Statue of Weisse Dame
Isn't of "Persil" which is named after its key ingredients *PERborate and SILicate*, but of the White Lady.
The White Lady much like the mythical Phoebe Snow of the Lackawanna Rail Road was meant to symbolize purity and cleanliness.
Weisse Dame was the first advertising campaign for Henkel's Persil and still remains one of the most potent and loved symbols for that product in Germany.

Over the years from her initial launch in 1920's through 1960's the Weisse Dame changed her frock as fashions did as well.
