The bronze sculpture of a fish on top of the Fischbrunnen on the Marienplatz square.
The original Fischbrunnen fountain from 1866 on this location was destroyed in 1944 during allied bombing raids in WWII. The current fountain was rebuilt in 1954. It shall remember the times when the Marienplatz was a central market square and fishmongers placed their fish into the fountain to keep them alive (and fresh).
Here's a photo of the complete fountain.
