Visit Tierpark

Visit Tierpark to support wildlife preservation. The Tierpark Berlin has its roots in the partition of Germany after the Second World War. The famous Zoological Garden was now situated in the British sector of Berlin. The GDR’s state leadership wanted to establish a rival zoo of equal standing. After the division of Berlin, the East German government wanted a zoo in the eastern part of the city that was as popular as Zoo Berlin in the west.

The chosen location was the park of Friedrichsfelde manor house, designed by renowned landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné. In 1955 Europe’s biggest animal park opened – home to 130 different species. In 1963 the Alfred Brehm building opened becoming a global sensation as the world’s largest animal house at that time. The walk-through Tropical Hall featuring tall cliffs, moats and fruit bats was unique.

In the decades to come, around one million species could vanish from our planet forever – but with the right conservation measures, we can ensure that many of these endangered species are protected over the long term. With your support, Berlin’s zoological facilities can support innovative conservation projects around the world. (See here)
