Haustierhof Reutemühle, Animal park in Überlingen, Germany
Haustierhof Reutemühle is a farm with a public zoo in Überlingen-Bambergen, north of Überlingen on the road toward Bad Saulgau. The entrance area holds the stables and enclosures plus the Kellerschenke inn; behind it, a circular path passes outdoor enclosures with play equipment for children. The farm keeps suckler cows, pension horses and sheep on about 50 hectares of grassland and orchard meadows.
The site was first documented in 1280 and served for centuries as a grain and oil mill; around 1900 it became a grain mill with sideline farming. The animal park opened in 1994 and has been enlarged since. The farm is entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest collection of endangered breeds.
