Der Zoo Wilhelma ist Europas einziger großer kombinierter zoologischer und botanischer Garten.

Wilhelma Zoo is Europe's only large combined zoological and botanical garden. (Castle Rosenstein estate - 1769–1845)

Before the construction of the palace, the hill Rosenstein Castle stands on was called Kahlenstein (German: Bald Rock) as it was bare of trees. Afterwards, it became known as Rosenstein (German: Rose Rock) because of the rose garden southeast of the palace

Wilhelma (German: [vɪlˈhɛlma] ⓘ) is a
zoological-botanical garden in Stuttgart
in the Bad Cannstatt district in the north of the city on the grounds of a historic castle.

Wilhelma Zoo is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Baden-Württemberg, seeing more than 2 million visitors annually

With his large collection of Asian plants, King Wilhelm I of Württemberg was already enjoying the blossoms at the beginning of the year in 1845 - which in this country was still the dead of winter.
The Zoo and Botanical Garden have been staffed since 1846.

Twenty-three of the monarch's original camellias can still be seen in his former retreat on the Neckar bend in Stuttgart.

Today, the zoo has an area of about 30 hectares (0.30 km2), houses around 11,500 animals from around the world composed of roughly 1,200 species and roughly 6000 plants from all climates.

Of Germany's zoos, Wilhelma's collection ranks second to the Berlin Zoological Garden.

Court Architect: Ludwig von Zanth

1842 saw the completion of the first few buildings of the Duke's bathhouse and the site received the name Wilhelma.
The imaginative von Zanth knew how to fire up the Duke's mind.
#
The abdication of King in 1918 saw Wilhelma pass into the possession of the city of Stuttgart and state of Baden-Württemberg.

Wilhelma is the only state owned zoo in Germany.

##

Wilhelma was opened to the public in 1919 as a botanical garden. A significant part of the zoo's income was the orchid collection, which brought in money by selling offspring from the garden (a practice at that time unique in Germany).

The Imperial Garden Show of 1939 took place in Stuttgart at Wilhelma.
###
Wilhelma was badly damaged during World War II Allied bombing raids during the night of October 19 and 20, 1944. The Garden and Orangery suffered extensive damage;
