Knautschke was a famous hippopotamus born at the Berlin Zoo on May 29, 1943. Surviving the war alongside 90 other animals, Knautschke became a beloved attraction. After losing his mother during wartime, he thrived thanks to dedicated zookeepers and Berliners who provided food. Knautschke fathered 35 calves, but due to inbreeding, his daughter Jette also became his granddaughter. He died on June 20, 1988, after being injured in a fight with his son. A sculpture was created in his memory, displayed at the Berlin Zoo.
