      Very artistic fountain from a time when bronze casting was still something very special.

        The fountain is by Adriaen de Vries from 1599. The bronze group on the pillar in the basin represents Mercury and at his feet Cupid untying the sandals of the god of commerce. This symbolizes the wish and the certainty that Mercury will stay in Augsburg and keep the flourishing trade and thus the prosperity in the city.
