1903 by Metzger and Adolf Mayer
The Roman legionary, made of white sandstone and holding a flag, stands on a red sandstone pedestal.
However, with increasing car traffic in the early 1950s on Floriansplatz, which was used as a parking lot, the fountain became a hindrance, and so the figure (the pedestal was too dilapidated) was moved by a US Army crane to the perimeter wall of the Knights' Chapel in 1954.
In 1984/85, the statue returned to its original location, within a few meters of its original location, on a new pedestal modeled on the old one.

The fountain is quite nice to look at. Next door, Café Florian (named after Italy's oldest ice cream parlor in Venice) always has a spot available and isn't as crowded as the other ice cream parlors in Hassfurt. The ice cream is delicious 😋
