The former German Federal Post Office has evolved into several listed companies; the traditional postal service is now called DHL and is still headquartered in the former federal capital of Bonn. In front of the striking headquarters building—which was by no means uncontroversial when the construction plans were announced—called the Post Tower, stands a large statue of Mercury. In ancient mythology, he was, among other things, the god of trade—but also of thieves.
