The Tierpark Kalletal was a small zoo in the municipality of Kalletal in the Lippe district .
The zoo temporarily housed up to 100 native and exotic animals in around 20 species. Wolves, tigers (including dressage), brown bears, dingoes, monkeys, golden jackals, pigs, panthers and raccoons are named. Attractions were the daily feedings and the wolf and cat evenings. The zoo was founded in 1969 by the doctor Heinrich Stocksmeier as an association zoo. In 1995 the zoo became the property of the Geenen family. The wolf evenings took place as part of the wolf school led by the last zoo manager Dirk Neumann. Here a special kind of dressage was demonstrated, in which humans act as part of the pack and not the "alpha wolf".
In December 2009 the Lippe district refused the zoo's operating license after another change of ownership. The zoo was closed for the time being.
On March 25, 2010, the last four tigers were removed from the zoo, then the last two monkeys; with that all animals have left the zoo.
