Our Theme World: Animals
A classic - Our Animals
Neighing, mooing and plenty to discover: There’s always something happening in the animal hall at Grüne Woche. Visitors of all ages can get up close to the animals and discover a world full of exciting sights, sounds and experiences.
Whether watching demonstrations in the arena or talking to the people who work with the animals every day, visitors can experience agriculture first-hand. Pet lovers also have something to look forward to: after a one-year break, the popular pet area is returning.
Animal Hall
The animal hall is home to an impressive variety of large livestock breeds. Breeders present their animals and provide insights into breeding, husbandry and care. It’s no surprise that the hall is one of Grüne Woche’s biggest visitor attractions.
Things get moving in the show ring: this year’s programme features donkeys, mules, cattle and horses. Expert presentations highlight the characteristics of the different breeds. Make sure to visit the arena in Hall 25 and experience the action up close.
A special highlight is the Pferdesport Deutschland National Stallion Show for Sport Ponies. From 15 to 17 January, the focus will be on sport pony breeding.
At the information stands, experts will also be available to answer questions about responsible animal husbandry and talk directly with visitors.
The Society for the Preservation of Old and Endangered Livestock Breeds (GEH) will present the Endangered Livestock Breed of the Year. The annual campaign will officially kick off in the show ring on the first Saturday of Grüne Woche.
World of pets
Back in Hall 27: This time, the focus is on dogs and the many different ways people and dogs live together – from life in the countryside to everyday life in the big city.
Another key focus is on assistance and working dogs. Visitors can learn about the special tasks performed by trained dogs and the different ways they support people.
Demonstrations and information on training and everyday life show just how diverse the relationship between people and dogs can be.
