Our Theme World: Animals
Animal Hall – Hall 25
One of the biggest attractions at Grüne Woche is our Animal Hall 25, where breeders present their farm animals.
Along with plenty of useful & interesting information, the animals are presented, 3 times/day in the demonstration ring: cattle, donkeys, mules, horses, sheep, goats or all of them together. Plan your visit to the arena for a really special show! Demonstrations took place daily.
Experts will be available at the exhibition stands to explain all about species-appropriate care and husbandry.
Other highlights include our national shows for various horse breeds (sport ponies, draft horses, fjord horses, robust ponies) and cattle breeds (Fleckvieh cattle, beef cattle "Schwarz Rot Gold - Robust", Angus cattle and Uckermärker). In 2023 the FN’s German National Sport Pony show was opening the program.
The Society for the Preservation of Old and Endangered Livestock Breeds (GEH) presents the endangered livestock breed of the year in the Animal Hall. The starting point of the annually changing event is determined on the first Saturday of the fair in the demonstration ring.
World of pets
This is where domesticated animals and pets, from alpacas to ornamental fish, are presented. Exhibitors show popular and exotic house pets in aquariums, terrariums, aviaries and compounds. All current and future animal lovers will have plenty of opportunities to speak with breeders, experts and association representatives regarding proper animal welfare and feeding. Questions about responsible dog ownership and preventive health, as well as the advantages of various dog breeds, can be put to the experts here.
Proud pure-bred cats, such as the Siberian Forest Cat, Somali Cornish Rex, Ragdoll and British Shorthair, will be on display as well as the colorful, shimmering underwater world of aquariums and, of course, stick insects, praying mantises and hairy tarantulas. Rodents, lizards and snakes will also be on display – truly, something for everyone! Last but not least, donkeys and alpacas – as well as bee colonies – will be in their temporary quarters in Hall 26, where there will be information for budding beekeepers, too.
Throughout the duration of the year, the activity space will feature countless animal demonstrations.
