    The most famous son of the city of Bad Windsheim, the German physician and natural scientist Georg Wilhelm Steller described in 1741 a giant cow (Hydrodamalis gigas), which is extinct today.
    In addition to a monument in the city center, this sculpture is also intended to commemorate this event and Steller.

        The dimensions of the Colorful Cow probably correspond to those of those living at that time. Impressive.
