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

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 existed in earlier times, some of whose pools were fed with thermal water.

The "Warm Pond", which existed until 1805, was used as a horse pond, among other things.
