It provides a year-round habitat for numerous water birds. The "Warme Damm", as it is affectionately called by the people of Wiesbaden, is framed by historic town and country houses, some of which can look back on almost 200 years of history.

The "Warme Damm" is bordered to the north by the Schiller monument. The grounds themselves contain modern art objects as well as a monument to Kaiser Wilhelm I and historical fragments of a Roman temple. The "Warme Damm" owes its name to a system of ponds that once existed, some of whose pools were fed with thermal water.
