [...] Mercury's surface is heavily cratered and similar in appearance to the Moon, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years.

Mercury is a major Roman god, being one of the Dii Consentes within the ancient Roman pantheon. He is the patron god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence (and thus poetry), messages/communication (including divination), travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves; he is also the guide of souls to the underworld. He was considered the son of Maia and Jupiter in Roman mythology.

The fountain was created by Friedrich von Thiersch and Hugo Kaufmann in the years 1902 and 1911.
