The evil wolf? Animal images between myths, fairy tales and nature conservation

© DHM

The "Day of the Wolf" is proclaimed annually by NABU to promote greater acceptance among the population. The themed tour offers an insight into a variety of attributions that have shaped the view of animals over the past centuries and continue to influence our imaginations. The wolf in particular has been symbolically charged on the one hand and overloaded with human characteristics on the other. Literary testimonies, pictures and a taxidermied wolf tell of historical projection surfaces in the exhibition. However, other objects such as a dove as a symbol of the Holy Spirit or Alfred Brehm's animals of the forest also lead us into symbolic and historical worlds, which is addressed in the tour as well as representations and interpretations of other animals in more than 800 years of German history.Translated with DeepL
