large plans for the zoo

The existing farm is extensively rebuilt and expanded by adjacent fallow land to create more space and an improved design of the entire system. This measure is part of the master plan for the further development of the Chemnitz zoo. The construction work is divided into two sub -projects: In the first section, the site is prepared for the new animal enclosure by demolishing old systems. New ways for visitors: inside and shelves for the animals are created. The completion of this first construction phase is planned for the second quarter of 2025.

The costs for this first part amount to an impressive 250,000 euros, which are fully financed by the city of Chemnitz with funding from the assets of the parties and mass organizations of the former GDR. The second part of the project is made by the Förderverein Tierparkfreunde Chemnitz e. V. taken over, while the city invests an additional 100,000 euros for new hubs. The Chemnitz zoo had specialized in the preservation of old regional pet breeds years ago, which hardly play a role in modern agriculture and are threatened with extinction.
