Collectors' Meeting - Zoohistorica
The international annual meeting of collectors of zoo literature and memorabilia exists for over 15 years - here is the invitation to this years meeting:
Zoohistorica Leipzig / Halle 2011
The 22nd annual meeting of collectors of zoo literature and memorabilia is taking place in Leipzig and Halle from September 4th to September 6th.
At the 20th Zoohistorica in Mulhouse in 2009, we voted to accept invitations of the Leipzig Zoological Garden and the Halle Zoological Garden to hold our 22nd annual
collectors’ meeting for the second time in Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. Last year in Landau we confirmed the venue and set the date for the first weekend of September.
The highlight of the zoo year will be the inauguration of Leipzig Zoo’s spectacular new tropical house, Gondwanaland.
Programme (Modifications reserved):
Friday, September 2, ice-breaker from 7 p. m. onwards in Auerbachs Keller, Mädler-Passage, Grimmaische Straße 2 – 4, 04109 Leipzig.
Saturday, September 3, in Zoologischen Garten Leipzig, Pfaffendorfer Straße 29, 04105 Leipzig:
Sunday, September 4, beginning at 11 a. m., guided tours through the Zoologischen Garten Halle, Fasanenstraße 5, 06114 Halle an der Saale.
Fees
€35.00 include entrance to both zoos, dinner on Saturday (w/o drinks), the group photograph and a portfolio. Accompanying persons pay €30.00.
Registration and payment
Our hosts in Leipzig would prefer that all remittances are paid by bank transfer, and not by cash. That obviously means that I will need money on an account.
(Nor am I really keen to run around Leipzig and Halle and drive back to Hamburg with a couple of thousand euros of other people’s money in my pocket!) However,
if you are reading this in English, you are most likely living outside the European Currency Union, which would mean that you may have to pay unreasonably high bank
charges for a transfer to a German account. Participants thus living in Britain or elsewhere outside the ECU can still pay by cash when registering in Leipzig personally
on the morning of September 3. If circumstances do permit you to pay by bank transfer, my special account number for this meeting is IBAN: DE24 2007 0024 0895 7995 10, BIC
(Swift code): DEUTDEDBHAM. Reference: Zoohistorica 2011. Please give my name as the recipient [and let me know in whose name(s) the transfer is being made]. Because
Zoohistorica is not a registered charity, the account must be in my name (anti-money-laundering law). As our hosts obviously need planning dependability, whether or not
you do pay by bank transfer, please do let me know by Monday, August 22, at the very latest if you are coming. Any cancellations please make by Monday, August 29, at
the latest; I am personally responsible for the number of participants given after that date. Fees already transferred to my account I would then return in full. When
making your pre-registration, please let me know what your special collecting interests are, if you have any. Please also advise if you require a table for the trade fair,
whether or not you will be joining us in Halle on Sunday, and – this too is important to know! – whether or not you will want to attend the Friday evening get-together
at Auerbachs Keller. Luther, Leibniz, Bach, Goethe, Nietzsche, Wagner and the founder of Leipzig’s zoo, Pinkert, were all regular visitors to this ancient inn!
Lodging
As a trade-fair centre since the Middle Ages, Leipzig boasts a plethora of hotels, from reasonable to luxurious, including several within walking distance of the zoo. For
the first weekend of September, fortunately, no fair is scheduled, at least no important one, but it might still be a good idea to book well in advance, as soon as
you definitely know that you will be coming. The internet obviously offers many search options; if you would like any advice from me, just let me know.
See you hopefully in September!

What happens at a collectors' meeting?
Have a look at the schedule of the 18th meeting which took place in Hamburg
Friday, August 31st 2007
Saturday, September 1st 2007
Sunday, September 2nd 2007
starting at 7 p. m. at Mendelssohn’s, Julius-Vosseler-Strasse 40, in Lokstedt, Hamburg. The tavern is located in New Living Home, where many participants
will be lodging. The building is just across the street from Hagenbecks Tierpark tube station; the best way out is sign-posted. The Underground runs on
Fridays (and Saturdays) throughout the night, with a train every 20 minutes. Free parking is available to the left of New Living Home as well as behind it.
starting at 9 a. m. in Loktstedter Grenzstrasse on the border between Stellingen and Lokstedt in north-central Hamburg. Taking the motorway exit at
Hamburg-Stellingen; the rest of the way to the zoo is sign-posted. Lokstedter Grenzstrasse turns off Koppelstrasse, a main road, towards the north.
Coming from New Living Home, the street is just around the corner walking or driving westwards. You will find a map of the neighbourhood on Hagenbeck’s
website, www.hagenbeck.de. Once in Lokstedter Grenzstrasse, walk or drive past the new main entrance (easily spotted from Koppelstrasse) perhaps 100 metres
to a gate posted Tor 2. That is the entrance to this year’s Zoohistorica in the meeting rooms of the new Tropical Aquarium. A large public car park is
just across the street; the fee for the whole day is € 2.50. If you are lucky, you may find free parking still available in the street. There is a very
small courtyard next to our entrance for deliveries to the Aquarium with its restaurant and to the Elephant House. If you have heavy loads to unload and
find the courtyard empty, please do not leave your car there unattended, and leave the site immediately once you have unloaded your cases. Please register
first at the entrance; if you have a stand you will be advised where to best find space. The trade fair is spread over three large rooms, one on the ground
floor and two upstairs. A lift is available behind the entrance to the right. From the rooms upstairs you will have direct access to the Aquarium’s
restaurant; we also have our own WC. We hope to inaugurate Zoohistorica 18 at 10 a. m. and gather first for our group portrait. The programme as announced
in the first circular is still valid.

Collectors' meeting 2009
Various pictures of the collectors' meetings are now available at www.zoohistorica.org/photos
The 20th International meeting of collectors of zoo literature and memorabilia was held on the last weekend of August 2009 at
the Parc Zoologique et Botanique de Mulhouse (France). It was be the first time an event like this took place at a French zoo! In addition,
Zoohistorica 2009 was the twentieth meeting since the first which took place at Hanover Zoo in Germany in 1990.
The event was a real success with no fewer than 92 participants from seven European countries.
A retrospection of this year's meeting can be found here.
