The Stralsund Zoo (also Stralsund Tierpark ) is an institution for the care of native animal species in the Hanseatic city of Stralsund . The area by the city forest covers around 16 hectares . The zoo was recognized as a " zoological garden " in 2005 , but continued to use the name "zoo". In addition to numerous native animals, many animals from other continents are also shown. Keeping a large group of white donkeys is very rare in Germany .
There is also an original arable house that has been moved here ; In addition, the Mahnkesche Mühle (former location: Mahnkesche Wiese ) was rebuilt here.

Deer and deer enclosure Küterbastion
1928 Stralsund teacher Frido Schmidt founded the "Tiergarten club Stralsund" which in 1928 on the Küterbastion before Kütertor an enclosure for deer and deer docked. The animals could be viewed free of charge, the association financed the operation of the enclosure through donations. Due to the difficult supply situation during World War II, the enclosure had to be closed on March 8, 1944.
Fasanerie Küterbastion
After the Second World War, a school garden was initially laid out on the site. In the adjacent Knieperteich, traditional swan breeding, documented as early as 1630, was resumed in 1956 .
The area on the Küterbastion was far too small for a zoo, so the gardening authority of the city of Stralsund set up a pheasantry there in 1959 , which opened for the 3rd Baltic Sea Week with four aviaries for ornamental poultry and an enclosure with rhesus monkeys . The pheasantry was completed in 1960 and a terrarium was added in 1962 . The facility was renovated in 1989, but had to be closed in 1993 after 34 years of operation, as it had repeatedly become the target of destruction and theft within a short period of time. Today there is a children's playground at this point.
Zoo in the city forest
In the urban forest of the city also in 1959 the first open-air enclosure for were wild created, which formed the foundation of today's zoos. The goal was a game reserve without a fence; however, this was given up in 1964 and the zoo was fenced in. In 1960 additional facilities were created for red deer and aviaries for red fox and wolf , and in 1961 facilities for ponies and donkeys , nutrias , raccoons , raccoon dogs and two brown bears were added. In 1964 a breeding success could be reported for the first time; Caucasian dwarf zebus were exchanged for the donkeys raised .
In the next few years, under the direction of Hartmut Olejnik, following a fundamental decision in 1965 , the zoo was systematically expanded into a home zoo with the help of many voluntary helpers and help from Stralsund businesses and institutions. Entry was free from 1965 to 1969, after which an entrance fee had to be paid into a "trust fund".
Numerous new buildings were erected up to the 10th zoo festival, which was regularly celebrated: 1962 a bird of prey aviary, 1964 a farm building, 1966 the sheep enclosure, 1967 the cattle enclosure, 1968 a supply kiosk. In 1969 a memorial stone was inaugurated.
In the next ten years the animal population and the reputation of the Stralsund facility grew within the zoos of the German Democratic Republic , but also internationally. This is proven again in 1970 by the first offspring among bears. An enclosure for pumas and the open-air theater were built in 1970. In 1971 the zoo became an independent city-sponsored facility. This year, for the first time, over 100,000 visitors were counted: 110,810 people also looked at the horse stables created in 1971, the rabbit enclosure and the water fowl pond .
In 1973 the construction of the monkey house began, which was completed in 1974. Since 1974, visitors have also had to pay their entrance fee at a ticket office.
A multi-purpose hall was completed in 1978 and a social building in 1981. In 1982 the area of the zoo was greatly expanded. Many of the facilities have been renovated and expanded. In the 1980s, the zoo was shown on GDR television in a zoo TV series. In 1984 an aviary was built for the Stralsund high flyers , and in 1986 the parrot house. In 1991 the entrance was moved from Barther Strasse to Grünhufer Bogen .
In 2005 a new, larger house with an outdoor enclosure was opened for the monkeys, for which many people from Stralsund had donated.
In 2006 a new, spacious enclosure was opened for the brown bear Jule ; work is currently being carried out on an enlarged leopard enclosure.
From 2006 to 2011, the Mahnkesche Mühle was removed from its original location and rebuilt true to the original on the zoo grounds.
With the help of sponsors and animal sponsorships, the operation of the zoo is to be secured and expanded.
