On November 27, 1944, large parts of Freiburg were destroyed by a bombing raid and 2,797 people lost their lives.

In addition to the legend about the legendary Freiburg drake, there is also a story that a pair of herons that lived in the damp area around the university hospital warned of the impending danger with their conspicuous behavior and cries.

The sculpture was created in his honor.
