History

The Zoos first director, Erhard Frommhold (1956-1963), developed the park into a real Zoological park,[3] and the zoo had status as a Zoo in 1960.[1]

1966 the director was followed by Kunz Rauschert (1963-1966), followed by Klaus Jacob (1966-2002).[3]

1969 was the year of arrival of the first elephant, Sundali.[4]

2002 director Klaus Jacob was retired and replaced by Dr. Jens Kämmerling.[3]

gollark: ```mrustc works by compiling assumed-valid rust code (i.e. without borrow checking) into a high-level assembly (currently using C, but LLVM/cretonne or even direct machine code could work) and getting an external code generator to turn that into optimised machine code. This works because the borrow checker doesn't have any impact on the generated code, just in checking that the code would be valid.```
