There's a statue of a mermaid holding a drowned boy in her arms near the German end of the old bridge in Rheinfelden.

The statue is connected with a local legend about the river turbulence at this location; but it is a very free adaption, no version of the tale does mention a mermaid. It just says that who ever gets caught by this turbulence, is never to be found again.
