Elephant Breeding in Weißenfels Approved by the City CouncilImagine this: Weißenfels, an idyllic town on the Saale River — inhabited by elephants! At every corner, you could see these majestic animals strolling through the parks or enjoying their daily outdoor exercise. Sounds like a crazy dream? Yet, this could have actually become reality! In 1897, the city council of Weißenfels actually granted a businessman from Merseburg permission to breed elephants within the town. Back then, it was a visionary startup that aimed to turn Weißenfels into the center of elephant breeding in Germany. Zoos and circuses would have sourced their elephants from here, and the citizens of the town could have experienced daily encounters with these giants of the animal kingdom. What would that look like today? The streets of Weißenfels would be populated by elephants leisurely wandering between historic buildings. Tourists from all over the world would come here to witness a unique spectacle. The people of Weißenfels would have access to one of Europe’s most exotic attractions: elephant enclosures right in the middle of town, where the animals — according to the regulations of the time — would enjoy their lives outdoors. Even the elephants’ mating rituals could have been observed for a small fee — an event otherwise only seen in distant safari documentaries. But why did this dream remain unfulfilled? What happened to the elephant breeding that was supposed to turn Weißenfels into an animal paradise? Watch our video and discover the incredible story of a startup that nearly turned Weißenfels into the “Elephant Capital”! You won’t believe what was planned — and why it ultimately didn’t work out.
