Danube River Wildlife Excellence
Historic Municipal Zoo Legacy Established in 1935, Tiergarten Ulm represents nine decades of municipal wildlife conservation along the beautiful Danube River. This charming facility has evolved into a model of sustainable zoo management while maintaining its intimate, family-friendly character.
Danube Ecosystem Focus Set in the scenic Friedrichsau park along the Danube River, the zoo emphasizes European and regional wildlife conservation, showcasing native species in naturalistic habitats while supporting international conservation efforts.
Educational Excellence As a municipal facility, the zoo serves as an accessible educational resource for the Ulm metropolitan region, offering comprehensive environmental education programs that connect local residents with global conservation challenges.
Conservation Integration Despite its compact size, the zoo maintains active participation in breeding programs and conservation initiatives while conducting important research on native species protection.
Community Partnership The zoo's integration with Ulm's cultural and educational institutions demonstrates how municipal zoos can serve as community conservation centers while providing exceptional wildlife experiences.
