The park opened in 1969 and survived the unification of Germany. In the 90 years under mysterious circumstances gradually fell into the hands of the West German businessman and adventurer hereditary Norbert Witte. That's what open source reported his grandfather Otto:

There was a circus acrobat. In 1913, when Albania was separated from the Ottoman Empire, there emerged a movement for the invitation of the Sultan's nephew, Prince Halim Eddine, Albanian throne. Witte allegedly found on the published portraits, he looked like a Turkish prince, and together with his friend, Max Shlepsigom sword-swallower, went to the Albanian city of Durres. Arriving in the city, he allegedly declared himself Prince, and August 13, 1913 was proclaimed King of Albania, local troops. Over the next five days - said Witte - he was happy to use the services of the harem and had to declare war on neighboring Montenegro. Then the deception was revealed, but Witte and Shlepsigu escaped.
It is known that in the later identity card issued by the police in Berlin Witte, was written: "circus impresario, in his time the King of Albania."

By the way, on the road belonging to the family amusement Witte in Hamburg, there was a one of the worst accidents: seven dead and fifteen wounded (1981).

It is curious that the company Witte Spreepark GmbH for a long time and very generous contributors to party funds of the Christian Democrats in Berlin. Concurrently grew its debts. And in 2001, it was declared bankrupt.

Since then, the park grows quietly.

Norbert Witte took out several roundabouts in Peru. There's things did not go, so a couple of years vvёz them back.
The customs office, however, it was found that one of the attractions of the masts is 167 kg (!) Of cocaine. But in prison Witte had a heart attack, why (and for good behavior), he was released early. Since 2008, he again controls the territory. It also happens.

Once a week, on Sundays, the daughter of Witte leads tours through the park. Pleasure is worth 15 euros.
The rest of the week you can not walk in the park. Photograph too.

People and photographers, happened to be in the photo story may have committed an offense. But they were willing to pay a fair protection service in a fine of 60 euros from the nose.
However, an employee for some reason could not write out a receipt. Instead, he kindly offered to agree on the amount of EUR 30 - for everyone. In this he was charged with identity press. Then he offered to accompany the group to the nearest exit - only delete pictures or pay 15 euros for a "tour". But again, without a receipt.

Select the "delete", we do not mind. But we must also return, in good weather. Online a lot of amateur photos and videonarezok. Apparently, I could see not all the interesting parts.
