The Cologne zoo was founded in 1860. It was virtually destroyed during WW II, with only 22 animals remaining, and had to closed for two years to be rebuilt. It reopened in 1947. Below is the South American Building after the war, and today, above.
Does anyone more familiar with Cologne and it's historic buildings know if the zoo is visible in this photo below taken in 1945 illustrating the devastation that occurred as a result of the war?
