The swan has always inspired the human fantasy. It already appeared in the Greek and Nordic mythology. For instance Kara, the Swan Queen of the Valkyries, defeated her enemies by flying over them angry singing. Since the 16th century the swan is a symbol in numerous images by the reformer Martin Luther and on church roofs. Nowadays this elegant water bird is associated with purity, love and fidelity.

The swan is not only symbolically but also visually an expression of charm, grace and cordiality. Especially when two fellow species look at one another and their long, elegant flowing necks form the shape of a heart.
