This fountain and sculpture had been in it's designated location only for 15 years, between 1903 and 1918. The statue depicting the mythological figure of benevolent "Father Rhine".
That location was at Strasbourg in front of the theater. What some patrons in Strasbourg disliked was the view of bare buttocks when they left their theater or when they were just enjoying a walk in the park.
Though the area, Alsace, had always been bilingual, 1870 after the war between Germany and France, Alsace was claimed and annexed by Germany. Only after WWI in 1918 it had to be returned to France. Since the fountain and statue were considered "too German", it was dismantled.
The artist, Adolf von Hildebrand, worked in Munich, so the city of Munich bought the pieces in 1929 and rebuilt them in 1932 on an island in the river "Isar" ...
Now the statue has a nice blue/green patina, but you can picture from the colorized vintage postcards that the bronze was golden-brown in the beginning.
At the end of the day, it’s me who lead me to the position I am in today. There’s no one to blame. No one to point fingers at. My decision or lack of brought here today.

"Don't fall for the Pay Packet System because mum never knows how much Dad slices off the top nor when he get a rise or extra overtime. She we only wonder how he got the shiny new power drill or golf clubs."
A unique look into the kiwi household of the late 70's, Family Budget Planning is an interactive budget breakdown to get you on the right track with your money. I found the Average Spending Pattern page particularly enlightening.
Between the pages, the only interaction with the workbook was a circled passage: "Before we start let's all agree...all income is ours not... his or hers".
