A diving whale, placed in calm waters like lakes, is not just an eye-catcher. This mechanical whale fluke has a positive impact on the environment and contributes to sustainability, species protection, water conservation and nature conservation.
The oxygen supply of the water treatment has a positive influence on the flora and fauna. This benefits both living beings above and below water. This innovative solution is used to reduce the recurring algae infestation in still waters.
The artwork, a fluke of a diving whale, contributes to sustainability in various climate-friendly areas and is visible to the environment. The art object consists of polyester concrete (with fiberglass snippets) and adhesive emulsion or is completely implemented with epoxy resin coating and fiber mats (as in yacht construction).
This art object is ideal for cities and communities with problems in their calm waters, lakes, castle ponds or on golf courses and could also be displayed at garden shows to stimulate discussion among visitors.
Immersed in old and new urban development projects, Werner's Whale invites you to sojourn and engage in discussion.

The Oberbaum Bridge in Berlin connects the districts of Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain over the Spree and is the landmark of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. Originally there was a wooden bridge at this point, intended to collect customs duties. In 1896, today's neo-Gothic bridge was built, allowing both rail and road traffic. The bridge was badly damaged during WW II, but was repaired. In divided Berlin, the Oberbaum Bridge served as a border point and was closed during the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961. It was only reopened to pedestrians in 1972.
The whale symbolizes that no borders are - and should be - insurmountable!
The Wannsee lido in Berlin has been the largest inland lake swimming pool in Europe since 1907. A special attraction in this swimming pool can be a whale fluke, which is integrated into the swimming area. This whale figure not only serves as an eye-catcher, but also as a play object that swimmers can use to playfully shower.
The Badeschiff in Berlin (Spree Swimming Pool) - an anchored barge houses the floating bathing establishment in the heart of Berlin's Spree and was designed as an urban art project.
Werner's whale, attached to the outside of the head, brings a rush of water into the swimming pool via its fluke. Bathers can shower and have fun.

Werner’s Whale appears majestically in all its glory as it elegantly dives through ponds, lakes and castle ponds. But its appearance is not only an aesthetic enrichment, it also brings with it many practical advantages.
Thanks to its unique water mixing and surge-like supply of oxygen, the whale actively contributes to combating algae infestation in water bodies. This natural cleaning function ensures clear and healthy water, which in turn saves costs. The whale is therefore not only an impressive attraction, but also a valuable partner for the water owners.
Werner's whale fluke is attached precisely to a bollard by passing it through an overpipe inside the whale. In the lower third, a floating body is attached to the overcolumn, which causes the design whale to rise and fall in waves, as can be seen when a whale dives down properly.
In addition, a photovoltaic system will be installed on top of the fluke to supply all mechanical supplies, cables, lamps, pumps and filter systems in the whale with their own electricity. This innovative technology means the whale is operated sustainably and energy-efficiently.
The precise construction and integration of the photovoltaic system make Werner's whale fluke a technically advanced and environmentally friendly work of art. It's not just its aesthetic appearance that impresses, but also the well-thought-out mechanisms inside, which ensure a self-sufficient energy supply.
Experience the symbiosis of art and technology with Werner's whale fluke. Admire not only the impressive design, but also the clever integration of environmentally friendly energy generation. Immerse yourself in a world where aesthetics and sustainability merge and be inspired by the innovative solutions in the interior of whales.
