Berlin at the turn of the century: The wealthy Charlottenburg lies far outside the city gates and the Berlin Zoological Garden is located in a swampy landscape halfway there. Well-heeled Berliners travel out of the city by cab, through the forest, which will later become Berlin's largest park. The rest of the population only reaches the entrance at the north-eastern end of the zoo grounds after a long walk. With Charlottenburg's connection to the subway, more and more visitors come to the zoo and an entrance is needed at the western end of the zoo that allows direct access to local transport. As a stage for the politics of the Prussian state, the third zoo entrance also had to be representative: in 1909, the stately Lion Gate was opened.

More than 100 years later, the king of the animals still sits majestically above the entrance and proudly watches over the millions of visitors who pass through it every year.

The Lion Gate is the Zoologischer Garten underground station. There is also a large car park in front of it. So getting there and back is no problem.

The majestic Lion Gate was opened in 1909. More than 100 years later, the king of the animals still stands majestically above the entrance and proudly watches over the millions of visitors who walk through the magnificent gate every year.
