Highlights from the history of zoos

At the playground, one of the darlings of zoo history is making a brilliant comeback on the occasion of the 160-year existence of the zoo: here is the illuminated replica of the "Zoo-Lok", which has made children's hearts beat faster for decades.

Polar bears will also have a new home at Cologne Zoo during the China Light Festival. At the end of the tour, FC mascot "Hennes IX." is waiting.

The Chinese light artists proudly show the freshly reigning heraldic animal as a luminous replica with magnificent horns and a shaggy beard. A must - not only for fans of the 1st FC Cologne.
