Title	Cincinnati Zoological Gardens German Guidebook
Subject	Immigration and Ethnic Heritage Arts and Entertainment Zoos
Place	Cincinnati (Ohio) Hamilton County (Ohio)
Description	This German-language guidebook to the Cincinnati Zoological Gardens, entitled "Fuhrer Durch Den Zoological Garten zu Cincinnati" was created for Cincinnati's large German population. It contains 78 pages of information about the animals on exhibit, which ranged from exotic species like alligators and tigers to more common animals like Shetland ponies. The book measures 4.75 by 7.25 inches (12.07 by 18.42 cm). In 1875, the Cincinnati Zoological Gardens opened for public display. The zoo had begun earlier in the decade through the efforts of Andrew Erkenbrecher, a German immigrant. Influenced by European zoos, Erkenbrecher and the other trustees planned to place their animals in naturalistic, more rural settings than the menageries of New York or Chicago. They also were in frequent communication with zoologists in Germany. Building on the German tradition of music in the zoo, concerts were held near the restaurant for benefits of visitors.
