Zoo Siebenbrunner Straße 6 in München, Zoo and architectural heritage monument in Munich, Germany.
The zoo at Siebenbrunner Straße 6 forms part of Hellabrunn Zoo, covering 99 acres (40 hectares) along the Isar River floodplains and housing over 18,000 animals from more than 500 species.
Opened in 1911, this zoo became the world's first geozoo in 1928, organizing animals by continent, while its notable Elephant House dates back to 1914 and remains a landmark today.
The zoo operates as a center for environmental education and conservation, offering regular animal feeding demonstrations, bird shows, and polar bear talks that engage approximately 2.5 million annual visitors.
The zoo opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM and can be reached via U3 subway line to Thalkirchen station, with parking available at nearby lots for 6 euros.
Under the leadership of Rasem Baban, an architect rather than a biologist since 2014, the zoo maintains its status as a protected architectural monument while focusing on modern animal care.
