Leipzig Wildlife Park

On the grounds of the wildlife park are the Jungfernlache and Panichs Lache, two oxbow lakes of the Pleiße and Weißer Elster in their common floodplain.

In 1904, the city council received four fallow deers from the mill owner Richard Jacob from Connewitz, for which a preserve was set up in the Stempel territory location.

In 1912 a refuge was opened, which served milk, tea, mineral water and baked goods, before a wildlife park restaurant was built in 1922 in the zone of today's farm.

However, the proximity to a local recreation area turned out to be a disadvantage, as the many excursionists constantly worried the animals.

[1] The Second World War ended the development of the wildlife park and brought its complete destruction, including the restaurant.
