According to a legend from the 16th century, a mermaid was taken captive by fishermen. As revenge, she then destroyed the dike and the village with a storm surge at church time. Since 1992, the attractive bronze sculpture has stood on a pedestal with its back to the sea and with a proud view of the church in the town of Minsen. The sculpture is a very popular photo motif in Wangerland and also adorns the Wangerland municipal coat of arms.
