    The monument "Mutter Baar" commemorates the "Golden Wedding" of Princess Irma and Prince Max Egon II. zu Fürstenberg"

    - after the renaturation of the floodplain landscape, it has found its new location here at the "Danube source" near Donaueschingen, Schwarzwald-Baar-Kreis district in Baden-Württemberg

    - the 2.5-tonne limestone sculpture was created in 1875 by "Franz Xaver Reich" (Hüfingen)
    - it previously stood for 150 years at the former confluence of the "Brigach and Breg" rivers
    - in 2024/2025 the sculpture was elaborately restored
