Tiergarten an der Doggenburg, Cultural heritage monument and former zoo in north Stuttgart, Germany.
Tiergarten an der Doggenburg was a zoo in northern Stuttgart located next to a restaurant of the same name. The facility housed various exotic animals and served as a recreational destination for visitors.
The zoo was founded in 1912 after another animal park in the city closed, and it took in some of its animals. It operated until 1942 and was the fourth zoo in Stuttgart's history.
The place was part of Stuttgart's long tradition of making animals accessible to the public. People came here to see wild creatures, something that was still unusual and exciting in the early 1900s.
The site is located in the northern part of the city and is no longer active as a zoo. Visitors interested in exploring this history should research the exact location beforehand, as little remains of the original facility today.
The zoo combined animal exhibits with a restaurant, attracting visitors who could dine while observing wild animals. This blend of zoo and dining venue was an unusual and appealing combination for leisure in that era.
