Have you ever wondered about the question?
If you go to the zoo, you can see the animals without having the fence in
front of your eyes. That was not always like that. And most zoos learned that
from a zoo in German, like Ueno-Zoo in Tokyo.
The zoo is called "Hagenbeck's Tierpark", Tierpark means animal park, and
that's what it really is. The park was build about 100 years ago, in the
outskirts of Hamburg. Founder Hagenbeck wanted to make a park that would
allow the animals to live in an environment similiar to their natural
environment. So he build natural barriers such as moats instead of cages
with wires. His idea was patented.
In Hamburg we say:
"Hamburg doesn't have a zoo, Hamburg has Hagenbeck!"
It is also remarkable to know that Hagenbeck is a private institution. The
park is one of the biggest parks in the world (you need one day) but lives
entirely by donations and entrance fees. It is still lead by a Hagenbeck.
The name Hagenbeck also became famous because of their circus, which travelled
the entire world before WWII and was founded 1887.
If you have a chance --- go to Hamburg.
