Tierpark Wolgast

Tierpark Wolgast, Regional zoo in Wolgast, Germany.

Tierpark Wolgast occupies about ten hectares of forest in the Tannenkamp area on the northern edge of Wolgast. It keeps roughly 400 animals of 52 species, including kangaroos and emus sharing one enclosure, and has a nature trail and a petting enclosure. A brown bear resting on a flat stone with a mossy log behind it is among the animals.

Wolgast citizens built the zoo largely through volunteer labour in the Tannenkamp forest, a local outing spot since the 1920s. Construction began in October 1960 before official approval, which came on 23 March 1963, after the opening on 1 May 1961. Rostock Zoo supplied two brown bears and a collared bear for the opening; Leipzig Zoo donated further animals. From the first bear cubs in 1965/66, the park ran a successful bear-breeding programme supplying zoos across the GDR. On 1 May 1981 the city council took over the site from the Stralsund state forestry enterprise, and after 1990 many enclosures were enlarged or replaced.

The park is run by the association "Tierpark Tannenkamp Wolgast e. V.", founded on 24 April 1994, which has held the site since then. Its name "Heimattiergarten" reflects its role as the town's local animal park, and since 2005 it has kept brown lemurs received from the Parc Merveilleux in Luxembourg, breeding them successfully.

The zoo lies on about ten hectares of forest at the northern edge of Wolgast, in the Tannenkamp residential area. Paths run through the wooded grounds, so sturdy shoes help. A nature trail and a petting enclosure are part of the route; the kangaroo and emu share one enclosure.

Tierpark Wolgast is the only zoo in Germany to have bred brown lemurs successfully. It received the animals in March 2005 from Parc Merveilleux in Luxembourg, and offspring have been raised since. The park also bred bears from 1965/66 onward, supplying zoos across the GDR with descendants.
