Tierheim und Tierschutzverein Stuttgart und Umgebung e.V.

In the location's words:

Almost 190 years of animal welfare in Stuttgart and Württemberg

The first animal protection association in Germany (and on the continent) was founded in Stuttgart in 1837 and thus gave the starting signal for the first German animal protection movement, which led to the founding of associations in five other Württemberg towns in 1838. In the second half of the 19th century, three Württemberg animal welfare associations were founded, which were based in Stuttgart. It was not until the Nazis broke up these established structures and replaced them with uniform local associations in larger cities in Württemberg, including the "Tierschutzverein Stuttgart und Umgebung". After the destruction of the Second World War, to which the animal shelter in Stuttgart also fell victim, things quickly picked up again for animal welfare in Stuttgart.

We trace this long history here in the form of a timeline. If you would like to know more, you can find everything about the period up to 1918 in the book: "Tierschutz und Tierrechte im Königreich Württemberg. The first German animal protection and animal rights movement in 1837, the three Württemberg animal protection associations from 1862 and their animals" by Wolfram Schlenker
