Still in the same area of Germany is the town of Bad Sobernheim. The town is on the River Nahe, and in the middle of the Pfalz wine producing area. This fountain is in the centre of the town, and like most German fountains provides a place for the younger members of the community to cool off in warm (or even not so warm) weather - and no-one seems to mind at all!
Bad Sobernheim is a spa town, a place to which you can go for the benefit of your health, perhaps for rehabilitation following an operation. You can even have a "health holiday" paid for by your health insurance, and towns like Bad Sobernheim have facilities to ensure that recovery from whatever has ailed you is a relatively pleasant process.
Originally a spa was associated with drinking specific mineral waters which had healing effects on different parts of the body. German spas come in a variety of different types - it's not just the "different" water, but it might be the specific type of health treatments available, or it might be the fresh air, that would allow a town to call itself a "Bad". Bad Sobernheim specialises in the Felke treatment: mud baths (the mud contains various different minerals, which are prescribed for each individual,) exercise, and a specialised diet, once again depending on the individual needs of the patient. Among those who can benefit from it are people suffering from burn out, and also those who are overweight due to bad eating habits.
