Leintalzoo Schwaigern, Animal park in Leingarten, Germany
The Leintalzoo extends across 14 hectares of land, featuring natural ponds, flower meadows, and specialized enclosures for approximately 250 animals from 40 different species.
Peter Geßmann founded the zoo in 1980 after rescuing orphaned chimpanzees from Cameroon, establishing a facility dedicated to primate care and rehabilitation.
The zoo organizes four daily feeding demonstrations of its chimpanzee group, allowing visitors to observe the social behaviors of these primates.
The facility operates year-round from 10 AM, with extended hours during summer months and earlier closures in winter, offering separate pricing for adults and children.
The zoo maintains Germany's largest chimpanzee group, housing 30 individuals in two expansive outdoor enclosures with glass viewing windows.
