The Zoo flak tower, (German: Flakturm Tiergarten or the Zoo Bunker[citation needed]), was a fortified flak tower that existed in Berlin from 1941 to 1947. It was one of several flak towers that protected Berlin from Allied bomber raids. Its primary role was to protect the government building district of Berlin, as well as provide bunker space for civilians during attack. The Zoo tower also had a hospital facility. During the Battle of Berlin, it acted as a citadel and provided support for ground operations by German troops in combat with Soviet ground forces.
