The brand motif shows the imperial breakfast pavilion built in 1759 in the center of the menagerie facility. The frame is formed from bottom to top branching, bent backwards, palm-like leaves, between which animals move. A spectacled snake, a gazelle, a monkey, a toucan (pepper eater) and a hummingbird, on the left a lizard-like water monitor, a flamingo, a bird of paradise and a weasel are representative of the many other inhabitants of this zoo. The first news that exists about the existence of a menagerie in Schönbrunn dates back to July 30, 1752. World War II affected the menagerie and so it took great effort to rebuild it, until the Tiergarten Schönbrunn in 1952 again to a time appropriate Level could be brought. Today, the Schönbrunner Tiergarten is one of the most modern in Europe. Visitors and zoo animals alike benefit from the extensive improvement measures taken in recent years, and they document the understanding of modern animal gardening.
