    The Electoral Zoo was the largest project in terms of area of the Cologne Archbishop and Elector Maximilian Heinrich von Bayer (1621 - 1688). A huge area of the adjacent forests was initially fenced off with fences, later with ramparts and embankments (similar to a landwehr) - which enclosed entire mountains and valleys. The game kept there was intended to satisfy the hunting passion of the Elector and his guests. The enclosure had become necessary because the game population had declined sharply during the Thirty Years' War. A shooting range in the form of a roundabout was created for the Elector and his guests at the highest point of the zoo, which is still visible today.
    Today the area of the former zoo is part of the Obereimer nature reserve. The path through the zoo is beautiful to drive through, as it is in its natural state.
