Fountain in the townhall center of Stettin, now Szczecin, Poland.

Standing, the primary figure is Sedina, the allegorical representation of Stettin, bearing anchor and mast. At the helm is Hermes, god of traders. Around 1900, Stettin experienced a significant economic upswing, especially from sea trading. Thus, the fountain stands, in a way, as a symbol of the rising, prospering sea city.

The original figure was dismantled and melted for copper during World War II, 1942. When Poland acquired Stettin after the war, a single anchor was put in its place. There have been strong calls and efforts to reconstruct Sedina since 2004.

A part of the model is located at the Pommerschen Landesmuseum.
