The still shows a woman in a light-colored coat bending over the tap fixture of a spa spring fountain, filling or drinking mineral water. The metal fountain construction with spigot and catch basin corresponds to the typical equipment of Bad Homburg’s drinking cure facilities. In the background, further spa guests can be seen on the steps, pointing to the convivial spa activities conducted in the open air. The travel film employs this everyday scene to present Bad Homburg as a spa resort with a long tradition and an active spring-drinking cure. The shot stands within the filmic context of the spa resort sequences, which present Wiesbaden and Bad Homburg together as elegant spa destinations of the German West.
