St Florian is the patron saint of firefighters.  This statue of him was erected in 1991 in front of the old building of the Munich fire brigade.

“O heiliger Sankt Florian, verschon’ mein Haus, zünd’ and’re an“, this not-really-serious prayer in German is a wellknown saying: “O Holy St Florian, please spare my house, set fire to another one”.
