Tuebingen Zoo
The Tübingen Zoo was a restaurant and discotheque in the university town of Tübingen . In August 2012 the club was closed.
history
In the early years the building housed a small animal zoo, and in the 1950s a dance hall. After a fire, the restaurant was extensively rebuilt and reopened as a socio-cultural center in 1981. For 25 years, “the zoo”, which was still called “Zentrum Zoo” until the end of 2006, shaped the cultural life in the Swabian university town - for example in the 1980s with live performances by Phillip Boa , the Toten Hosen and the Fantastischen Vier - or with festivals like Afro Brazil or with Miles Davis . The concept of combining live music and a DJ club was cultivated above all in the 1990s and was a permanent fixture on the alternative scene in Tübingen .
At the end of 2006, the report received wide coverage in the regional and national media that the zoo center would be closed. Ultimately, the zoo center changed hands and since the beginning of 2007 has been run as "Zoo Tübingen", a purely commercially oriented restaurant with an attached disco and a beer garden in summer.
At the end of August 2012, the “zoo” was finally closed due to a new fee schedule from GEMA , which, according to the club's owner, “made economic operation impossible”. The building was demolished in 2016.
