70 years of Tierpark Berlin
On July 2, 1955, Tierpark Berlin opened its gates for the first time. What began with around 400 animals has, nearly 70 years later, become Europe's largest landscape zoo. Spread across 160 hectares, many animal species – some of them endangered – have found a home here. Since its founding, this place has not only enchanted generations of visitors, but has also become an important institution for conservation, education, and recreation.
