    Then we found the way towards parkland of the town.Here there is a small example of the love of the Germans for the Greek and Latin antiquity:a like Greek temple construction on which is a Latin inscription-"the source of the Danube was decorated by The German Emperor Wilhelm II....the grandson of The Great Wilhelm"-.

    The plants and the animals are not endlessly.So a stainless steel tree-near metallic giraffe- could be the solution for the Germans...whose love for the well done things is known()

    For the amusement of the giraffe,probably,a rag was hung from a tree.

    Although the access at the palace and its garden was "verboten"(forbidden),with the help of the giraffe's method I took an image over the fence.

    Here,in Donaueschingen there are two rivers -Breg and Brigach- which are noted because they gave up their identities to get Danube.

    In the art,allegory was always "a la mode". The woman could be "das Mutterland" (the mother-county) where the two rivers(the two children) get Danube.The "innovation" was the iron plate like temporary cover,probably.

    No gaze to this former hospital which was the Stanislas Leszcyinski's palace - a king of Poland whose daughter was the wife of Louise XV of France(he had two well known mistresses,Madame de Pompadour and Madame du Barry)
