Nollendorfplatz U-Bahn station

Highlight • Monument

Was during the separation of Germany years for a flea market in subway trains. After the fall of the wall but soon the connection of the East and West Berlin subway lines was restored and the Nolle got back to its original task, namely to be a station.

Elephant Gate, Berlin Zoological Garden

Highlight • Monument

The Asian-style elephant gate gives the zoo a New York city flair. In the midst of traffic, shopping centers and hotels, the two reclining elephants made of light sandstone shine like an oasis. The original entrance area dates from 1898 and 1899. At that time, the portal also included an administration building, apartments for zoo employees and other outbuildings. Today, the ticket offices and the zoo shop are located here, among other things. The construction costs of the facility at the time amounted to 277,336 marks. In November 1943, the facility was completely destroyed in a bombing raid. From 1983 to 1985, the elephant gate was reconstructed - the outbuildings were simplified, however, and the fence system was slightly modified. Today, the gate with its elephants is one of the most popular photo motifs in the City West. Have you ever taken a photo here?

Lion Gate Entrance, Berlin Zoo

Highlight • Monument

Berlin at the turn of the century: The wealthy Charlottenburg lies far outside the city gates and the Berlin Zoological Garden is located in a swampy landscape halfway there. Well-heeled Berliners travel out of the city by cab, through the forest, which will later become Berlin's largest park. The rest of the population only reaches the entrance at the north-eastern end of the zoo grounds after a long walk. With Charlottenburg's connection to the subway, more and more visitors come to the zoo and an entrance is needed at the western end of the zoo that allows direct access to local transport. As a stage for the politics of the Prussian state, the third zoo entrance also had to be representative: in 1909, the stately Lion Gate was opened.

More than 100 years later, the king of the animals still sits majestically above the entrance and proudly watches over the millions of visitors who pass through it every year.

October 22, 2025,2️⃣2️⃣.1️⃣0️⃣.2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ - Berliner Zoo 😍

Hello everyone 🤗
My mistress wanted to go to the Berlin Zoo this year, after we'd ignored it for so long 😱
So, before things got too uncomfortable 🌧️💨, we quickly booked tickets online and off we went 🏃‍♀️ 🏃
The S-Bahn ride was another disaster. "Animals on the track," so instead of 45 minutes, we took a detour, which …

For today's anniversary, the hippos in Berlin Zoo were visited.

We took part in a small but nice feeding of the hippos.

September 6, 2025,Ein Besuch im Zoo / Berlin

After decades—one could almost say—I'm back at the zoo. A lot has changed, and construction is still ongoing. It's encouraging that the big cats are finally getting a proper home. And without children, it's a completely different feeling. I can stand in front of an animal and observe it for as long as my patience lasts.

May 30, 2024,Besuch im Berliner Zoo mit 🐼🐼

Some of you will have already guessed that no visit to Berlin is complete without a visit to the zoo. Berlin also has two pandas 🐼 and many other animals 🐨. We looked at everything today and were amazed at everything there is to see. 👀

October 11, 2024,B: Auf geht`s in den Berliner Zoo

10/11/24: Early in the morning, we went to the Berlin Zoological Garden. We were really looking forward to it, as it had been a long time since our last visit. We took a long walk around the grounds, where modernized and new enclosures were embedded in a park with old trees. Most of the animals are housed in large areas …
