Zoo Stuffed Animals and the Oldest Zoo in the World
Zoo stuffed animals are made up of a menagerie of different plush toys. They can include lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes, and zebras, to name just a few of the more popular choices. Using zoo stuffed animals to start a collection of soft toys is a wonderful way to amass all sorts of your favorite wild animals.
Tiergarten Schönbrunn or the Vienna Zoo, is the oldest zoo in the world. It was founded in 1752 and is located on the grounds of the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria. The zoo is steeped in history dating back to Empress Maria Theresia and her husband Franz Stephan Von Lothringren.
In 1745, when Franz Stephan (Franz I) was chosen as the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nations, he commissioned architect Nicholas der Ville-Issey to design a menagerie at the Habsburg-Lothringren summer home which was located in the park of Schönbrunn.
The design was made up of 12 enclosures that also had the same size animal houses. In addition, an administrative/technical building was also created which opened into the garden area. Eventually, the entire complex came to be known at the "loggia circle." There was also a pond and two farmyards that had additional buildings. The entire area was separated by a wall from the rest of the Castle gardens and neighboring properties.
After a year of construction, in 1752, animals were finally brought to the zoo and put on 'display' for the public. In 1828, the first giraffe arrived at Schönbrunn, presented to the zoo as a gift from the Viceroy of Egypt. Its arrival was so popular, the zoo recorded a record number of visits and it went on to influence not only fashion, but also the handicrafts industry and social life in Vienna. The giraffe motif was also used on clothing, gloves and other objects which were of use daily. A hairstyle was even created as well as a perfume called "à la Giraffe." Up until World War I, Viennese bakeries also created and sold a giraffe cake and a type of pastry called "Giraffeln." Author and Viennese theater director, Adolf Bäuerle also wrote a play called "Die Giraffe in Wien oder alles à la Giraffe" and two musical pieces.
The giraffe house, which is still standing today, along with two bear cages and a monkey house (both of which no longer exist), were influenced by the architectural heritage of the Biedermeier period (a style developed in Germany in the 19th century) in Schönbrunn, at the time.
Zoo stuffed animals consider themselves quite fortunate that they are not confined to cages and enclosures in a zoo. While it's true they may have to sit on a shelf for a while until they are chosen to move to their own 'home,' zoo stuffed animals enjoy freedoms the real animals in living in zoos can only ever dream about.
