Happy Birthday, Hagenbeck

Hagenbeck's 100 this year. Hagenbeck is the illustrious zoo in Hamburg. It's too expensive to EVER go there, sadly. But I still love it. Although it was not even IN Hamburg when it was founded (but in Stellingen), it is today one of the most famous places in this city and definitely worth the visit.

It is one of the first zoos in Germany whose owners cared about proper animal care, and while I don't really agree with the existence of zoos in general, I am happy that there were and are people who want to ensure that animals in captivity have a better life.
