The "Bierer Berg" animal park has existed since 1973 and is located in a park that was laid out on a hill about 100 years ago. In the park, which has an area of 2.4 hectares, there are animal enclosures, a Bismarck Tower, a Bismarck Monument, an adventure playground for children, a "Café & Bistro" and an open-air stage with a capacity of 650 seats. The zoo itself is home to 260 animals of 52 species. The focus is on the domestic animal complex with donkeys, miniature pigs, Rhön sheep, pygmy goats, mute geese, pigeons and chickens. Aviaries for various native birds and mammals such as hoopoes, lovebirds, harvest mice and hamsters, pine martens and wild cats are distributed throughout the park. Another focus is the keeping of small mammals. Species such as chipmunks, squirrels, Cuban tree rats, gerbils and chinchillas can be mentioned here. The different types of guinea pigs are important for zoologically interested breeders. Four species are kept; including the swamp guinea pig (Cavia magna) and the moco or rock guinea pig (Kerodon rupestris). Every year, in the months of June/July and July/August, the Schönebeck Operetta Summer takes place here. At the end of August, the big Bierer Berg Festival is celebrated.
