Minizoo Teplice

Today is the name of the mini-zoo used for breeding of monkeys at Castle Garden, but in 30s in Teplice there was a larger mini-zoo, which had around 180 animals. Mini-zoo was operated by the guild "Aquarium a spolek pro přírodní vědy" ("Aquarium and Guild of Natural Science") and supported by Heinrich Lumpe (see Lumpepark). Only very little information about the mini-zoo is available. The Guild was founded in 1925, thus probably the mini-zoo at the turn of the 20s and 30s. It was located somewhere opposite the District Court, where is also the Castle Garden... Whether there is any connection between this small zoo, and today's "mini-zoo" in the Castle Garden is unclear. Likewise, there is no information about the end of this mini-zoo.
