The 1st Panzer Division (German: "1. Panzerdivision", short: "1. PzDiv") is an armoured division of the German Army. Its headquarter is based in Oldenburg. In the course of the last reorganisation of the Bundeswehr it became the backbone of Germany's newly formed intervention forces with a manpower of 35,000 soldiers. The division is equipped and trained for high intensity combat operations against militarily organized enemies as well as peacekeeping missions. The majority of all German troops assigned to EU-Battlegroups and Nato Response Forces will come from this division. It also represents Germany's permanent contribution to the binational I. German/Dutch Corps. The 43rd Mechanized Brigade of the Royal Netherlands Army is integrated into the 1st Panzer Division since 2019.

Hannover-Zoo

Hannover-Zoo (also called Zooviertel, rarely called Hindenburgviertel) is a quarter of the city of Hanover. Located within the quarter is the eponymous Hanover Zoo, also known as the Hanover Zoological Gardens. Part of the borough Hanover-Mitte, it has 4,952 inhabitants (2020).The quarter is home to the Hanover Congress Center, whose complex contains the historic Stadthalle Hannover, as well as the Stadtpark Hannover, the city park of Hanover built on the grounds of the first Bundesgartenschau of 1951. The entire northern part of the Eilenriede belongs to the district. As such, the Lister Tower is also located in the Zoo district and not in the List district. The Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover is headquartered at the Neues Haus plaza in the quarter. There are two high schools in the district, the Sophienschule and the Kaiser Wilhelm and Ratsgymnasium. On Gellertstraße street is the Neo-Romanesque church of St. Elisabeth. The former Jewish Hospital Hannover was also located in the district. The later Reich President Paul von Hindenburg lived in the Zoo district from 1919 to 1925, from which the name Hindenburgviertel was derived. The city of Hanover had appointed Hindenburg as honorary citizen and gave him a villa. The Hindenburgvilla is now the seat of the Fritz Behrens Foundation.The zoo district is considered a desirable residential area containing upscale historic buildings with significantly above-average rents and real estate prices.
