A side outlet of Lake Badenburg into the "Teufelsbach" was designed as a rock spring in the forest. The Greek shepherd god Pan and a billy goat are lying on the rocks in the cool shade of dark yew trees - the hurried walker easily overlooks them. This suits Pan, the wild god of the forest and nature.
Design by Peter Simon Lamine 1815, who here repeats his own motif from the palace gardens in Schwetzingen. The pan group is said to be the only garden decoration from the phase in which F.L.v. Sckell landscaped the Nymphenburger Park.

Removed from time, the goat-god Pan rests on an artificial hill and plays his shepherd's flute, which is now mostly called the Pan flute after him. A billy goat lies next to him, seemingly listening to the sounds. Peter Simon Lamine created the sculpture in 1815 from Carrara marble. The "Pan Monument", as early historians called the group, crowns an artificial spring. It is the outflow of the Great Lake, which pours with a small waterfall into the Teufelsbach, which continues to the northeast.

The Pan group belongs to the remarkable sculptures in the Nymphenburg Palace Park and is a beautiful example of the connection between mythology, art, and landscape design. The group of figures shows the Greek god of nature and shepherds, Pan, who is considered in ancient mythology as a symbol of wilderness, joie de vivre, and the close connection of humans with nature.
