Leipzig Zoo had been hoping for such an event for quite […]
There’s great excitement at Leipzig Zoo over this little cuddly wonder! For the past two weeks, a curious little nose has been peeking out now and then from the pouch of Erlinga, the female koala.

In Leipzig’s African savannah, the Kiwara Kopje, the sun also beats down mercilessly on shrubs, trees and wildlife. There are shady shelters, […]
The good news: for children spending their holidays at home, the holiday pass goes on sale today, packed with loads of exciting offers and benefits for the summer. What’s more, the journey to school in Engelsdorf is set to become safer. Today’s prayer for peace is dedicated to Jewish Week. But here’s the big news: […]
