The "Nibelungenhalle" with its reptile zoo

in 1913 as a picture gallery and memory hall on the occasion of Richard Wagner’s 100th birthday.
After the “Nibelungenhalle” was dedicated to his big musical drama “Der Ring der Nibelungen”, it was almost obvious to establish a dragon cave here. This dragon cave was supposed to demonstrate the story of the dragon Fafnir and Siegfried’s victory over this monster for the young and the old, but especially for the little ones.
The reptile zoo at the “Nibelungenhalle” shows the descendants of the saurians. Next to alligators, saurians, snakes and geckos you will find tarantulas and scorpions here. The reptile zoo presents one of Germany’s biggest exhibitions of living reptiles.
