Witthausbusch

Witthausbusch is a public park in Mülheim an der Ruhr featuring an animal enclosure that displays rare domestic breeds such as White Horned Heath sheep and Thuringian Forest goats in naturalistic settings. A small stream runs through the grounds, connecting the different sections of the site.

In 1900, local industrialists and a civic beautification association transformed this land into a public park for the community. Since 2014, the site has operated as a specialized facility for protecting endangered domestic animal breeds.

The park honors two significant local figures with monuments positioned above the stream that winds through the grounds. Visitors encounter these memorials while exploring the different areas of the site.

The park is accessible by public transport and invites leisurely walks through its different areas. Wear comfortable shoes as the grounds feature slopes and multiple pathways to explore.

The site became one of the first facilities of its kind in the region, attracting people interested in learning about rare heritage animal breeds. This focus on endangered breeds makes it a special place for visitors curious about traditional farming practices.
