Hitler's architect Speer did not have time to complete much of his monumental design, he did broaden the road from the Brandenburger Tor through Tiergarten to a wide east-western aisle and he moved King Wilhelm's 1873 Siegessaeule - Victory Column and the monuments for Bismarck, General Moltke and War Minister Roon from the Reichstag to the center of Tiergarten (Grosser Stern, Bus 100).
You can climb the Siegessaeule and take photographs from its 157 feet viewing platform.
You find the Zoo via Kurfuerstendamm and Breitscheidplatz or via Bahnhof Zoo - Zoo station (S- and U-train station Zoologischer Garten, S3, S5, S7, S75, S9, U2, U9, Bus 100, 200). Founded in 1844 Berlin's zoo has been Germany's first zoological garden, today the zoo boasts the largest number of species worldwide.
