This is the front of the Herschelbad in Mannheim. Bernhard Herschel was a businessman and local councellor who donated 500,000 goldmarks in early the 20th century for the establishment of a public swimming bath that would carry his name. It took quite a while with planning and building and the baths were finally opened in 1920, 15 years after his death. There are three large pools, bath tubs, a Roman-Irish bath, a sun bathing section and even a pool for dogs.
A few of the various windows seen on the neo-baroque front.

I don’t know if “covey” is the correct word – but it’s more than one bird, yet they are not enough for a flock. But this being “public art” I guess the frame is the important detail anyway.
The lake in the Luisenpark in Mannheim was created in 1975 when the city hosted the German Federal Garden Show. They will host it again next year, 47 years later.
The lake is wedged between two suburbs of Mannheim, Vogelstang and Wallstadt. From the northern side the watertower of Wallstadt rises above the stretch of beach.
From the opposite site the highrise apartment building of Vogelstang are visible.
BTW: The sign just visible says: swimming allowed, boats and stand up paddling not allowed.
