Permanent entry to Zoo Berlin and Aquarium
The holder of one or more shares can request a card for free admission to the public areas of Zoo Berlin and Berlin Aquarium for themselves and up to two named relatives. Each shareholder receives only one right regardless of the number of shares, and the card is required at entry.
SOURCE ->Right remains while the share is held
The entry right remains valid while the shareholder or heir retains at least one share. It is personal and non-transferable; selling the only share ends the seller's right.
SOURCE ->FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - ZOOLOGISCHER GARTEN BERLIN AG
How many shares are needed for the Zoo Berlin entry right?
+
One or more shares are enough to apply, but each shareholder receives only one right regardless of the number of shares held. The one-time contribution from 1 July 2026 is additional to the share purchase.
What is the real cost of the benefit?
+
From 1 July 2026, the official rules provide for a one-time €816 contribution for new shareholders or shareholders who do not yet have the right. Add the share price and any broker costs.
What does the entry card cover?
+
The card provides free entry to the public areas of Zoo Berlin and Berlin Aquarium for the shareholder and up to two named relatives. The card must be shown at the entrance and park-specific access rules still apply.
Can the right be transferred with the share?
+
No. The right is personal and non-transferable. It remains with the shareholder or heir while at least one share is retained; it does not automatically pass to a buyer when a share is sold.
Does Zoologischer Garten Berlin pay a dividend?
+
No. The official AGM invitation states that the charitable company does not distribute profits or dividends to shareholders. The value of the share is therefore linked to the entry right, not to an income distribution.
How can I buy or hold the share?
+
The shares are held in a securities account. The company describes two historical classes, including WKN 503180 with Aquarium and WKN 503186 without Aquarium; trading moved to Tradegate in 2026. Check with your broker which security and market are available before buying.
