The reality according to Wikipedia and the city's website
"Based on the poem written for the wife of the poet 'The bittersweet eh'lich 'life' by Hans Sachs , the fountain in six larger-than-life groups of figures visually exaggerates the different scenes from the ups and downs of married life - from the first passionate love through marital conflict to the first Death. The fountain consists of painted and partly fire-gilded bronze figures . On a pedestal is also the author of the thematic text, Hans Sachs, presented."
I wonder if the couple using that old Chevy for their impending wedding chose this part of town on purpose.
