The pair of  Seymouria models stolen last year  (and not recovered, with no leads) has been replaced  with new models at a popular  outdoor Geopark, the Saurian Discovery Trail [Saurier-Erlebnispfad] (opened 2011),  in Georgenthal, Germany; a  damaged Coelurosauravus (Weigeltisaurus) model has also been restored   (in German)

The  models are based on fossils of two nearly complete Seymouria specimens found next to each other at a  Lower Permian site in Bromacker in 1997 by German paleontologist Thomas Martens and prepared at the Carnegie Museum. The fossil pair was locally nicknamed the "Tambach Love Couple" [Tambacher Liebespaar], and the name was also used for the now replaced pair of life-size models in the park (in German)

The nickname  <<Tambacher Liebespaar>>  [Tambach Love Couple] is a play on the name of a famous  15th century German painting the <<Gothaer Liebespaar>>  [Gotha Love Couple]. See:
