Founded in 1957, it covers 5 hectares (12.4 acres) and houses 500 animals from 100 species and also some types of domestic breeds.

Among the first enclosures was for wild boars and roe deers, a pony stable, and "Bärenzwinger", a cage for brown bears, followed, in the early 1960s, by enclosures for fallow deers, monkeys and a bird aviary, as well as a kitchen to prepare foods for the animals.
