A short history for Dählhölzli
1873 a small zoo with deer and bison was created below the Bierhübeli Engehalde. 1900 William Gabus , watchmakers in Le Locle,donated to the city of Bern 150 000 CHF to establish an animal park. In 1937 the Dählhölzli was opened. The first director of the zoo was veterinarian, Dr. Paul Badertscher. 1938 they chose the young zoologist Heini Hediger, as Dr. administrator. He was responsible for the Dählhölzli to 1943. From 1943 to 1969, Ms. Professor Monika Meyer-Holzapfel desided the fate of the zoo. The number of animal species in the vivarium is enlarged, outside it, new enclosure where erected. "The animal park Dählhölzli is the Berners Zoo", which was the motto of Prof. Hannes Sägesser, zoo director from 1979 until his death suddenly in January 1991. At the time of the fifth administrator, Dr. Max Müller (1991-1996), a trend toward exotic animals took place (Wallaby, capybara). In 1997, Dr. Bernd Schildger became director of the zoo Dählhölzli. He heads the zoo with the motto: "More space for fewer animals" - for the sake of the animals and the joy of the people!
