Kleve Zoo (Germany)

The Tiergarten Kleve is a zoo in Kleve (North Rhine-Westphalia), Germany. It is home to about 300 animals. The Zoo came into existence when Dr. Heinz Will, lawyer and respected citizen of Kleve, acquired two orphaned piglets from wild boars in 1959. dr. Will got the two unfortunate piglets from a ranger and he built them a small fence. Along with his love for animals, it was the beginning of the creation of a zoo on Tiergartenstrasse (Zoo Street) where he was looking for a property to expand the number of animals he kept for a hobby. At the same time, he founded an association to manage the zoo.

Prince Johann Moritz von Nassau-​Siegen (1604−1679) who once, as gov­er­nor, led the Duchy of Cleves, trans­formed the sur­round­ings of Kleve into a baroque park land­scape that was almost with­out equal in the 17th cen­tury. His plans had a great influ­ence on gar­den designs through­out Europe and became the model for the cas­tle park of Sanssouci in Pots­dam, amongst oth­ers. The park included a zoo and the street along the zoo was named Tier­garten­strasse. Although the ani­mals were not intended to be show­cased, but merely to be shot, the his­toric zoo was open to the pub­lic. This was extra­or­di­nary in those days.

The main part of the ani­mal col­lec­tion com­prises rare farm ani­mal breeds, that more or less became redun­dant in present day mod­ern agri­cul­ture which requires high yields deliv­ered by the newly cre­ated uni­form breeds. Kleve Zoo plays an impor­tant role in breed­ing these rare farm ani­mal species. The major­ity of these farm ani­mals are sheep breeds, such as Soay sheep, Jacob sheep, Bentheimer Lan­drace and Coburg fox sheep, and goats, such as Bul­gar­ian goat, Thuringian goat and Tauern­sheck. In addi­tion the farm ani­mal col­lec­tion com­prises sev­eral don­key species (Poitou don­key, white Barock don­key and stan­dard don­key), bovine species (Hun­gar­ian steppe cat­tle, Pinz­gau cat­tle) and swine species (Angeln sad­dle­back, Ben­theim black pied, blond Mangalitsa).

Apart from the farm ani­mals, the Zoo also keeps sev­eral wild ani­mal species. While most of the wild species are of Least Con­cern, a few are clas­si­fied as threat­ened (i.e. kulan and Prze­wal­ski horse, Endan­gered, and red panda, Vul­ner­a­ble) accord­ing to the IUCN Red List, while zoos’ con­ser­va­tion efforts are most impor­tant for those species threat­ened with extinc­tion in the wild. Enter­tain­ment includ­ing ani­mals is lim­ited to the feed­ing of the har­bour seals twice daily. Enter­tain­ment includ­ing ani­mals is lim­ited to the feed­ing of the har­bour seals twice daily.
