“Wiesbaden” literally means “bathing in the fields.”
Kochbrunnen - “Boiling Fountain” – The hot water from this underground spring is comprised of many minerals, but predominantly sodium and calcium. Supposedly it heals many ailments!
(Personal note: It stinks to high heaven! It smells like rotten eggs!)

Outdoor Hot Water!The Kochbrunnen Spring was
built in 1971. It is a massive granite slab that weighs 18 tons. The sculpture appears to some as a giant clam cooking in its own steam.
Some drink it, but some soak their feet and ankles in it. It is said to cure arthritis!

Wiesbaden – Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Elizabeth

It is still used for Russian Orthodox Services.

On the half hour a cuckoo bird comes out, and on the hour a little Bavarian girl and boy come out and dance to the music. It was originally located on the Kaiser Friedrich Square. The square was totally destroyed during World War II, but the clock survived. It was moved in 1950 to the front of a store that sells wonderful carved wooden artifacts.
