    ... the "Mother Baar" monument commemorates the "Golden Wedding" of Princess Irma and Prince Max Egon II of Fürstenberg.
    - Following the renaturalization of the floodplain landscape, it has found its new location here at the "source of the Danube" near Donaueschingen, Schwarzwald-Baar district, Baden-Württemberg.


    - The 2.5-ton limestone sculpture was created in 1875 by Franz Xaver Reich (Hüfingen).
    - and stood for 150 years at the confluence of the Brigach and Breg rivers.
    - The sculpture was extensively restored in 2024/2025.
