Animals almost like in the wild

The Frankfurt (Oder) wildlife park is part of the city forest in the Rosengarten district and is around 16 hectares in size. The site is designed like a park. On the site, many animals move freely and similar to those in the wild. The wildlife park also includes a pond landscape, an apiary and a petting zoo, which children especially love. Among other things, mountain goats, sheep, llamas, red deer, pot-bellied pigs, raccoons and foxes live in the Frankfurt Wildlife Park.

In 1999, the first animals were settled on the site. The site was previously used primarily for military purposes. First there was a firing range of the grenadier barracks of the Imperial German Army. From 1945 the Soviet military used the firing range until 1994. Over the next few years, the area quickly began to become overgrown and was rebuilt by the park's founders. The first new residents were about 40 fallow deer and three wild boars. The wildlife park was opened on June 1st, 2000.
