Tiergarten Nill, Cultural heritage zoo in Stuttgart, Germany

The Tiergarten Nill extended across 9,500 square meters in Stuttgart, featuring exhibits of native and exotic animals within custom-built enclosures and multiple ponds.

Johannes Nill, a master carpenter, established this private zoo in 1871, starting with local animals in self-constructed cages at his business premises on Herdweg.

The zoological garden hosted ethnographic exhibitions and events, including the Hagenbeck's Tierra del Fuego people presentation in autumn 1881.

The facility maintained over 500 animals at its peak, including elephants, zebras, lions, monkeys, snakes, and tropical birds across different sections.

The zoo achieved the first recorded successful breeding of giant anteaters through collaboration with zoologist Gustav Jäger.
