Zoo am Rammelsberg

Zoo am Rammelsberg, Private zoo in Kassel, Germany.

Zoo am Rammelsberg is a small animal zoo at the northeastern foot of the Rammelsberg in Kassel's Bad Wilhelmshöhe district, in the Wahlershausen area. On about two hectares it keeps over 150 animals, with a petting zoo, a birdhouse, an aquarium, a monkey house and several terrariums, plus outdoor enclosures for native and some exotic species.

Zoo am Rammelsberg was founded in March 1974 by Horst Schwenk at the northeast foot of the Rammelsberg in Wahlershausen. Since 1999 it has been run in the second generation by Thomas and Monika Schwenk. In 2012 the operators received the Hessian state's Ehrenbrief for their work.

The petting zoo lets children touch goats and other animals, and the free entry makes the grounds accessible to local families. Thomas and Monika Schwenk, who took over the zoo in 1999, were awarded the Hessian state's Ehrenbrief in 2012 for running it.

The zoo lies in Wahlershausen, in Kassel's Bad Wilhelmshöhe district, at the northeastern foot of the Rammelsberg. Admission is free, and the operation is financed largely by donations. A small café by the entrance sells drinks, snacks and ice cream. The grounds cover about two hectares, with a petting zoo, birdhouse, aquarium, monkey house and several terrariums.
